Node-MakeMKV: The Missing Web UI For MakeMKV

[lightsabersetc]

I created a wrapper around makemkvcon that allows for a MakeMKV Web UI. The app is definitely rough around the edges at this point, but has already saved me a decent amount of headaches so I will post it here.

Features Include:
* Folder name normalization
* Client/Server architecture
* Multiprocessing to allow simultaneous operations
* Server side caching so that one client can pick up where another left off
* Supports ripping from directories & images located on server
* Semi-auto title selection (not perfect by any means )

Planned Features:
* Track (video, audio, subtitle) selection
* Unified status console
* Scanning/ripping progress indicators

The app and instructions are located on my blog (check my signature for the link - current version is v0.1.0-beta). It requires Node.js, and CoffeeScript.

Let me know if you run into any bugs, or have questions regarding usage. I'm not exactly the best tech doc writer, so I'm sure I missed some things. Feature requests are also welcomed!

Awesome work!

[lightsabersetc]

Thanks !
I actually just integrated a name normalization script that I've been working on too...just some simple stuff like Title casing, breaking seasons/discs/episodes into a standardized format, and some other random things that tend to bug me with DVD/BDR names. Let me know if you have any suggestions; this is definitely a work in progress!

I just finished up with the somewhat final GUI, which looks very similar to multiple instances of MakeMKV. I replaced the screenshot above, and tagged the 0.31 release for download at http://code.google.com/p/remote-makemkv/downloads/list. There's still a lot to do, but at least the GUI isn't just a bunch of checkboxes with variable information dumped into them

This looks really cool! Thanks for sharing with us. I'm gonna give it a try real soon.

[lightsabersetc]

No problem; I'm just happy to see that I'm not the only one crazy enough to need something like this! Let me know if you have any questions with the install, my instructions leave a lot to be desired at this point

great job!

but a tutorial would be really helpful.
dont know really where to put the files. and i'm getting an error "ImportError: No module named video_renaming.rename" on the client side. while the server side is saying "waiting for clients". so i hope the server works.

btw. a webUI isn't possible or? :/

[lightsabersetc]

Sorry I didn't see this reply earlier, I must not have set my notification settings correctly. I wrote a tutorial on my blog that should help out.

To touch on the Web UI side of things, yes it is possible, and I am currently working on it (although in Node.js instead of Python). Below is a picture of what I've got so far, the repo is also on my blog if you would like to expand upon the source.

hi - great work - any news to the node.js server?

[lightsabersetc]

Hi, yes actually there is! I completed my first few successful rips, and am just polishing a few things up. Stay tuned - I expect to release a beta within the next week or two

[Bahndit]

Looks pretty cool! Any updates?

[lightsabersetc]

I haven't made any updates for a while, but there is a very solid beta right now.

The best way to stay up to date with the project would be to watch it on GitHub - https://github.com/dlasley/node-makemkv

For some reason, I don't get the emails from this forum; so the best way to request features would be to open an issue on the above GitHub

Is this still a viable option? I'm trying to install it on an Ubuntu 18.04 server but I had all sorts of issues installing but finally got to the stage of trying to run and I'm getting this error.

Code: Select all

Error: Cannot find module '/home/dave/temp/node_modules/udev/build/node-v88-linux-x64/udev.node'

I then tried 'sudo npm install -g udev' it runs for a wall and then gives me many pages of output with ERR at the start of pretty much every line. The tail end of which is:
