Full Version: Silent HTPC conversion almost complete...

My original htpc was hastily thrown together with parts from brick and mortars.
I have just recently upgraded to silent psu, silent video card, 30GB ssd, and moved all platter hdds to a media server. I am keeping the bluray drive in the htpc so my wife can play a bluray disc if she needs to (using the bluray/makemkv addon)

Before, I would just rip directly to one of the local hdds using makemkv for windows. I have since migrated to a linux environment for more of a integrated experience and have hit a road block. Is there a script or addon that can automatically rip Bluray using makemkv and throw it over the lan to the media server?

This is the last piece of the puzzle for me and any help would be appreciated!
Anyone? I found the swiss army addon. Is that the only option?

What silent PSU did you go with? Just curious...sorry this does not answer your initial question.

Install DVDFab under Linux using WINE.
Sorry, I should have been more clear. I am looking for more of a solution that utilizes XBMC scripting. ie put in disc, navigate to program option, have it automagically rip the bluray to mkv on my media server. Going for a seamless xbmc experience.

Supposedly there is a script called swiss army knife or something to that respect, but I was looking for other options.
