Since Plex won't stream video_ts or ISO formats to the iOS app, combined with the numerous complaints I've read about choppy playback of these files, I decided to convert to Mkv format. The vast majority of my library is video_ts folders and iso (as well as img) files ripped from dvds. With the release of Plex/9 and the associated iOS app, I was very excited to try it out (I haven't yet, even though I bought the app). But I know with a bit of guidance, I can do the work.Īll things said, if going via a Windows PC is the only way to do this, I'm good with that as well. I can navigate around (I used to work a lot with Debian 8-9 years ago but haven't touched it since). Problem is I am the furthest thing from being a programmer, and my Linux skills are quite rusty. ) which come close to what I am asking for.

I have seen a few posts on the topic (i.e. also allows me to utilize speed of the "local" 8 hard drives in the RAID set to my advantage versus a single solid state drive over the network. This would just save me running a PC for the task, and removes the latency of the network. I would LOVE it if I could run this on my QNAP (which is a Linux based box - and I've got Python 2.7.0 running on it as well. (this isn't a deal breaker - I've been going in manually and merging the files but would be nice).Ĥ. I want everything to be saved in a single file. I find that MakeMKV converts each VOB to a separate MKV. Within the ISO files are broken out VOB files. Keep all things equal, including subs, titles, etc. is there a way to point MakeMKV to my QNAP over the network and say "if you find an ISO file, convert it to a MKV file and save it in the same location as the source fileĢ. I have been manually converting using MakeMKV, and it works like a charm - but some of the files take up to an hour to convert over the network.ġ.

but the media player I have (currently WD LIVE) doesn't play ISO files. I was hoping to stream the disc's to the TV in the kids playroom.

I recently purchased a QNAP NAS so that I can put them all in one place. I did it because my kids would break or ruin the discs on a regular basis. I backed up all my DVD's there a couple of years ago.
