ARM-scripts

Scripts and tools for Automatic Ripper Machine

  • .abcde.conf - configuration file for abcde audio ripper
  • arm.yml - configuration for ARM itself
  • convert.sh - automated Handbrake conversion and content move with progress indicators

ARM is a great tool to automate ripping CDs and DVDs, and I have added some additional scripts to improve the process (IMHO).

Dependencies

  • lame - for mp3 output
  • cdparanoia - for the ripping
  • HandBrakeCLI - for the DVD conversion
  • zenity - for notifications using convert.sh
  • unbuffer - used by zenity output
  • picard - used if the tracklisting isn't available

Processing Music CDs

  1. Put the CD in
  2. When it ejects, the mp3 files, cover art and m3u playlist will be in /home/arm/media/music/mp3/[Artist]/[Album Title]

Tracklisting Issues

If it doesn't pick up the tracklisting, see How to Add Tracklisting for details.

  1. Then delete the /home/arm/abcde.[DISCID] folder
  2. Next, put the disk back in to rip with the corrct tracklisting
  3. You can check progress by monitoring /home/arm/logs/music_cd.log

Processing DVDs

  1. Put the DVD in
  2. When it ejects, the mkv files will be in /home/arm/media/completed
  3. To convert to mp4 (High Quality 1080p), run ./convert.hs [foldername] from /home/arm/media/completed
  4. This converts each of the mkv files in turn to mp4 files in the /home/arm/media/completed folder and reformats the filenames. It then moves the /home/arm/media/complete/[foldername] to the /home/arm/media/completed/ConvertedToMP4 folder. This folder can be kept if you want the original mkv files and have sufficient space or can be emptied if they are not needed.
