Overview

Insert an optical disc (Blu-ray, DVD, CD) and checks to see if it's audio, video (Movie or TV), or data, then rips it.

See: https://b3n.org/automatic-ripping-machine

Features

  • Detects insertion of disc using udev
  • Determines disc type...
    • If video (Blu-ray or DVD)
      • Retrieve title from disc or OMDb API to name the folder "Movie Title (Year)" so that Plex or Emby can pick it up
      • Determine if video is Movie or TV using OMDb API
      • Rip using MakeMKV or HandBrake (can rip all features or main feature)
      • Eject disc and queue up Handbrake transcoding when done
      • Transcoding jobs are asynchronously batched from ripping
      • Send notifications via IFTTT, Pushbullet, Slack, Discord, and many more!
    • If audio (CD) - rip using abcde (get disc-data and album art from musicbrainz)
    • If data (Blu-ray, DVD, or CD) - make an ISO backup
  • Headless, designed to be run from a server
  • Can rip from multiple-optical drives in parallel
  • Python Flask UI to interact with ripping jobs, view logs, update jobs, etc

Usage

  • Insert disc
  • Wait for disc to eject
  • Repeat

Requirements

  • A system capable of running Docker containers
  • One or more optical drives to rip Blu-rays, DVDs, and CDs
  • Lots of drive space (I suggest using a NAS) to store your movies
