Find DVD using command line

[aaron50]

Hi All,

i just installed ubuntu 14.04 using my optical drive. I inserted a dvd into it, how do I find that dvd from the command line? This is a headless server and I am trying to write a bash scrip to detect my dvd. My script was


if [ $ID_CDROM_MEDIA_DVD" == "" ]
then
echo "No DVD detected" >> /etc/udev/rules.d/DetermineMediaType.log
else
echo "DVD detected" >> /etc/udev/rules.d/DetermineMediaType.log
fi
exit 0

this code returns "no dvd detected" even though there is a dvd in my drive.

i now am manually trying to see if I can see the dvd in a folder but my /media/cdrom is empty, where is my dvd stored? I am completely new to ubuntu so I am not sure if I have to mount (not quite sure what this means) it or something first to see the dvd, but like I said I know the drive works because I installed ubuntu from the drive. Thanks for any help.

[sudodus]

I think this command will find it, it is often /dev/sr0 in Ubuntu systems, might be another number than zero, and devices are listed with links in /dev/disk/by-id


ls -l /dev/disk/by-id| grep sr[0-9]$|tr -s ' ' ' '|cut -d ' ' -f 9,11 |sort -k2|grep -e \^a -e \^u|sed 's#../..#/dev#'
ata-HL-DT-STDVD+-RW_GSA-H21L /dev/sr0

Edit: I realize that you want not only to check that the DVD drive is recognized, but if there is a disk inserted.

The command cdir can do that for cd disks


cdir -sd /dev/sr0
cdir -vd /dev/sr0

See
man cdtool

And for DVD disks you can use dvd+rw-mediainfo


dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/sr0

See
man dvd+rw-mediainfo

And you can use the response of those commands to identify what is in the DVD drive.

[mc4man]

where is my dvd stored?
Not sure about if a server is any different but currently on desktops the filesystem on a dvd is automounted to /media/<username>/volume_label
You could override that in fstab if desired, ex. (using a new created folder - cdrom0 & assuming drive is /dev/sr0

sudo mkdir -p /etc/cdrom0

Then in fstab a new line

/dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0

[aaron50]

Thank you for those responses. I put this into my fdisk
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0

then mounted the drive and I can see the dvd in the drive /media/cdrom. When I run blkid i see this

/dev/sr0: LABEL="Name of movie" TYPE="udf"

not sure what udf is, but I can see the dvd. Now I need some time of identifier for my if statement in my bash code to see if there is a dvd in the drive. This is not working

If ["$ID_CDROM_MEDIA_DVD" == "" ]

what needs to go in my if statement to say if there is a dvd in the drive or not. I tried if blkid /dev/sr0:TYPE = "udf" but nothing happened. It skipped the entire statement. Thanks for any help.

[mc4man]

Not too sure you needed the fstab, just mentioned in case you needed a known location for whatever it is you want done.
Maybe look at using mount command somehow -

mount -t udf
will produce output of device & location if a dvd is mounted (or at least most dvd's ???), nothing if not found.

[aaron50]

Well, I am not quite sure how to implement this into my bash code. Maybe if I explained my overall goal that would help you. I am trying to create a bash script that I will run when I put a disc into the cdrom. The script will output a log file indicating if there is a disc in the tray and if the disc in the tray is a dvd. The overall goal is that if there is a dvd in the tray I will fire off a script that will rip the dvd and store it on my hard drive. I think I have the script that will rip the dvd, but I need the bash script here to detect the disc and determine if it a dvd and kick off the script to rip the dvd. Thanks again for all of your help.

[sudodus]

You can test what is in the drive with


dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/sr0

and depending on the result start the job or not. Either use the text output or the exit code. Maybe it is easiest with the exit code (0 if a DVD inserted).



#!/bin/bash

dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/sr0
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
echo "DVD detected" >> /etc/udev/rules.d/DetermineMediaType.log
echo "do the job"
else
echo "No DVD detected" >> /etc/udev/rules.d/DetermineMediaType.log
fi


But you should also check if /dev/sr0 is the correct device name (see post #2). You can probably do that once (for each computer).

