- using wireless remote
- all media on mounted USB share (Samba installed so I can access across home network eg configured as a NAS also)
- using the Quartz skin currently
- All music, video, movies, photos cataloged
We have loads of CDs in the attic not currently on the media drive, so i thought - 'let the ripping begin' ;-)
Strange however that XBMC baulked at ripping discs to .mp3 with the LAME encoder.
I have PuTTY set up so I can look around on a terminal level whilst XBMC is running, and also FileZilla to give me a nice GUI representation of the directories and files.
It seemed XBMC was creating the correct folder structure for my rip, but creating a 0 size file.
A fair amount (which is why I'm blogging this) of googling, and I found a reference to the fact that the native install of Ubuntu (which XBCM live runs on) does not have the lame endoer installed!
That'll be it then.
A quick sudo apt-get install lame at the terminal and....
...yeah - its ripping... :o))
(I say its ripping, and it is trying to.... me thinks need a less prehistoric DVD drive...:)
