# 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.
---
## How it works
```
Disc rip (MakeMKV / HandBrake)
Discarr web UI
┌─────────────────────────────┐
│ 1. Scan disc structure │
│ 2. Map titles → arr items │
│ 3. Queue HEVC encode │
│ 4. Notify Sonarr / Radarr │
└─────────────────────────────┘
Sonarr / Radarr import
```
## 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
## Requirements
| Dependency | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Node.js 18+ | Yes | Runtime |
| ffmpeg + ffprobe | Yes | Disc scanning, encode dispatch |
| HandBrake CLI | Recommended | HEVC encoding (falls back to ffmpeg) |
| libdvdcss | Recommended | CSS-encrypted DVD decryption |
| libdvdread + libdvdnav | Yes (DVD) | DVD structure reading |
