HPR4527: Overly Complicated Media Ripping setup

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
