|
|
Hello, this is your host, Archer72, for Hacker Public Radio.
|
|
In this episode, I share my overly complicated media ripping setup and hope it helps someone.
|
|
First of all, I have revised my media ripping setup since HPR 3294.
|
|
I've changed my mind about only using a terminal for ripping media, and it was time to make a change.
|
|
Now I both start, make MKV and handbrake from a remote GUI, either on my laptop or phone.
|
|
I'm using an Intel Mini PC to install my VNC server on, and it's running Debian 12,
|
|
so it's only a sudo apt install tigervnc-common from getting the VNC server.
|
|
And then to start it, it's VNC server, and I space an ampersand, and then it runs it in the background,
|
|
so I can close the terminal from there.
|
|
And then for the remote VNC viewer, I used Remina, R-E-M-M-I-N-A, VNC viewer,
|
|
and it has tab viewing, which is a nice feature.
|
|
And I use it on my Debian 13 desktop on my laptop.
|
|
And I've also installed VNC client for Android, which is a VNC, and I'll show the FDroid link in the show notes.
|
|
Where I keep the Rift files is on an NFS server on a Raspberry Pi,
|
|
because that's where I originally had them, and I didn't want to change anything over.
|
|
The NFS server is so that I can have the Intel machine write the files that I ripped to the Raspberry Pi
|
|
with a hard drive attached to it.
|
|
And that is only a sudo apt install nfs-kernel-server away from installing that.
|
|
Then I added symbolic links to the slash srv directory,
|
|
and so that points to my mount point for USB drive 12 terabytes for DVD rips and to where I can move movies from there.
|
|
On the Intel side, I actually have to use the full path.
|
|
I thought I was going to make it easier by using symbolic links in the srv directory on the Raspberry Pi,
|
|
but instead I have to write it out as, for example,
|
|
192.168.50.20 colon slash mnt slash usb drive dash 12tb dash dvdrip space mnt slash dvdrip.
|
|
And then I'll follow the rest of that in the show notes for where you would mount it in your FS tab.
|
|
From here, I have a Blu-ray writer and Blu-ray reader
|
|
that was meant to go inside a PC.
|
|
Instead, I have a SATA adapter going to USB.
|
|
And on the Make MKV portion,
|
|
I was having trouble having it read the disk completely into Make MKV.
|
|
And I found out from one of the forums
|
|
that other people had the same problem
|
|
and they had to downgrade to a different version.
|
|
And that solved the problem.
|
|
After I ripped the disk,
|
|
then I can graphically add the files to Handbrake.
|
|
And I select the Make MKV output format
|
|
and output the compressed file into 1080p.
|
|
And it still makes a file for a movie under 2GB.
|
|
And that's only if I'm starting with a Blu-ray.
|
|
Otherwise, the movie is under 1GB once it's compressed with Handbrake.
|
|
From here, I scanned the library for both Plex and Jellyfin
|
|
because I've been trying out both lately.
|
|
And Plex turned out to be a little more useful
|
|
on the Roku side
|
|
with the Roku app
|
|
to be able to play anything
|
|
because I had trouble with Jellyfin connecting to Roku.
|
|
The last moving part to this setup
|
|
is using TailScale
|
|
which I'll leave the link to in the show notes
|
|
on how to set it up on Debbie and Trixie.
|
|
And also, I'll leave a note about
|
|
where the app is in the F-Droid store.
|
|
TailScale is what I use to remotely access VNC
|
|
and it treats the connection like a local connection.
|
|
That's all I have.
|
|
This has been Archer72.
