Tdarr nodes

• Home Assistant - This node can only use CPU transcoding and is trash. It's running alongside the server
  • Ideally it should be using VA-API, but it either is not, or this CPU doesn't support H.265
• MediaPC - /opt/Tdarr/Tdarr_Node
• Pop_OS Dell - /opt/Tdarr/Tdarr_Node
  
  • Laptop. Can stop service when needed with: sudo service tdarr stop
