# Action Plan to Transcode Media Library to AV1 using Unmanic
## 1. Install Unmanic
If you haven't installed Unmanic yet, you can do so using Docker. Here’s a basic command to get started:
```bash
docker run -d \
--name=unmanic \
-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=1000 \
-e TZ=America/Los_Angeles \
-e NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all \
-e NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=compute,video,utility \
-p 8888:8888 \
-v /path/to/config:/config \
-v /path/to/media:/library \
--gpus all \
--restart unless-stopped \
unmanic/unmanic
Replace /path/to/config
and /path/to/media
with the appropriate paths on your system.
- Access the Unmanic web interface at
http://localhost:8888
(or the appropriate IP address if running on a remote server). - Go to the "Plugins" section.
- Find the AV1 encoding plugin in the list of available plugins.
- Enable the plugin and configure its settings according to your preferences. Make sure to select the correct encoding options for AV1.
- Add your media files to the Unmanic library.
- Unmanic will automatically start transcoding your media files to AV1.
