Discarr¶
Scan disc rips. Map titles. Queue HEVC encodes. Notify Sonarr and Radarr when done.
Discarr is a self-hosted web UI that bridges disc ripping (VIDEO_TS / BDMV / ISO) into Sonarr and Radarr. Point it at a disc directory, map each title to the right episode or movie, and it handles the encode queue and arr notification.

Features¶
- Disc scanning — detects VIDEO_TS, BDMV, multi-disc, and ISO structures automatically
- IFO chapter extraction — reads DVD structure to split multi-episode discs correctly
- Episode/movie mapping — browser UI maps disc titles to Sonarr episodes or Radarr movies
- HEVC encode queue — dispatches ffmpeg or HandBrake jobs locally or over SSH
- Arr notification — custom script hooks notify on import, file delete, or completion
- qBittorrent integration — optional hook triggers a scan on torrent completion
- Tdarr integration — optional ping to Tdarr after encode completes
- Persistent job queue — survives restarts; jobs resume automatically
- No npm dependencies — pure Node.js built-ins only
