H264 should be h265

Help & Support
1

I have Fileflow working fairly well with converting TV shows. I convert all tv from mkv to 720p AAC HEVC.mp4.
I get a file like this TVshow (2025) - 01x01 - Pilot [HDTV-720p] [AAC] [h264].mp4. When looking at mediainfo i see it has been correctly converted to HEVC. I have the Flow/script ‘Sonarr Refresh’ ( u/author Shaun Agius, Anthony Clerici : Modified by Macnemarion ) with the correct address and API set in place straight after “replace Original” it fails .
ATM I must go into Sonarr to each updated show and click ‘Preview Rename’ . It then pops up showing the h264 replaced by h265 !! and a click gets me where i want to be .

Don’t send me to FF as they are not helpful :mask:

Fileflow would need to tell Sonarr to rename the file(s) after converting them, a refresh won’t rename file and not sure if they support that functionality.

Thanks for the reply. Sonarr in FF has a refresh only. Radarr has refresh and rename !! :upside_down_face:

Likely because files are linked with movies in Radarr, whereas they’re linked with episodes, so you need to know the episode(s), not just the series.

I don’t understand ! The end file is an episode yes in Sonarr .
But in Radarr its still just one file. That happens to be a movie. Both tv and movie are h264.mp4 or x264.mp4 :interrobang:

I merely expressed why I thought it might not have the option, it’s more work. This isn’t really about Sonarr though, this is a difference in how FF doesn’t have an option, but it could.
