Whenever I torrent something I feel like the torrent almost always includes addtitional subtitles and audio tracks. Is there a way to prevent this? I’ve tried to set up bazarr to atleast fetch the correct subititles and default those to english but its not always working either. But the default audio tracks I’ve yet to find a way to delete/set english as default.

Is this as common of a problem for Usenet users? Been considering going over to usenet for a while.

    Lots of suggestions for MKVToolNix, but I prefer automated solutions:

    Tdarr is a highly configurable automated conversion tool. You can use it to just remove extra video audio or subtitle streams, change containers, transcode streams into different codecs, or all of the above.

    I’ve got it set to automatically convert all media that gets added to my libraries into hevc/mkv while stripping out extra audio/subtitle tracks. This leaves me with less clutter and 30-40% smaller file sizes.

      Thanks for pointing that out, as it would have to be automated for me to be “happy” with it. I’ll have a deep-dive into tdarr asap.
