Re: [Extension] Audio CD ripping helper

I just wanted to mention that I got some feedback about that extension and I've changed a number of things. I edited the link in the post on page 1 for the file here: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?p=520357#p520357 mederi brought up a number of potential issues(and suggested solutions) and...

Re: [Extension] Audio CD ripping helper

I understand now, I must add all the tracks in my CD into the playlist. You actually just simply click "Media -> Open Disc -> Audio CD" But you can look at the other window where is says "Messages", and it will say something bad in red or green. We did address that concept above...

Re: [Extension] Audio CD ripping helper

For Step 2, what do you mean by viewing empty playlist??? If you want to use this metadata mode, then you should make sure that the playlist will have ONLY the tracks from the cd, when you start the extension(before you start it). If the playlist is empty when you start the extension, then it will ...

Re: [Extension] Audio CD ripping helper

Where is the problem? It doesn't seem to be an accurate problem at that point. Evidently it failed on an earlier attempt, and after trying to restart it again it's hung up in some unknown confusion. The error statement about "only one dialog allowed per extension!" does mean it failed ear...

Re: [Extension] Audio CD ripping helper

I select Audio CD ripping helper OMG.lua in View tab but nothing happens.
You can find out what the problem is if you check the log messages. In the menu: Tools -> Messages - set verbosity to 2. Try to load the extension. There might be some green or red lines.

Re: [Extension] Audio CD ripping helper

So, I was looking at the modification I have and checked it out on a Windows box and see it completely fails. It's the difference with how paths were being handled. I fixed that up. mederi said I should take it to the moon. I figured to maybe just get it pretty far out. He suggested the great 'loads...

Re: [Extension] Audio CD ripping helper

it's too complicated for me. It's not too complicated to use. It's exactly like how mederi created it, except it will use the song titles for filenames automatically. And there is also an extra button to use if you want to save metadata(artist, album, track number) into the song files. And it's lik...

Re: [Extension] Audio CD ripping helper

This is a modified extension I have been using for a few years. I simply took this original script and wanted to be able to use the network populated song names("Allow metadata network access") to be able to create the filenames instead. So this will do the rip and use the song titles for ...

Re: Importing from CD

The names are not on the cd. When we look at it on a computer it appears to be a typical file system that we are used to, but the cd is not actually like that. What we are looking at is some computer generated relationship of the cd content. And if song names are provided it's only because the progr...

Re: Ooops: VLC media player just crashed (even with PC formatted)

I saw a user a month ago that had just received the Windows updates, and one of them broke vlc. Also, the particular update was not a security update and was not needed. Uninstalled that update and fixed the issue. Do you have automatic updates? Then you can tell what update may have caused the prob...

Oh, well great. Just out of curiousity did you happen to try the mpg with vlc? Earlier when you said "seamless" it struck me, because that should not even need to be a point. So I would say now, especially after seeing the batch file command, there's something happening at the end of the d...

Re: Fullscreen troubles...

It should do it. The only thing I can think is that maybe other previously saved settings in vlc are coming into play. I would reset preferences to put everything back to default. Or otherwise you have to find out what might be affecting it and add more parameters to clear those for during the promo...