Edit: If you don't want the output to the screen, redirect it to /dev/null

[aaron50]

That worked!! Thank you so much. Now I need to try to fix my dvd rip code, Ha. Maybe you know something about this?

Here is my script:


#!/usr/bin/env sh

DVD="!1"
HANDBRAKE=HandBrakeCLI
LOG="logger -p daemon.info -t ripdvd.sh

OUTDIR="/home/amotto11/media/movies/"

function beep_success() { beep -f 750 -l 80 -r 5 -D 20
}


function beep_failure() {
beep -f 200 -l 900
}


function dvdrip() {
$LOG "Beginning rip of $DVD"
local LABEL=`file -s "$DVD" | cut -f 2- -d "'" | cut -f 1 -d "'" | sed -e 's/ *$//'`
$LOG "$DVD contains $LABEL"
$LOG $HANDBRAKE --verbose 9 --input "$DVD" --output "$OUTDIR/$LABEL.mkv"
$HANDBRAKE --verbose 9 --input "$DVD" --output "$OUTDIR/$LABEL.mkv" 2>&1 > $OUTDIR/HandBrake.log
local STATUS="$?"
$LOG "Finished importing $LABEL from $DVD (status = $STATUS)"
return $STATUS
}


if dvdrip; then
beep_success
else
beep_failure
fi


eject



The error I am getting is

/usr/bin/ripdvd.sh: 13: /usr/bin/ripdvd.sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected


when I change the first line to #!/usr/bin/env bash, I am getting these errors

/usr/bin/ripdvd.sh: line 21: Syntax error near unexpected token '('
/usr/bin/ripdvd.sh: line 21: 'function dvdrip() {'

any suggestions are greatly appretiated. Thanks

[sudodus]

function dvdrip() {

In bash scripts (which I know best), functions are not written with (). I don't know about sh, but try like this


function dvdrip {

[dave131]

I think you're missing an ending quote here:

#!/usr/bin/env sh

DVD="!1"
HANDBRAKE=HandBrakeCLI
LOG="logger -p daemon.info -t ripdvd.sh" <--

[aaron50]

Dave,

I am sorry I am doing this on a headless machine, hence the beeps as a notification, so I had to retype the code. That line actually reads


LOG="logger -p daemon.info -t ripdvd.sh --"

sudodus,

i tried that that and now I am getting a lot more errors when I run sudo bash /usr/bin/ripdvd.sh

/usr/bin/ripdvd.sh: line 21: function: command not found
/usr/bin/ripdvd.sh: line 23: local: can only be used in a function

I am an ubuntu newbie, so here is the tutorial I am following if your wondering http://www.phillomath.com/node/4

thank you so much again!

[sudodus]

I checked, and in sh, function declarations have (), but there must be a space before and after (), so


function dvdrip() {

should be


function dvdrip () {

I suggest that you stay in sh, because there are several other things that differ too (and create problems).

[aaron50]

Okay I put the () in with space on each side and changed the first line to #!/usr/bin/env sh

I'm running it like this
amotto11@LaptopMediaServer: /usr/bin$ ./ripdvd.sh

im getting the error of
./ripdvd.sh: 13: ./ripdvd.sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

[sudodus]

You must show the current script. Otherwise we can only guess what is in line 13. Maybe another instance of () without a space before it.

