Please follow the instructions in the README.md file in the GitHub repository. You can only change this setting 4 or 5 times then it gets stuck so if you’re apt to watch movies from multiple regions you’ll want to look at getting a drive that you can flash the firmware.
FREENAS FILEBOT INSTALL
Fortunately before I got too far down the flash the drive path I discovered you can simply change the region code! Since I’m only playing North American movies I set the region code to 1 using: sudo apt-get install regionset Looking at it looks like it is possible to flash some drives so that they can play videos in all region codes. Errors likely to follow.”,”BD-ROM NECVMWar VMware IDE CDR10 1.00″Īfter doing a little research I found out DVD and Blu-Ray players have region codes that only allow them to play movies in the region they were intended–by default the Panosonic drive shipped with a region code set to 0.

I kept getting this error while trying to rip a movie: I wasn’t sure if VMware would recognize the Blu-Ray functions on the drive but it does! Once physically installed edit the VM properties so that it uses the host device as the CD/DVD drive and then select the optical drive. Unfortunately my server case only has a slim-DVD slot on it so I’m using an LG BT30N (these can be found on eBay). At first I tried using an external USB Blu-Ray drive but the VM didn’t seem to be able to get direct access to it. I am using my Datacenter in a Box Build and run the ARM on Ubuntu Linux 16.04 LTS under VMware. You can use Ubuntu on bare metal or run it under VMware. LG seems to be one of the better drive manufacturers in my experience. If you have a normal 5 1/4″ drive bay I suggest getting the LG WH16NS40 16X blu-ray drive since it is known to not be speed limited. Most Blu-Ray drives have an anti-feature called “riplock” where it will purposefully cripple the read-speed on dvds and blue-rays to around 2X to 4X instead of the advertised drive speed (I believe this to be false advertising). Instructions to get it installed on Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04 LTS follows.ĪRM Equipment & Hardware Blu-Ray Hardware and VMware Settings A WARNING ABOUT SOME BLU-RAY DRIVES Now the ARM has been rewritten in Python and has a number of options to customize the way different people handle media. Since then quite a few contributors have made many improvements. I uploaded the scripts to GitHub under the MIT license.

FREENAS FILEBOT MANUAL
It runs on Linux, it’s completely headless and fully automatic requiring no interaction or manual input to complete it’s tasks (other than inserting the disk). Audio CD -> Rip and Encode to FLAC and Tag the files if possible.DVD / Blu-ray -> Rip with MakeMKV and Transcode with Handbrake.(Automatic Ripping Machine) detects the insertion of an optical disc, identifies the type of media and autonomously performs the appropriate action:
