Well.. that's usually a good indicator another season is coming

your problem might be windows.
I think everyone here might be nerd enough to be assuming everyone is running Linux.
There's tdarr, unmanic and fileflows as the popular choices.
Personally I use fileflows as it is extremely customisable and you can set up quite complex rules for how and what to convert.
It's fine, it can do a few at once. I didn't do a lot of testing since I never have to transcode these days anyway.
That was such a dumb release, I love it. Perfectly on brand from them.
The actual surround mix itself is fantastic, lots of motion and depth.
If anyone has the means and a proper setup for it, the surround sound mix of this album is a crazy experience.
something is definitely wrong with the config if its failing at a single 1080p, I did a plex server test on an intel n95 nuc (one of the lowest end cpus in their current range) and it blasted through multiple 4k HDR transcodes simultaneously.
I think it's worth figuring out why Fileflows wasn't using your hardware, if you re running in a container you may need to manually map the hardware device for example. you can customise and configure as much as you want too, you can even go as far as custom ffmpeg command line options, and having multiple options based on the flow you write.
However, the CPU encode will provide better image quality in most cases, and since you can set it to run slowly in the background with a couple of CPU cores and limited usage you can just let it run and eventually it will be done.
I run fileflows on my file server and it is using a GPU, but some files have to fall back to CPU (my GPU is a bit older so there are some unsupported files) in which case it gets just a single core and takes its time. it's saved me several terabytes of space archiving old content in libraries that I consider less than critical. I could have just run a one time ffmpegbatch run, but I like having it checking regularly so that new additions to the library enter the flow, they stay untouched for
This is a good meme.
search for the "BR-DISK" tag
a remux is just the video and audio data put into a new container, no compression. but it is just the main movie file, no menus, no extras, nothing like that.
the common tag for searching for whole disks (BDMV folders, Video_ts folders or ISO images) is BR-DISK
