Automatic Ripping Machine (ARM)

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.

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 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
