Like many of you, I have a home-grown, automated ripping project for transcoding my physical library to digital. From time to time, I come across another one of your projects, like https://github.com/demonfoo/autorip, and I'm impressed at how much thought and effort has obviously gone into it, as well as at how many things you've thought of doing that I haven't. It makes me wonder whether there's any room for collaboration.
A really common problem I think we all share is figuring out what a disk is and what's on it. Is it a movie? A TV show? What special features are there? Which is the correct main movie title? What TV episodes are on it? I wonder if there's a way to establish a "signature" for a disk that would solve the first part of the problem: what is this disk? If there were a way to start building a shared database of such signatures, then answering the other questions would have a common starting point.
Is there such a database out there that I haven't come across? Does anyone think it's worth trying to build? What problems would we encounter with it? What other things might be shareable between these projects?
Sharing disk signatures? Sharing other data?
Re: Sharing disk signatures? Sharing other data?
Wow, yeah. That looks a lot like what I'm thinking of, as far as the data goes. There isn't much there in terms of vision or how the data will/can be used, though.
