General Info

This application runs the Backend Server, which contains the core logic to Automate Ripping, and Encoding a DVD or CD to a target location. Uses the Makemkv-cli 3rd Party API to rip a disc title once detected.

It keeps track of jobs via job-files, which include source-device ID's, media ID's and job ID's. Also keeps track of if the job is ripped or encoded for example.

This is Still work in progress.
