Disc Formats

Discarr supports the following input formats:

VIDEO_TS (DVD)

Standard DVD file structure. Discarr reads IFO files to extract title, chapter, and duration information.

/media/disc/
└── VIDEO_TS/
    ├── VIDEO_TS.IFO
    ├── VTS_01_0.IFO
    ├── VTS_01_0.VOB
    ├── VTS_01_1.VOB
    └── ...

Multi-episode discs: Discarr reads chapter boundaries from IFO data to identify individual episodes within a single title. You can split a title into multiple episodes during the mapping step.

BDMV (Blu-ray)

Standard Blu-ray structure. Discarr reads CLPI (clip info) and MPLS (playlist) files for title enumeration.

/media/disc/
└── BDMV/
    ├── BACKUP/
    ├── CERTIFICATE/
    ├── CLIPINF/
    ├── MOVIEOBJ.BDM
    ├── STREAM/
    └── ...

ISO

Disc image files. Discarr mounts the ISO in memory and scans the inner structure (VIDEO_TS or BDMV).

/media/disc.iso

libdvdcss for encrypted DVDs

CSS-encrypted DVD ISOs require libdvdcss to be installed. The native installer handles this. The Docker image includes libdvdcss.

Multi-disc sets

Discarr handles multi-disc sets by scanning each disc directory separately. Map each disc in sequence — the episode counter picks up where the previous disc left off.

Scan path tips

• Pass the directory containing VIDEO_TS or BDMV, not the inner directory itself
• For ISOs, pass the full .iso file path
• Symlinks are followed