[aaron50]

Okay here is the script:


#!/usr/bin/env sh

# Acknowledge that we are starting
beep -f 1400 -l 250


DVD="$1"
HANDBRAKE=HandBrakeCLI
LOG="logger -p daemon.info -t ripdvd.sh --"


#Change this to reflect where you store your dvd rips
OUTDIR="/home/amotto11/media/movies/"


function beep_success () {
beep -f 750 -l 80 -r 5 -D 20
}


function beep_failure () {
beep -f 200 -l 900
}


fuction dvdrip () {
$LOG "Beginning rip of $DVD"
local LABEL=`file -s "$DVD" | cut -f 2- -d "'" | cut -f 1 -d "'" | sed -e's/ *$//'`
$LOG "$DVD contains $LABEL"
$LOG $HANDBRAKE --verbose 9 --input "$DVD" --output "$OUTDIR/$LABEL.mkv"
$HANDBRAKE --verbose 9 --input "$DVD" --output "$OUTDIR/$LABEL.mkv" 2>&1 > $OUTDIR/HandBrake.log
local STATUS="$?"
$LOG "Finished importing $LABEL from $DVD (status = $STATUS)"
return $STATUS
}


if dvdrip; then
beep_success
else
beep_failure
fi


eject

and here is the output


amotto11@LaptopMediaServer:~$ cd /usr/bin/amotto11@LaptopMediaServer:/usr/bin$ ./ripdvd.sh
./ripdvd.sh: 13: ./ripdvd.sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

[sudodus]

fuction dvdrip
n is missing

[aaron50]

I'm not quite sure I understand what your saying. I'm sorry if it's quite obvious and don't see it. Thanks

[mc4man]

I'm not quite sure I understand what your saying. I'm sorry if it's quite obvious and don't see it. Thanks

He meant your missing an n in fuction dvdrip () {
Your script works ok here started manually though I'd note 2 things -
I'd probably remove the fstab entry as eject may not work as a user otherwise
You need to use the ppa version of handbrake or the conversion will fail as the repo libav source is not built with libfaac support
(- https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg1198390.html

Edit: by working I meant to add using bash, not sh (after fixing missing n

[dave131]

The missing "n" is in the word "function" for dvdrip - you show " fuction dvdrip () { " instead of " function dvdrip () { " if you didn't see it.

[mc4man]

You also should look at the handbrake cli options as your current HandBrakeCLI command will produce pretty low quality encodes
https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CLIGuide

[aaron50]

I have updated my script to add the n in function:


#!/usr/bin/env sh

# Acknowledge that we are starting
beep -f 1400 -l 250




DVD="$1"
HANDBRAKE=HandBrakeCLI
LOG="logger -p daemon.info -t ripdvd.sh --"

function beep_success () {

function beep_failure () {
beep -f 200 -l 900
}


function dvdrip () {
$LOG "Beginning rip of $DVD"
local LABEL=`file -s "$DVD" | cut -f 2- -d "'" | cut -f 1 -d "'" | sed -e's/ *$//'`

local STATUS="$?"
$LOG "Finished importing $LABEL from $DVD (status = $STATUS)"
return $STATUS
}


if dvdrip; then
beep_success
else
beep_failure
fi


eject

but I am still getting an error


amotto11@LaptopMediaServer:~$ cd /usr/bin/amotto11@LaptopMediaServer:/usr/bin$ ./ripdvd.sh ./ripdvd.sh: 13: ./ripdvd.sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
amotto11@LaptopMediaServer:/usr/bin$

Also I removed the fstab code that I had input.

mc4man,
i am not quite sure I understand what your saying in you post about the ppa version of handbrake. I am sorry, this is all pretty new to me.
when I ran the code in bash I got the following and the disc ejected. No beeps and nothing in /home/amotto11/media/movies/HandBrake.log

amotto11@LaptopMediaServer:~$ cd /usr/bin/amotto11@LaptopMediaServer:/usr/bin$ sudo bash ./ripdvd.sh Missing input device. Run HandBrakeCLI --help for syntax
amotto11@LaptopMediaServer:/usr/bin$

as far as your link https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg1198390.html I don't know where the /test/test file is located. Thanks

[mc4man]

Well as I can only comment on this as seen on a desktop install maybe only a little value.

