An automated 5-disc tray robotic media ripping station that streamlines ripping physical media (DVDs, Blu-rays, and CDs), syncing media over the network or cloud via rclone, and cataloging collections in Jellyfin.
Robby is an automated disc loader and ripping system built to eliminate manual disc-swapping. With a motorized 5-disc carousel/tray mechanism, the robot sequentially loads, rips, and unloads physical optical media without manual intervention.
- Batch Processing: 5-disc motorized tray mechanism for unattended queue processing.
- Multi-Format Support: Automated ripping pipeline for DVDs, Blu-rays, and audio CDs.
- Automated Cloud & NAS Sync: Built-in
rcloneworkflows to push completed rips directly to a local NAS or cloud storage (such as Google Drive). - Jellyfin Integration: Automatically organizes folders, tags media, and updates your Jellyfin media library.
