Unmanic is a self-hosted library optimiser that monitors a file library and converts files into a uniform format using configurable plugins and FFmpeg-based workers. It provides a web UI for managing file conversion, movement, and custom command execution across media collections.

Use cases

  • convert my entire media library to a single uniform format
  • automatically transcode videos to h265 for plex
  • monitor a folder and convert files as they are added
  • batch normalize audio codecs across a video collection
  • run custom commands on files based on timestamps
  • optimize home media server library for direct play

When to choose

  • you maintain a large media library that needs consistent codecs or containers
  • you want automated, plugin-driven transcoding triggered by file changes
  • you prefer a self-hosted web UI over manual ffmpeg scripting

When to avoid

  • you only need a one-off single-file conversion
  • you need real-time streaming transcoding rather than file rewriting
  • you want a lightweight CLI-only tool without a web service