As far as bash vs. dash, the script works with bash. Otherwise see the same error as did someone commenting in the blog where you got the script. That users 'solution' to "ripdvd.sh: 13: ./ripdvd.sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected" makes no sense or effect here. (he/she says removing the space here fixed, X is the space
--output "$OUTDIR/$LABEL.mkv"X2>&1
The only thing here that does is add a 2 to file extension, ie. .mkv2

If you were manually testing then it's - <script> <device> so for example here the script is named ripdvd & it's in a bin folder so -
:~$ ripdvd /dev/sr0
That works fine

As far as handbrake -
The repo version uses system shared libav libraires so among other issues it can't encode audio to aac as Hb uses libaac & the repo libav does not. (hence that bug report I linked

The ppa builds use their own ffmpeg libs & are really the only good handbrake builds.
There aren't any stable releases for 14.04 in the ppa so you need to use the snapshot ppa which may work fine or may not, depends on the day I guess.
For instance yesterdays would not use the high profile preset, todays build does. (6262svn
ppa is here -
https://launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/ubuntu/handbrake-snapshots

As far as the script & Hb -
The hb command in the script will just encode to MPEG-4 Visual which is pretty bad unless your screen is 5" or so. I haven't spent much time with hb so don't know the ins or out, some of the presets seem ok.
(to see them run -
HandBrakeCLI -z

The Normal is ok but no ac3, only aac stereo.
The High Profile is pretty good as is AppleTV 3, Id go with the former.
I'd assume one could use a preset & override any individual parameter ??

So here the script line here for hb-

$HANDBRAKE --verbose 9 --input "$DVD" --output "$OUTDIR/$LABEL.mkv" --preset="High Profile" 2>&1 > $OUTDIR/HandBrake.log

As far as beep -
doesn't produce any sound here on desktop, doesn't cause any error, irrelevant..

In the blog they were using halevt to detect & pass device to the script, that's no longer avail. so I gather that's the real purpose of this thread. In this case as I'm on a desktop install so can't really help,...
(on a desktop install one can simply set dvd insertion to autorun the script

[aaron50]

Mc4man,

so I tried to run the script like you said with the first line as #!/usr/bin/env and it gave me the line 13 error again, so I changed the first line to end in bash. Have no idea what the difference is, I thought the # commented out the line, so not quite sure why it let the code run as bash. Here is the script that I used, I used your suggestion and change the handbrake line below as well:


#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Acknowledge that we are starting
beep -f 1400 -l 250


DVD="$1"
HANDBRAKE=HandBrakeCLI
LOG="logger -p daemon.info -t ripdvd.sh --"


#Change this to reflect where you store your dvd rips
OUTDIR="/home/amotto11/media/movies/"


function beep_success () {
beep -f 750 -l 80 -r 5 -D 20
}


function beep_failure () {
beep -f 200 -l 900
}


function dvdrip () {
$LOG "Beginning rip of $DVD"
local LABEL=`file -s "$DVD" | cut -f 2- -d "'" | cut -f 1 -d "'" | sed -e's/ *$//'`
$LOG "$DVD contains $LABEL"
$LOG $HANDBRAKE --verbose 9 --input "$DVD" --output "$OUTDIR/$LABEL.mkv"
$HANDBRAKE --verbose 9 --input "$DVD" --output "$OUTDIR/$LABEL.mkv" --preset="High Profile" 2>&1 > $OUTDIR/HandBrake.log
local STATUS="$?"
$LOG "Finished importing $LABEL from $DVD (status = $STATUS)"
return $STATUS
}


if dvdrip; then
beep_success
else
beep_failure
fi


eject

as far as the ppa, when I first installed handbrake I ran this one

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/apps
now I don't know how to remove it or if that matters, but I ran your suggestion

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-snapshots
like I said I don't know if I have to remove the first one, but I didn't.

then I ran the code as you suggested, not changing the test/test.c file at all. The code "worked" somewhat. It created a log file and the movie.mkv. This all happened in 10sec so I know it didn't fully download, and the movie didn't play on anything when I accessed it from my file sharer, samba and was only a couple of kb. When I did run the script I noticed through the output that there were some errors. Unfortunately I can't execute the code remotely, it only goes so far then quits and ejects, when I run it on the server itself it goes through many steps, here is what it says when I run it remotely

when I run from the server the few errors I can still see on the screen are here:

could this have something to do with the workaround you were talking about? We're is the test/test.c file that other link was referring to.

