Quick convert movies to x265

ffmpeg_to_x265.sh

## This script is not totally error free. If your seas path has any spaces, it will shit itself out. Be careful
## Also, I usually run this on docker to avoid having to deal with ffmpeg dependencies on the host machine (linuxserver/ffmpeg)

#!/bin/sh

set -e

seas="/media/Videos" # place with videos
pushd "$seas"
files=$(find . -type f -name "*.mkv" | xargs -0)


for file in $files; do
        date=$(date)
        echo "$date" "|" Starting: "$file"
        base=$(basename "$file" .mkv)
        echo "$base"
        
        ## Run ffmpeg and remove any verbose output. If you have a NVDIA GPU, you can replace libx265 with hevc_nvenc for better performance
        ffmpeg -nostats -hide_banner -loglevel error -y -i "$file" -c:v libx265 -crf 28 -preset fast -c:a copy /out/"$base"_x265.mkv
        mv /out/"$base"_x265.mkv "$seas"
        rm "$file"
        echo "$date" "|" Ended: "$file"
