Transcodr is a local‑first video transcoding platform for creators and small studios. It runs a reliable daemon with a REST API and a fast Web UI, so you can batch encode, automate with watchfolders, and keep full control of your media.
- Own your pipeline and avoid expensive cloud workflows
- Process large libraries safely with repeatable profiles
- Use your hardware acceleration for faster encodes
- Automate ingestion with watchfolders and a clean API
- Web UI
- Daemon + REST API core (it powers the web UI and is directly accessible)
- Profile‑driven encoding (single or multi‑profile)
- Hardware acceleration: VAAPI (AMD/Intel), NVENC, QSV
- Watchfolders for automated ingest
- Safe replace or destination outputs
- SQLite‑backed queue that survives restarts
- Multi‑daemon orchestration (planned, not yet implemented)
-
Recommended for Docker: run the helper script from the repo root:
./docker/deploy.sh(rebuilds and restarts the stack)./docker/deploy.sh --no-cache(rebuild without cache)
