Automate Ripping

#1 Post by ionas » Tue Nov 25, 2025 8:23 am

Hello

i am running makemkv in a docker container.
My goal is to insert the disc and execute automated ripping to a specified destination.

in the second step i want to automatically process the raw mkv with hand brake - but i'll look into that once the automation with makemkv works.

can you point me in the right direction there?
a short check before ripping if the file already exists would make sense, i have no further requirements that i can think of right now.

thank you! :-)

Scripting in BASH would be the easiest if that's all you want. Take a couple hours and read this 1 page and that's all you need: https://linuxconfig.org/bash-scripting-tutorial "makemkvcon" (not makemkv) is the program you'll use (makemkvcon is what the GUI "MakeMKV" uses).
