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
• Auto downloads keys_hashed.txt and KEYDB.cfg using robobrowser and tinydownloader
• 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 asynchronusly batched from ripping
    • Send notifications via IFTTT, Pushbullet, Slack, Discord, and many more!
  • If audio (CD) - rip using abcde (get discdata 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

• Ubuntu Server 20.04 (should work with other Linux distros) - Needs Multiverse and Universe repositories
