I actually recommend using this when you make backups of your DVDs. This is useful for shows where the DVD order is different to the TV order.

So long as it can find 'Sx圎yy' (for season x episode y), it assumes the show's title is to the left, and ignores anything to the right.

Plus this saves storage space.Ĭonfiguration is compulsory, and goes into ~/.gondola The assumption is that the user ripped their original from their DVD so doesn't care to lose it. Gondola, after transcoding to HLS, removes the source file.You will likely find it to be an order of magnitude faster if you use an old laptop, but it'll be noisier / use more electricity. This is why I recommend this for movies you'll watch over and over again, eg your kids' movies. Eg I tried a 2-hour 1080p movie, and my Chip took 40 hours to transcode it.

Pre-processing can take a very long time eg overnight on a Chip, so the recommended use case for this is to make backups of DVDs that you're likely to watch more than once.
