Not Observing Optimizations on x264 to x265 (HEVC) about plexcleaner HOT 4 CLOSED

That is a default rule, that will reencode if the format is h264 and the profile is Constrained Baseline@30.
From readme: "Some H.264 video profiles like Constrained Baseline@30 cause playback issues, re-encode to H.264 High@40."

Your file is reported as:

15:54:45 [INF] <13> "FfProbe" : Type: "VideoInfo", Format: "h264", HDR: "", Codec: "H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10", Language: "und", Id: 0, Number: 0, Title: "", Default: True, Profile: "High@40", Interlaced: False, ClosedCaptions: False, State: None, HasErrors: False, HasTags: False
15:54:45 [INF] <13> "FfProbe" : Type: "AudioInfo", Format: "eac3", Codec: "ATSC A/52B (AC-3, E-AC-3)", Language: "eng", Id: 1, Number: 1, Title: "", Default: True, State: None, HasErrors: False, HasTags: False
15:54:45 [INF] <13> "FfProbe" : Type: "SubtitleInfo", Format: "subrip", Codec: "SubRip subtitle", Language: "eng", Id: 2, Number: 2, Title: "English [SDH]", Default: False, Forced: False, State: None, HasErrors: False, HasTags: True

Where the format is h264 and profile is High@40, so that rule will not match.
If you want to reencode all h264 content, then remove the profile from the filter:

{
  "Format": "h264"
}

thanks @ptr727 ! Much appreciated

As you can see from the output; language was set, media stream verified, tags cleared:

16:19:11 [INF] <1> Modified: SetLanguage, Verified, ClearedTags : "/clean/tv.show.s11e23.1080p.web.h264-cakes.mkv"

This is not a recompression utility, and unless the media stream fails to verify, or is not in a desired format, the media will not be reencoded. If you really want h264 to be converted to h265, you should add h264 to the ReEncodeVideo section, but if your intent is to reencode, not make sure media can directplay (the purpose of this app), I'd suggest you look at other tools, like ffmpeg, handbrake, tdarr, etc.

thanks for the reply @ptr727 - I understand that I'm using this in a somewhat different use-case. thanks for clarifying.
However, if you look under my ReEncodeVideo section... I already have h264 there. Why isn't it re-encoding?

 {
        "Format": "h264",
        "Profile": "Constrained Baseline@30"
      },

Also, I have tdarr, but I like PlexCleaner because I'm able to easily insert it into my sabnzbd post-processing scripts, ensuring it gets re-encoded prior to moving to my Plex lib / NAS. Meaning sabnzbd doesn't report back to sonarr/radarr that the file has completed downloading until the file has been processed, which is fantastic.
