First public release of YLR-Auto, a Linux desktop companion for MakeMKV. It shows what MakeMKV and your optical drives are doing, then files finished rips into Jellyfin libraries, with names and posters from TMDb. MakeMKV is a separate program and is not included.

Install

Debian 13, Ubuntu 24.04 or newer:

sudo apt install ./ylr-auto_1.0.0_all.deb

Other x86-64 distributions:

chmod +x YLR-Auto-1.0.0-x86_64.AppImage
./YLR-Auto-1.0.0-x86_64.AppImage

Highlights

  • Live status for each MakeMKV instance and drive, from the tray, with notifications.
  • Optional automatic filing for films that match exactly one TMDb entry by name and runtime. Unattended filing never deletes a file.
  • Detection of cancelled or failed rips, which are never filed automatically.
  • VSCodium-style dark grey theme, with an option to follow the system theme.

Known limits

  • MakeMKV only shows a percentage while minimised, and only on X11. Otherwise YLR-Auto shows data written and speed.
  • Both packages have been tested only on Debian 13. Ubuntu 24.04 meets the .deb's version requirements, but has not been tested.
  • The AppImage uses software rendering.
  • Automatic filing has no undo, and can be turned off in Settings.

See the README for setup, and the changelog.
