Content Spotlight: HandBrake Web
Meet HandBrake Web, an unofficial web interface for the popular video transcoding tool. Designed primarily for users seeking the simplicity of Handbrake vs alternatives like Tdarr and FileFlows, HandBrake Web provides a native web interface for managing jobs while also adding support for distributed transcoding via workers across machines. Other features include adding and automating jobs by directory, queues, and preset management (note that presets will need to be created externally for the time being).
HandBrake Web can be installed via Docker and includes containers for a server and any number of workers.
