i'm trying to make it easy for my wife to rip audio cd's onto our server for playing through xbmc. currently i do them all on the server and rescan on the box. i tried a couple of days ago using the xbox to rip a cd and it worked well although using vorbis it was painfully slow. the point it you can do this in the living room using only the remote control - ideal. however, when i try to edit xboxmediacentre.xml to redefine the cddarippath to an smb share (the location i put rips on the server) it doesn't seem to want to start ripping cd's? i tried it with the same cd i got last time just to make sure everything is the same.
here's my entry from xboxmediacentre.xml
smb://mylogin:mypass@192.168.60.3/filestore_04/var4/music/xboxripped/
the directory does already exist - it's currently empy as i created it for use here.
any ideas if this is a limitation of the path or if it's something else.
tia - lyndon.afaik only local paths (xbox hdd) are allowed for ripping as of yet.:bump:thanks for the quick reply - :(i'll try this later. the code appears to support ripping to a remote location. (obviously) the user credentials need to have write access to the location to create both directories and files.#If you have any other info about this subject , Please add it free.# |
