This code attempts to automatically identify metadata and orchestrate other tools to rip and transcode DVDs and Blu-Rays into mkv files. Due to inconsistencies among different media, it relies on a happy path to work.
Requirements
This is only known to work on Linux. You'll need working versions of makemkvcon and HandBrakeCLI on your path.
Installation
git clone git@github.com:jseabold/decree.git
cd decree
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install .Configuration
You can configure four variables via a config.yaml file. The DEVICE_NAME is your drive (e.g., /dev/sr0). The MOUNT_POINT is where you would like to mount the drive. If you have configured the drive to automount, then this is optional. RAW_PATH is the directory in which the raw, uncompressed mkv files are placed after the rip step. FINAL_PATH is where the final, compressed mkv files are placed after transcoding.
API Keys
This requires two API keys for querying metadata. The Movie DB and The Open Movie Database. The keys are expected to be in the environment variables TMDB_API_KEY and OMDB_API_KEY, respectively.
Usage
This can be used as a Python package or via the provided command-line interface. See decree --help for CLI usage instructions. If you want tab-completion for the CLI, source the appropriate .sh file for either bash or zsh.
Prior Art
The identification and ripping steps are inspired by the bash scripts in the Automatic Ripping Machine project. The transcoding step and its settings are inspired by this script.
