HPR4527: Overly Complicated Media Ripping setup

Hacker Public Radio

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host.

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 HPR3294 - Update to MakeMKV to back up media

I’ve changed my mind about only using a terminal for ripping media, and it was time to make a change. Now, I start both MakeMKV and Handbrake from a remote GUI, either on my laptop or phone.

• VNC server for remote GUI
  • virt-manager server

sudo apt install tigervnc-common

• Remmina VNC viewer, tabbed viewing
  • Debian desktop
• VNC Client for Android
  • AVNC client on F-Droid
• NFS server on Raspberry Pi
  • Remote for Intel mini PC Server

Added symbolic links to /srv/ for ease of use
