Please provide a somewhat simple option to convert .ts files to mp4, so that we can download load tv shows which have been converted and occupy less space, thereby creating smaller files to download for offline access (camping). I tried several post processing scripts, but have seen them often fail after a Plex upgrade. I finally gave up. ---

Thank you. I was not aware of this option. But is there an option to automatically delete the.ts file upon completion of the optimization? Or does deleting after watching delete both files? ---
