I'm currently in the process of re-downloading everything on x265 because of the smaller files sizes. Whats do you guys think? Also has anybody experience with Tdarr?

I prefer x264 since all my devices can play it, though x265 is great for file sizes.

This. I actually went the opposite route to OP, replaced everything 265 to 264 to avoid playback issues. My content is played on many different devices so 265 simply won't cut it.

For me the math worked out that it was cheaper to get a nuc with quick sync than to pay for the extra storage h264 uses, it's less than half the bitrate (usually ~2Mbit for 1080 compared to 8+), I have 23TB of content and my Intel nuc power efficiently transcodes to h264 on demand if the device needs it.

What kind of devices won't play x265? I've got some rather old hardware and it seems to work just fine on everything.

I sometimes stream from my 2014 ultrabook to my TV... never had a problem with x264, but some x265 encodings cut out/freeze/lag during scenes where a lot is happening (motionwise)
