Changelog

v1.0.8

• Improved Title-Matching Algorithm
  Major overhaul to how AutoRipper identifies episode order when ripping TV shows using the TVDB:

  • No TVDB data: Sorts by title number (001, 002, 003, 004…).

  • Uniform episode lengths (e.g., all ~25 min):

    • Finds all titles matching that duration

    • Sorts by title number

    • Selects the first N titles in order

  • Varied episode lengths (e.g., 29, 27, 28, 34 min):

    • Assumes title order (001, 002, 003, 004)

    • Validates each title against TVDB durations

    • If all durations match, uses title order

    • If not, fixes order by sorting titles by TVDB duration

• Partial TVDB data: Falls back to title-number sorting with a warning.

• Title Selection Enhancements
  Added .mpls information to the title selection window to give clearer insight into playlist structures and help identify the correct main feature or episodes.

• Multi-Movie Disc Support
  AutoRipper can now properly detect and process discs containing multiple full movies.
  Each movie is recognized as its own title for ripping and transcoding.

• Custom FileBot Presets + Plex Naming Option
  Introduced an optional built-in FileBot preset tailored for Plex naming conventions.
  You can also now enter your own fully custom FileBot presets directly within AutoRipper for complete control over naming formats.

• Temp File Queue Bug Fix
  Resolved an issue where temporary files were occasionally being added to the transcode queue.

• Stability Improvements (UI Thread Crash Fix)
  Fixed a crash caused by the app attempting to read UI elements from a background thread while updating the progress display.
  The ripping/transcoding process continued normally, but the AutoRipper window could crash when this occurred.

v1.0.7

• Mac OS now supported
  Tested on Sequoia, Montery, and Catalina
  Seperate Intel + Apple Silicon versions
  **Please read "MAC Setup Instructions.txt" found in the OSX zip in downloads. 

• Better OMDB/TVDB search
  AutoRipper will search the corresponding database based on the disc title to attempt to autofill title/year information like normal. If it fails you can enter the title and hit search to see a list of results.
  If more than 1 match is found, the result window will be displayed for you to select. This is in place to prevent mismatches. (EG: "The Office (UK) vs. The Office (US)" or "Dune (1984) vs. Dune (2021)")

• Enhanced Logging System
  Added comprehensive per-disc logging to "/AutoRipperTemp/Logs/"

• Bonus Disc Support
  Added ability to select and rip extras/bonus content separately from main titles, useful for bonus feature discs
  Extras are organized in "Movie Title/Extras/" folder
  Full transcoding support for bonus content

v1.0.4

• Telegram Notifications
  Integration to receive notifications via telegram when disc finishes ripping. In AutoRipper settings window, click ‘Setup Telegram Notications’ for instructions on setup.

• Filebot fixes
  Added fallback to go back to AutoRipper‘s default renaming/moving in the event of Filebot Errors. Prevents temp files from being deleted when movement fails.
  Fixed code that allowed some combinations of settings to not honor the ‘Skip Filebot Rename’ setting

  Added more info fields to include Title, Length, File Size, Resolution, Framerate, Chapters, # of Audio Tracks, # of Subtitle Tracks, Segments, and Comments

v1.0.3

• Drive Busy Detection:
  Marks disc drive as “busy” when opening a second window while you are ripping a disc

• Improved File Monitoring:
  Ripping progress is more accurate and patient with slow discs or drives, so you’ll see better progress updates and fewer stuck progress bars.

• Added the option to rip bonus features
  After you press start, it will scan your disc then prompt you to select which main titles to rip, then it will prompt you to select any extras if desired. The format for extras is:
  Movies: “\Movie Title (Year)\Extras\Movie Title (Year) - Extra 00.mkv”
  TV Shows: “\TV Title\Season 0\Extras\TV Title S00 D0 - Extra 00.mkv”

• Manual Title Selection:
  You can now choose which files to rip instead of AutoRipper automatically ripping it’s selections. It will still auto select the correct titles, but this acts as a failsafe in case it grabs the wrong titles and allows you to double check it before it starts the process.

• Fixed custom Handbrake presets not working
  Added --preset-import-file flag to handbrake commands in order for it to properly load custom presets before transcoding.

• More Reliable Queue System:
  The queue for transcoding jobs is more robust, and your files won’t disappear or get skipped if you restart the program or have multiple things happening at once.

• Added Clear Queue button
  Added button in the UI to clear completed files from the queue in order to clean it up.
  Note: this does not clear files that still need transcoded or in progress.

• Bug Fixes and Improvements:
  Lots of small fixes to make AutoRipper more reliable, like better handling of slow scans and more helpful progress messages.

v1.0.2

• Transcode Queue List
  When “Queue Transcodes” setting enabled, files being processed by handbrake one at a time will be displayed in the transcode queue allowing you to see what has been transcoded/what’s up next.

v1.0.1

• License Key System
  Added license key/update system to AutoRipper. Gives users the ability to purchase a lifetime license key, check for updates within the AutoRipper app. When a new update is available, users will be prompted to download it when first launching AutoRipper, alternatively you can press “Check For Updates” in the AutoRipper settings menu.

• Transcode Queue System
  Added the option to queue transcodes and process with Handbrake one at a time, rather than running infinite amounts of transcoders at once and save on CPU usage. Useful for ripping large batches.

v1.0.0

• Initial AutoRipper Release
  First release of AutoRipper
