Ripping seperately from ImportBuddy

[CuriousRipper]

I ripped a series before downloading ImportBuddy. When adding the series, I noticed there was an option to launch MakeMKV and rip within ImportBuddy and another one to skip. So I chose skip. I now get an error message

No companion log file found for 'path-to-discdb/data/series/RWBY
(2013)/2021-volume-8-BD-US/disc01-summary.txt'

Note. I've replaced the actual path with path-to-discdb
Is this an issue? Am I still able to submit or is it skipping important stuff? Should I re-rip the disks so it has the log file?

ImportBuddy doesn't actually rip the discs - it just uses MakeMkv to make a log of the contents of the disc. This log file (name discXX.txt in the release directory) is required to submit data. So in order to complete your process you would have to go through each disc in the set and run something like:

& 'C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\makemkvcon.exe' --minlength=0 --robot info disc:0 > disc01.txt

(You might need to adjust paths for your system)

where you change the file name for each disc.

In the end, each disc should have 3 files in the release directory:

discxx.txt - the MakeMkv log file
discxx-summary.txt - the file that specifies what items are on the disc
discxx.json - contains some metadata for the disc and the combined results of running 'finalize' in ImportBuddy for that release

Hope this helps

Thanks. This got me that file, but I still seem to be missing the content hash in the discXX.json files. Do I need to generate this separately with makemkv?
