MakeMKV gives you a pile of VOB files. Sonarr wants a clean named MKV in the right folder. The gap between those two is always a manual dance. Figure out which season it is, rename it, drop it in the right place, trigger a rescan.

Discarr fills that gap: it's a small Node.js web UI (no npm packages, pure built-ins) that handles the VIDEO_TS / BDMV / ISO → arr import chain.

What it does:

  • Scans disc structure automatically (VIDEO_TS, BDMV, multi-disc, ISO)
  • Reads IFO chapter data to split multi-episode DVD discs correctly
  • Browser UI to map disc titles to the right Sonarr episodes or Radarr movies
  • Queues HEVC encodes via ffmpeg or HandBrake (locally or over SSH to a remote box)
  • Notifies Sonarr/Radarr via custom script hooks on import/delete/completion
  • Optional: qBittorrent hook triggers a scan on torrent completion; Tdarr ping after encode
  • Persistent job queue. restarts resume automatically

Requirements: Node.js 18+, ffmpeg + ffprobe. HandBrake optional. Docker image bundles both plus openssh-client.

Still early, issues and PRs welcome.

Sure, but that takes a lot of time and effort when you have a complicated stack, so it's nice to be able to handle it in two clicks instead of setting up an entire encode queue while cross referencing all my metadata so I get episodes mapped right. Often a series session will take me upward of 30 minutes to set up an encode queue manually. With Discarr, it takes me 30 seconds

Edit: this came out of many attempts to create a single script that could post-process torrents, unpacking archives or converting disk images dynamically. The trouble is that dvd formatting for series follows no standards whatsoever, and really requires a human to map the titles. Discarr automates everything except that, and surfaces the title and episode queues side-by-side to allow quick identification and assignment

    This is all correct and i get it. I was wondering about the VOB part for MakeMKV. Because I never get a VOB Out of MakeMKV.