[steeldriver]

dev/sr0 is not the same thing as /dev/sr0 (unless you are running this from / of course - which you're not)

Also I'm not sure why you need to use anything other than the simple shebang #!/bin/bash - using #!/usr/bin/env is only usually necessary for portability across systems where the interpreter might be in different places, and afaik bash is pretty much always going to be in /bin (unless you are running some local version of bash?)

[aaron50]

I updated the code to be #!/bin/bash and ran sudo ripdvd.sh /dev/sr0

I am still getting some errors and i noticed when the output was going by about 3-4 red lines in addition to the errors that i had before. I cant tell what these are and i cant go back to see them. I tried ****+pgup, but i can't go up that far. Here is what the log says when the script is done and it creates it in /home/amotto11/media/movies/HandBrake.log

Im not sure what i am doing wrong. The Movie it outputs is only about 1Kb or so, obviously as the log says there was no task completed. Thanks for your continued help.

Edit: here is the red part of the output from a picture from my ipad.

[steeldriver]

Sorry I don't know anything about handbrake, however it seems odd to me that it would accept the raw block device (i.e. /dev/sr0) as its input - normally, you would need to mount the device somewhere in the filesystem, and give the mountpoint to your application

[aaron50]

I am not sure, I may need to mount it first, but from the website I was following it didn't look like they did.

[mc4man]

What package of handbrake are you using?
The Ubuntu repo version will fail because of no faac support. I guess if using then you'll need to prevent hb from doing an aac track. As mentioned only the ppa builds are any good.

The red lines aren't important (I don't believe) as they only are messages about the ac3 tracks, I marked some below.

Note - handbrake isn't 'accepting the raw block device', the script is... (though it appears to pass along to hb

As far as website - they were using halvert to allow autorun of headless server.
(- I assume you have no means to set an autorun on dvd insertion like here in a desktop install?

[aaron50]

This is the website that I used to download handbrake since the original tutorial was not set up for 14.04. Here is the site I used http://www.noobslab.com/2013/12/handbrake-video-converter-for.html?m=1

Terminal Commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/apps
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install handbrake-gtk handbrake-cli
But now I have downloaded the repository that was suggested on here, so I dont know how to take the noobslolab one off If I need to.

Can you tell me if I'm using the correct version of handbrake and what I need to do to make it work. Thank you again for all your help.

Edit: my end goal is the get it to authoring upon inserting the disk. I have researched many ways to do this, but I have to make the script work be for I can auto run it. How were you able to capture the whole output? I tried and it only let me go back so many lines. If I could capture it that may help you. I tried to video it, but the forum doesn't allow files that large to be uploaded.

[dave131]

I think there may be a couple of steps to get back to a clean point before installing from the stebbins ppa:

(1) *IF* you have already added the stebbins ppa:

sudo apt-get purge handbrake-gtk handbrake-cli (the handbrake-cli might not be found)
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:whatever/ppa (substitute the stebbins ppa in this line)

(2) Try again to clear the original ppa

sudo apt-get purge handbrake-gtk handbrake-cli (these might not be found at all now and that's okay)

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:noobslab/apps

(3) Now go back and add the stebbins ppa and install from there

I found the add-apt-repository --remove in another post so I hope it does work.

Also - I noticed that in your output you were getting messages about the region code - it may be that the defaulted region code doesn't allow actually processing the DVD.

Also - the screen capture of the red error lines also shows read errors on the media prior to those errors.

