The program is called MakeMKV, not MakeMP4. That's not configurable.

Plex can handle MKV files. The auto-rip-and-eject is your issue.

DVDs are less likely to have names embedded in them than BDs, so you are going to have to manually handle them in any case.

Take a pic with a cheap webcam, name both the pic and the directory with a common timestamp then name them later.

Code: Select all

now=$(date +%s,%N)
mkdir "$now" # make the directory to rip to
makemkvcon backup --decrypt --cache=16 --noscan -r --progress=-same disc:0 "${now}/"
eject /dev/sr0
sleep 8 # wait for tray to open
ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -s 1920x1080 -i /dev/video0 -ss 0:0:2 -frames 1 "${now}.jpg"
In a thread named "Auto dvd ripping"... you must start to build something auto'ish :-). This really won't happen without at least balls-basic scripting like I posted above, so if the OP wants to do this, now is the time to take the toddler intro course to scripting using at least Bash or something higher like Pearl, Javascript, Python, etc.

You're a robot.

LLM's need a disclaimer, otherwise it's automated trolling.
