Hopefully this post is ok, trying to get word out on my app.
Basically its a self hosted app that processes any file you want through distributed processing nodes. So for example you can transcode all your video files to a format that suits your needs, and split that work between the server and a windows node, or mac, or linux.
It monitors "Libraries" (folders/paths) for files and will process them automatically, or based on schedules.
Its most similar to tdarr but mixed with node-red. But not limited to video files, that definitely the most common usage of it (and why I wrote it for), but since its based on files, it can process anything. You can execute other apps from within the flow so not limited to whats built in.
Users can write scripts that can be shared using Javascript (powered by Jint, so C# powered aswell).
There's a free tier that covers 96% of users, and nothing in the actual flow processing requires a subscription, but some of the fancier features like better dashboards, external database support, more processing nodes (2 in the free) need a patreon subscription.
It gets very regular updates, I'm releasing basically weekly, and have this last week I just added support for community flows to make it easy for users to share flows and help others get up and running faster.
A very typical use case is to have FFmpeg convert all your video files to a specific codec, audio codec, removing black bars from videos, removing unwanted audio, subtitles, remuxing to mkv/mp4.
Or you may want to create thumbnails of all your images.
Platforms supported: Docker, Linux, Windows, MacOS, unRAID (in the community app store)