To dump the output to a file so you can review it, I *think* you could test by adding > somefilename - I don't know for sure but it might put all the messages that would otherwise be echoed to the console in to that file instead.

Thank you dave. I have removed both repositories and handbrake like you said, the repositories removed with that line. Then I redownloaded the stebbins repository and handbrake gtk and cli. When I get home tonight I will run the script again and try to put something in it to record the output like you were suggesting. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks

[aaron50]

Well, I tried to re run the script and the same thing is happening. Runs, 5 sec later disc pops out and the log says the same thing and the "movie" is super small. I tried to put >some file name, in my script to capture the output! but I have no idea where to put it. Can you help me on where to put the notation to capture the output in a log. Thanks

[mc4man]

If you can just run a command then maybe try this, adjust blue as needed -

HandBrakeCLI --input /dev/sr0 --preset="High Profile" --output 1.mkv 2>&1 |tee -a /path/to/hb.log

That should log from the very start of hb_init:

[aaron50]

I put your code in the command line and this is the entire output that i received, Thanks for the help.

libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable
run this - (assumes libdvdread4 is installed which it appears to be

sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
That will install libdvdcss2 which is needed for access & decrypting css

Edit: you likely don't need/want to run your dvd ripping script as root.

I'm curious to see how this all works out - I have a Raspberry Pi I'm using as a media center, but I want to move that over to an Ubuntu based headless server (*if* I can find stuff for a complete novice to get going with a server). Having a script like this would allow me to rip DVD's with no intervention other than putting the DVD in the drive. This would be great for me.

I wondered about the css stuff myself - would this also cause the errors kicking out about the region code of the DVD? (perhaps those errors aren't fatal?)

There could be some discs that have issue when there is no region set on a drive so it should be set *once*.
Unlicensed players/apps don't enforce region coding so for example having a drive set to region 1 won't prevent accessing a disc that's another region.
(the exception there is most Matshita laptop drives which do enforce region coding.

Thank you. I'll move back to the sidelines and observe some more now.

Well, I have an update. I ran your suggestion then updated ubuntu, then upgraded. I then ran the script and it looks to be running successfully. As you could tell this is a 1 core laptop, so not much power. It looks like it is ripping chapter 3 now and it has been about 40 minutes. When the script finishes I will let you know if it worked and how the quality is.

Dave, if I can create a headless server then I am sure you can. Give it a try! I have set mine up with samba, ps3mediaserver, and hopefully the ripping capability. My next tackle after this is to get xbmc to run headless. In the end I hope to have a really nice headless home server that can act like a personal cloud outside the house as well, then go and mimic the same thing on a machine I build that is much more powerful.

[dave131]

When this is indeed all working for you, would you mind:

- posting back the final version of the script
- posting back what steps where needed to set it up - location, permissions, where in what system folder/file to get this to "auto-run" when a DVD is inserted, etc.

I would greatly appreciate that so I can try to do the same thing, and once that works I can keep it for when I do my server.

You are doing exactly what I want to: a headless server to be used for local storage (in my case, an "in-house" cloud), used as a media server as well - with XBMC.

It worked, streams perfectly from my old laptop. I can even skip to any part of the movie with no lag!! Took a long time to download, but there were 48 chapters in that movie. I can't work on it this weekend, but I would like to know if what i have is the best quality i can get. It looks great now and sounds great, but i was wondering if there is even better. Space is not an issue, so if you know of anything that would be great. Also does it only use mkv as the output or is this something i can configure? Thanks for all the help!!

Dave, i will not be able to work on it this weekend, but i will definitely post my scripts late Sunday night. Thanks to everyone once again!! I can also give you helpful links to tutorials about samba and PS3 mediaserver to get you a start on your server.

[aaron50]

Dave,

Here is my code as it sits right now. Like i said it might change if i can find a better quality or something to that matter. I also will probably not keep creating a log file as well.

Thank you VERY much!! It is greatly appreciated!

I can post everything I did if you would like? it may be hard to follow from the forum. Let me know
