Double-checking still in progress. So far, fixed an issues on 13.2/aarch64, another one on 14-CURRENT/amd64 (yep, didn't upgrade my #FreeBSD test builders to 15-CURRENT yet 🙈) and yet another one on 14-CURRENT/i386.

Now, test builds for 13.2/i386 are running. We will see. Once I'm sure the #Linuxulator version of #ffmpeg builds fine everywhere, I'll finally check #MakeMKV 😎

And now, the *real* dependency monster in my #FreeBSD #Linuxulator userland: #ffmpeg 🙈

That's #Linux port #151 I added, it has *almost* everything enabled that's in the default options of the FreeBSD port. I left out a few things that seemed (too) complex like vulkan ... 🙈

I guess now it's time to double-check the branch on other architectures and other FreeBSD versions first. And then, finally, check whether #MakeMKV will work fine with this!

@meka Well, if you can build them, you can (probably) port them to work natively on #FreeBSD. This is "just" about building the userland for #Linuxulator to support closed-source (or, otherwise "unportable") #Linux apps.

I'm still unsure whether it's a good idea. I was thinking about using #MakeMKV as a PoC, which requires #ffmpeg. Only half way (or less) through with the dependencies for a somewhat "full-featured" ffmpeg and I'm already at 135 commits to my branch 🤯 I certainly won't be able to maintain all the ports needed for this userland all by myself 😉

@jhx I have so many ideas (not only, but also for #FreeBSD), but always too little time 😞

One thing I'd really love to try is to come up with a new set of #linux #ports that don't re-package some dist but instead build from source, using some #GNU cross-toolchain (which *can* be bootstrapped on FreeBSD, BTDT when it was once required for #MakeMKV). In a perfect world, this could maybe enable to create slave-ports of existing FreeBSD ports, building them for /compat/linux instead ... 🤔

Working on this pay period's budget, what should I pay for: #PLEXPass Lifetime, or #MakeMKV? The one I don't buy this pay period, I'll just purchase next pay period.

Picked up a #Libredrive blu-ray drive. Time to see what the devs at #MakeMKV have been up to!

Knives Out - Direct to @plex with #Makemkv

@asg I'm running my mastodon instance! Using the linuxserver/mastodon docker.

If you've got a disc drive you can use the #makemkv docker to rip your movies directly to your #plex library.

#unraid is great for running all your small services you might run standalone on a pi: #octoprint, #pihole, etc

Unraid is also great for deploying virtual machines. My primary desktop and gaming rig is a Win11 vm running on passed through gpu, usb controllers, 20 isolated cpu cores, etc.

Want to Watch Blu-rays in VLC on Ubuntu? You NEED MakeMKV

I wanted to watch Blu-rays in Ubuntu using VLC and an external USB drive, but I couldn't just stick in a disc and hit play. The solution? Install MakeMKV.

@badd_badger so for physical media the picture is much better. DVD's have long been rip-able and although I don't have that many BluRay's I've found #makemkv works really well. I must admit though despite a large digitized collection of media on my NAS we still consume mostly streamed media from #netflix, #amazon, #disney+ and #ytmusic.

Man, I don't think I ever grasped it before, but ripping #BluRays (namely the OG Star Wars and all 12 seasons of The Big Bang Theory) has made me realise why people want sooooooooo much network attached storage these days. 27 discs adds up to around a terabyte in this case! Also, although I'd love it to be open-source, #MakeMKV is fantastic!

Thanks to #linuxlugcast , I tried X2go. It is a remote desktop client/server over #SSH , and I have it on an old laptop that rips DVD/Bluray discs. It's ready handy when I want to select only a handful of content with #MakeMKV

I've been doing a bit more ripping of my DVD collection with #makemkv which seems to do a better job on some of my more troublesome disks. The #SynQuacer is chewing through the 576p25 rips so fast it's hard to keep #handbrake's queue fed.
