# Plex Elastic Transcoder [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/munnerz/plex-elastic-transcoder.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/munnerz/plex-elastic-transcoder)

This is a simple tool that should be used in place of the "Plex New Transcoder" binary on your Plex Media Server host in order to distribute the load of Plex transcoding.

It works by scheduling a job on a Kubernetes cluster, with the appropriate media and transcode directories exported via NFS to the transcoding containers.

### Todo list

- Make config load from a file
- Make executor backend selection happen dynamically based on available backends
- Disable force pull of images when not running in testing/debug mode
