PlexTidy is a small python3 script to cleanup your transcode directory to allow processing on small (ram)disks.

• Use it directly through Python3(.5+), visit the GitHub Release! page to download the script.

pip3 install scandir --upgrade
*/1 * * * * python3 plextidy.py -o [OPTIONS]

The variables are honored to configure your instance:

• -t, --disk-threshold = Disk full threshold (Default 700 (e.g. 70%))
• -i,--disk-interval = Period in seconds between disk threshold checks. The default interval is 60 seconds. Higher quality source media and a smaller disk size require more frequent threshold checks A higher disk threshold (speficied by the user) will also require more frequent checks;
• -p,--disk-path = Path to the temporary working directory used by the Plex New Transcoder. The transcode_path can be modified from the Plex web through Settings -> Server -> General -> Advanced;
• -f,--file-regex = The temporary file regex (default should be fine);
• -l,--log-level = Logging Level DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR (DEBUG is not advised);
• -d,--log-dir = Log directory (default script dir) for logrotating.
• -o,--one-off = Run only once, in-case you run from cron (default=false)
