Built an automated background daemon to auto-cut dynamic ads and validate audio folders before ABS scans them
Hey fellow ABS users,
I wanted to share a companion utility I’ve been building for my own self-hosted setup called PodRip.
If you are pulling down podcast feeds or certain audiobooks, you know how annoying it is when dynamic ads, sponsor blocks, or corrupt tracking metadata clutter up your listening experience. PodRip runs silently on a 60-second background loop inside an isolated Docker container right alongside Audiobookshelf. It scans your media tree, automatically cuts out dynamic ads (mid-rolls, intros, outro spam), handles silent padding, and ensures your files are structurally verified beforeABS scans them into your library.
📦 How to Install
The project deployment block is live on GitHub. You can spin it up instantly using the raw text command in the repository README:
👉 GitHub Repository: https://github.com/nicknikau/dairemoval/tree/main
🎟️ 50-Use Community License Key
While my production storefront approval is finalizing, I’ve generated a multi-use token specifically for the community here to test out the engine footprint and throw heavy media folders at it.
🔑 Community Key: 1E61B81A-A4AF-48A1-9876-07423F216120
Drop the installation line into your terminal, paste the token when prompted, and let me know how it handles your file structures!
