Re: MY HDA Project: Automatic Disc Detection, Ripping & Enco

After muddling around in the script for a while, I finally figured out what was broken with Qencode. Yes, I realize it's 2 years old.

As per the following change in HandBrakeCLI, the -L option was replaced with --main-feature, making Qencode fail. I've attached the updated script and now everything appears to be working as expected (remove the .txt extension before use).

Change: https://trac.handbrake.fr/changeset/3268

I hope this helps someone out there!

Quick question: When you insert a media disk, does it automatically start ripping or does it wait for the user to click 'OK'?
The way it's coded and the way flickeringsight puts it in their post, a dialog is displayed for 15 seconds allowing the user to cancel the rip, and if no action is taken, it automatically starts ripping.

Another thing to mention: if you don't have X installed on your HDA, the detectdisc script will error out on the Zenity call, so you need to comment it out (no need for the call anyway if you're running the box headless).

Is this something we should add to the wiki? If so, we would appreciate it if you could add it. We are trying to use that as our primary source of documentation when ever possible.

Yeah, I was just thinking about transferring it over there. I'm having issues with udev at the moment (systemctl isn't working and is erroring out with "Failed to get D-Bus connection: Failed to connect to socket /org/freedesktop/systemd1/private: Connection refused"), and since F14 is so old I'm thinking of biting the bullet and moving over to Ubuntu (which I prefer over Fedora anyway).

Yea that might be a good idea, or at least try a Ubuntu VM and see how things work.
