https://github.com/enigma0Z/makemkv-headless
Designed to work seamlessly with Jellyfin's media organization schema, but may be updated/adapted to work with other systems (Plex, Emby if it differs greatly from Jellyfin). Essentially this creates a REST api for makemkvcon
Features
- TMDB integration for media lookup, naming, and ID's
- Automatic file organization compatible with Jellyfin
- Number and sort episodes from tv shows
- Web interface so it can run headless on a server
- Mobile-friendly web interface
Caveats
- No installer, installation/usage is for advanced users
- Some bugs
- Manual configuration required via a yaml file (but I'm building an interface for this!)
- Stopping/starting requires CLI experience as well (again, advanced users)
- You will need to get your own TMDB API code, which isn't dififcult, but again, **advanced users**
All of this being said, I’ve out 100s of disks through this program which, essentially, creates a REST API for makmkvcon and though it’s quite rough around the edges I’m quite proud of it.

How are you identifying the ripped files? Are you using hashes for the unencrypted files or parsing the playlist files or volume_name + filesize + modtime or... ? This has been discussed on here seemingly for a decade but nobody seems to have decided on a identification routine.
