Re: dBpoweramp Batch Ripper: Discussions

How did you set it to shutdown? Batch Ripper >> Profile Edit then set in profile?

Re: dBpoweramp Batch Ripper: Discussions

Slight annoyance with the Batch process. If you set-off a Rip of severval hundred songs and then set the action on completion, i.e. shut-down. If you then cancel the rip (in my case returning to the laptop to dial into work) it is annoying that the batch programme then shutdowns the machine or any other action you selected on completion.

Would it be possible that if the batch programme is cancelled interactively the action is ignored? Or a message is displayed?

Click the line again and it re-appears, it is a known refresh issue.

Bug: When editing a drive and setting to Unconfigured, the configure button does not re-appear next to the drive in the list of unconfigured drives.

Re: dBpoweramp Batch Ripper: Discussions

A configuration convenience request:

Instead of five fields:

Pre-Batch
Load
Unload
Reject
Post-Batch

How about six fields:

*All*
Pre-Batch
Load
Unload
Reject
Post-Batch

Reason: I get tired of manually changing the --comport= and --comspeed= options thirty times for six drives. Six times is more manageable.

If you do this, there should also be an All subdir in each loader directory (to allow the driver to set the default CLI parameters).

Spoon -

106x? That's nothing, I hit 108x a couple days ago!

Re: dBpoweramp Batch Ripper: Discussions

Spoon you were right, I made a mistake. :( In trying to get these drives to work with Batch Ripper I must have inadvertently turned off "Prevent auto-run on all CD drives" in CD Ripper. With that option on in CD Ripper I need to click the Retry button to load a new disc. With that option off CD Ripper does detect a new disc as well as Windows just as you expected. Turning that option off in the Batch Ripper Configuration did not allow Batch Ripper to sense a new disc however.

So I guess I am requesting that Batch Ripper have the ability to sense a new disc using auto-run like CD Ripper can even though I know it puts my system at risk of root kits. Another option, however not very practical, would be to have a Retry button available in Batch Ripper like CD Ripper.

Actually the prevent auto run will not work on the very old plextors, it needs a modern MMC call, so you are still getting the auto-run (easy test, open explorer with no cd in drive, keep on my computer. Start CD Ripper, put cd in drive, look at explorer and press f5, if it shows the cd drive changes to 'audio cd' then preventing auto run is not working).

None of the calls mentioned by breandon are handled by the px-40.

Re: dBpoweramp Batch Ripper: Discussions

As brendon said, CD ripper can use the Auto Insert Notification, by default batch ripper turns off this, to stop those Sony CDs taking over your system with root kits...

I'm confused then. I have the "Prevent auto-run on all CD drives" enabled in CD Ripper and it senses disc changes just fine and I seem to remember toggling this option on and off in the Batch Ripper settings to no avail.

We constantly poll the drive using calll 0x4a (get mediastatus), this is not supported in theolder plextors.

Is this different from the standard ripper then?

Hmm...I wonder if they are new enough to support the tray status bit in Mechanism Status (0xBD) and/or the disc type byte in Get Configuration (0x46)? Or if there's a useful way to poll using Read Disc Information (0x51)?

Re: dBpoweramp Batch Ripper: Discussions

Did you actually click the Rip button? The first screen is the job setup screen, you have to click Rip to go into the mode where it starts opening/closing the tray and looking for the disc...

Thanks for the suggestion Brendan, yes I did click the Rip button In fact I have used the Batch Ripper on another system with fantastic results. It just does not seem to work with these drives.

It could be our code to find if a CD is in the drive is not compatible with old non-mmc drives.

That would be unfortunate, but I find it odd that the stand alone Ripper does detect CD changes. Is the code different for the Batch Ripper?

I suppose one could fall back to enabling windows autoinsert notification. Ugh.

If that would make it work with these drives I think it would be better then nothing.

Re: dBpoweramp Batch Ripper: Discussions

Does the Batch Ripper work with SCSI Pass Through(D8)? I can't seem to get it to work with my two Plextor PX-32TS drives that require the D8 mode to function. They work fine in CD Ripper but the batch ripper just stares at me after I start a batch and insert a disc. Any Ideas?
