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.

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 Windows Media MetaServices 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 (can rip all features or main feature)
  - Eject disc and queue up Handbrake transcoding when done
  - Transcoding jobs are asynchronusly batched from ripping
  - Send notification when done via IFTTT or Pushbullet
- If audio (CD) - rip using abcde
- 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

Requirements

Ubuntu Server 16.04 (should work with other Linux distros)
One or more optical drives to rip Blu-Rays, DVDs, and CDs
Lots of drive space (I suggest using a NAS like FreeNAS) to store your movies

Install

If you have a new DVD drive that you haven't used before, some require setting the region before they can play anything. Be aware most DVD players only let you change the region a handful (4 or 5?) of times then lockout any further changes. If your region is already set or you have a region free DVD drive you can skip this step.

   sudo apt-get install regionset
   sudo regionset /dev/sr0

sudo apt-get install git
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:heyarje/makemkv-beta
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/xerus-media
sudo apt update
sudo apt install makemkv-bin makemkv-oss
sudo apt install handbrake-cli libavcodec-extra
sudo apt install abcde flac imagemagick glyrc cdparanoia
sudo apt install at
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip
sudo apt-get install libdvd-pkg
sudo dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg
sudo su
cd /opt
git clone https://github.com/ahnooie/automatic-ripping-machine.git arm
cd arm
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
ln -s /opt/arm/51-automedia.rules /lib/udev/rules.d/
ln -s /opt/arm/.abcde.conf /root/
cp config.sample config

Edit your "config" file to determine what options you'd like to use
To rip Blu-Rays after the MakeMKV trial is up you will need to purchase a license key or while MakeMKV is in BETA you can get a free key (which you will need to update from time to time) here: https://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1053 and create /root/.MakeMKV/settings.conf with the contents:
```
  app_Key = "insertlicensekeyhere" 
```

Optionally if you want something more stable than master you can download the latest release from the releases page.

Usage

Insert disc
Wait for disc to eject
Repeat

Troubleshooting

Check /opt/arm/log to see if you can find where the script failed. If you need any help feel free to open an issue.
