Docker application (working on Windows install now) that lets you process files using a simple flow based rule system. Similar to node-red but for files.

The reason I created this was to process videos into a standard format that all the devices in my house could playback (H265/AC3).

I tried unmaniac and tdarr but didn't really like those interfaces and they didn't do exactly what I wanted.

There's a cut-down demo available on the website. The demo doesn't connect to a backend so it doesn't include all the features.

After feedback/suggestions of features to add. Its quite powerful being so flexible, and not limited to just processing video files. It has a plugin based system and I've so far got 3 plugins. Basic (basic file processing/generic nodes), Videos (for video encoding/processing), Meta (for metadata, currently only TheMovieDb). The basic plugin also includes a "Executor" which lets you run any process against a file and use the exit code in the flow. So you could automically have it convert all you pictures to some format, or FLAC audio to MP3 or something.
