🔌 Popular Plugins
Unmanic has a rich plugin library — here are some popular ones:
| Plugin | Description |
|---|---|
| Video Encoder - HEVC | Convert videos to H.265/HEVC for smaller file sizes |
| Video Encoder - AV1 | Convert to AV1 for even better compression |
| Audio Encoder - AAC | Normalize audio tracks to AAC |
| Remove Subtitle Streams | Strip unwanted subtitle tracks |
| File size comparator | Only keep converted file if it’s smaller |
💡 Tip: Use the File size comparator plugin to make sure Unmanic only replaces your original files when the converted version is actually smaller — preventing accidental quality loss!
⚠️ Note: Make sure your
/mnt/cache/tempdirectory has enough free space — Unmanic needs room to store files during conversion before moving them to the library.
