Riparr debut. 3D printable for casuals to pop a disc in and walk away; As minimal as it gets.

I've worked on this off and on for the last 2 months. I actually had the idea about 13 months ago, and bought the few pieces of hardware required back then.

I'm a software engineer by day, and a 3D model dabbler by night, so I take great care and pride in this thing. I'll be upfront and mention, if it matters to you, that AI was definitely used; I'm only familiar with a few languages, but I really really wanted it available on multiple platforms (including Linux ARM) which means I had to ask for help on that front. Testing was done in VMs, so I'd appreciate any gotchas you run into. Development was initially on Mac OS, so I expect that front to be the most hammered out.

Initially, I wanted to just fork another *ARR development for that familiar layout, however, quickly learned that the Orange Pi Zero 2W (and other 2W variants with the same footprint) are simply a bit weak, and some pre-reqs weren't available for the lightweight ARM distro that gets installed. Instead I opted for resembling the layout as faithfully as I could, and I'm pretty satisfied with where that ended up.

This is mostly meant for casuals. I haven't implemented rip settings. It quite literally finds the largest title, and grabs it in the default language, and drops an MKV to your network share you tell it about directly. It's absolutely capable of settings though, so let me know what scenarios would be great additions. I plan on using this till it falls apart, so I'm married to the project; I wouldn't worry about support falling off a cliff.

Updates are cooked into the preparer tool, as well as the web interface, so if updates come up, its nice and easy to run those updates through.

Make ripping easier on yourself.

Rexarr is now on GitHub

Quick update on Rexarr, the self-hosted Blu-ray/DVD ripping and remux transcoding app that plugs into Radarr, Sonarr and Prowlarr: it's finally on GitHub.

GitHub link

Since my first post, a few things have changed:

  • The repo is public, with a Docker image (PUID/PGID support, healthcheck, compose file) plus an optional image with MakeMKV baked in for disc ripping
  • Documentation is up, covering setup, path mappings, transcode profiles and hardware acceleration
  • It has real contributors now. I started this with a fair bit of vibe coding, but it's no longer just that. People who actually know what they're doing are in the codebase, which makes it a lot more trustworthy than a weekend project I built for myself

For anyone who missed the first post, Rexarr handles disc detection and MakeMKV ripping, remux transcoding through ffmpeg with configurable profiles and hardware acceleration, and auto-transcode on import via Radarr/Sonarr webhooks. Full-disc releases (Blu-ray ISO, BDMV, DVD ISO) are next on the roadmap, so Rexarr can rip and import those when no remux exists.

It's still early, so expect rough edges. Issues, feature requests and PRs are all welcome, and I'd love to hear how it behaves on setups different from mine (I'm on a ZimaOS + Proxmox split). The UI follows the Radarr/Sonarr look on purpose, so it should feel familiar if you're already running the arr stack.

Thanks to everyone who gave feedback on the first post.

NeXroll v1.13.19 released - preroll manager for Plex/Jellyfin/Emby

I pushed out v1.13.18 yesterday but never posted about it, so this covers both that release and today's v1.13.19 follow-up.

For anyone new: NeXroll is a self-hosted preroll manager for Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby. Categories, scheduling (daily/weekly/monthly/yearly/holiday), sequences, blend modes, gap fillers, and a "NeX-Up" coming-soon trailer system. Free, runs on Windows or Docker.

v1.13.18 highlights

Scheduling

  • Yearly schedules with no end date now correctly stay active all year (previously only fired on the start date). Year-boundary ranges like Dec to Jan are supported too.
  • "This Week's Schedule" on the dashboard now clearly marks days where your gap-filler will play.

Library health tools

  • New Remove Missing Rows and Dedupe Duplicates buttons under Settings to clean up preroll counts that drift after files move or get deleted outside the app.
  • A dashboard banner now warns you when missing/duplicate entries are detected and links straight to the fix.

Preview accuracy

  • Dashboard "Currently Playing" preview now plays one random preroll per random block (matching what Plex actually does) and correctly includes trailer / Coming Soon blocks.
  • Sequence editor plays the final preroll in a sequence, and the builder preview now sees prerolls tagged via the newer multi-category system.

Quality of life

  • Killed a bug where TMDB poster thumbnails generated thousands of error-log entries.
  • Long preroll titles wrap instead of clipping; year-view calendar no longer overflows; update checks no longer spam errors when blocked by a firewall.

v1.13.19 (today)

  • Fixes a JSON backup/restore failure on Docker (FOREIGN KEY constraint failed). If you migrated from Windows to Docker and your restore aborted, this resolves it. Windows installs weren't affected, but the fix applies everywhere.

Docker: docker pull jbrns/nexroll:latest Windows: installer on the GitHub releases page.

Happy to hear feedback or bug reports.

Library management?

I'm fairly new to plex automation, full stack is fully functional, but I. Wondering what I can add to manage the libraries. Space is limited, and my current setup can't expand to more drives, so I'd have to replace the two 8tb drives I'm currently using and that's not in the budget. Anythingnout there that can monitor the libraries and delete titles that have been idle for a certain amount of time, or simply don't meet a certain criteria?

I'm running my stack on truenas scale
Gluetun
Sonarr
Radarr
Bazarr
Prowlarr
Tautulli
Plex

ARR that removes dead torrents?

Is there an ARR that will remove dead torrents from your download client and tell radarr/sonarr not to grab that release again?
