ROKURIPPER(1)

NAME
roku-ripper - Converts video content to Roku format seemlessly.

SYNOPSIS
Roku-ripper -<-OPTION> [FOLDER|FILE]

DESCRIPTION
Roku-Ripper - Converts video content to Roku format seemlessly.

FEATURES
Roku Ripper has many advanced features to automate the processing of video and formats to be Roku friendly. It has advanced scanning of files to set proper video tagging and folder naming conventions to make other apps slipstream the data such as MediaElch. Format DLNA driven.

COMMAND SWITCH USAGE
Every 'flag' option has a 'no-flag' counterpart with exception of help. Specifying no switch is the same as using the --help switch.

If an option or flag is marked as [XXX], it is optional. Options specified with <XXX> are required. They will only work in combination with the XXX option. Example: roku-ripper --info
Will not work because the format is <REQUIRED> No secondary <required> switch was provided. IE roku-ripper -- info which is actually case insensitive the | separator signifies either, but not both. On the other hand roku-ripper --videotag is just fine without providing a secondary switch. Please see OPTIONS section below. It is case insensitive FORCE=foRce. The application supports SMP (Symantec Multi-processing) up to 16 cores.

Convert

-c , --convert [FILENAME] [force]
    Converts optional [FILENAME] to Roku compatable format Optional is because if you do not specify a file will convert all files supported currently in the folder you are in [force] option will force roku-ripper to convert audio and video Current formats mkv, avi, mp4, 4v, mpg, mpeg, mts, wmv, vob, 3gp, flv, movm, webm

    Example roku-ripper --convert The.Bone.Collector.1999.avi. Will convert an AVI container to a Roku compatable format.

INFO

-i , --info <FILENAME>
    Displays Video information for a required <FILENAME>. Example roku-ripper -i Apocalypse Now 1979.mp4 Will pull tons of data on the video file you ask. It is a requirement not optional. Retrieving media info for: Apocalypse Now 1979.mp4

Merge

-m , --merge [FILENAMES]
    Yes it is [Optional] if it detects PART 1, 2, 3 it will merge them into one file. Example:Roku-ripper -m file1 file2 file3

Recursive

-r , --recursive
    Makes Roku Ripper scan all subfolders in your current path through all subfolders looking for all supported formats and converts them in place to Roku format. Removing the old file after verifying success. I highly suggest making a backup of the videos you are processing. The optional [rename] switch will rename the file to the name of the subfolder the file was found in. Example: Roku-ripper --recursive rename

Version

-v , --version
    Display version number & exits

Videotag

-V , --videotag
    Scans and moves movie files sets folder names renames apropriately. Scans for nfo's and sets cover file per folder recursively and exits. Example Roku-ripper --videotag

A MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR
Who reads these man pages anyways? The entire purpose for me taking on this project is so I could lose a few of my jobs. Repository management and a few programming tasks in which it currently automates. I would love nothing more then to say my goal is for Roku-Ripper to function to the point where 0 errors and 0 warnings get through. Time however, is not and has never been on my side. I have a slew of other projects going on and I am but one Mahn. I hope you enjoy the software. Feel free to send me a beer.

This man page was written and is maintained by TheeMahn, it too has been "RepoStormed"
Lintian error free you can count on it ;)
