I am having intermittent trouble on ripping CD's to MP3 under 710RC1 and I'm looking to see if anyone else is having anything similar or has suggestions.

The core is AMD64 all MD's are 32. 

All CD's play fine, but when I try to rip certain CD's are failing it is about 30% right now that are failing.  The ones that are failing will rip under ogg, but fail under mp3 (have even tried different bit rates.)  I have had one cd rip and one fail from a two disc set.  When looking at names, their are no special characters or symbols.

The folders are being created on the server, however the no files are ripped.  One of the files seems to start, and gets locked (but is empty).  The folder then can not be deleted until the core is rebooted.  Doesn't matter if done from core or MD.

I have verified that LAME is loaded on all machines.  I have gone into the add software and removed / added the codecs (wasn't sure if needed or not).

Thanks

Hi there,

Hmmm... I guess that might be an intermittent fault on the optical drive. Its not clear from your post if all the rips failed on the same MD or if the failure is spread across all of your MD's.

So it might be worth swapping out the optical drive if the failures are on a single MD.

If that does not fix the problem then please Mantis it.

All the best

Andrew

Hi,
I'm having the same problem. Getting lots of CD rip failed.

I also have alpha with no tearing on the same abit board. Did you try tweaking your graphics memory in the bios? I've set mine to 256mb for graphics, maybe that will help ...

Itsik,
I already have that setup on BIOS with no results. You must have something different from me.
Can you please post your xorg.conf? Which is your system configuration (CPU, RAM, etc.)

Thanks

Installation issues / Re: Issues with 0710 RC
« on: May 08, 2008, 08:07:44 pm »
Hello,
I'm a linuxmce user since version 0704 and now I've installed the 0710RC1 on a staging server and I'm having the following situation:
I've setup everything and when I was starting to think "boy, this is a good release" I found that whenever I playback my movies I can't ear the sound tracks, instead I get a weird sound like static, or imagine you are listening a sound reproduction with 1000% distortion, I'm afraid I can't explain better than this.

During video & audio setup all sound tests run ok, music and mythtv also perfect, is really just my movies :(

Don't know what to do. My sound card is a ADI AD1988B 8-Channel(S/PDIF) and is onboard on a ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe.

Thank's
JD


I found the solution for the above issue.
If you similar problem go to the pluto-admin website under "Wizard:Devices:Media Directors" set the audio to "Manual settings" with "AC3 pass-through" checked for the desired Media Director.

See: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Display_Drivers#LinuxMCE_keeps_reconfiguring_my_display_settings about that problem.

Thanks for the link. I have tried my modelines succesfully now. But the video playbacked still has the frame tearing issue. Windhoos doesn't have this problem with the same hardware  :'(

I like LinuxMce and i want it to be perfect, but with this video tearing it is not usefull for me. Please HELP!

OK. I managed it with some modeline changes in xorg.conf to get no frame tearing with UI1. But with "UI2 medium" there is still frame tearing. I want to if I will be able to use UI2 when i buy a new/better graphic card? If yes... which NVidia graphic card is tested as good with UI2 on 720p or 1080p?

Get an nVidia 6200 card ;-)

Andrew

I'm having the same tearing problem and I bought a 6200 after reading this but with no satisfactory results. My images still tear at 720p in UI2 with alpha blending.

totallymaxed could you please explain to me if you've done any tweak to make it work perfectly?

Thank you in advance

Installation issues / Nvidia 6200 TC Tearing
« on: May 08, 2008, 05:41:47 pm »
Hello,
I have a Nvidia 6200TC video card but I'm having tearing images in UI2 with alpha blending while watching movies.
Previously I had a 6600 LE and after trying everything without success I decided to buy a 6200 as recommended in several forum topics.

I have tearing only with alpha blending. Could it be configuration? Perhaps some xorg.conf fine tunning?

Installation issues / No Stereo on ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe
« on: March 24, 2008, 11:31:21 am »
Hello,
I'm installing LMCE on my M2N-SLI with an Nvidia 6600 and everything looks perfect although when I play stereo sources I can't ear no sound. No problem with Dolby and DTS.

The sound chipset of this board is the Soundmax ADI AD1988B 8-Channel(S/PDIF).

Any clues?

Thanks

Users / Album MP3 playback not ordered
« on: February 17, 2008, 03:06:17 pm »
Hello,
I have several audio albums ripped into my Core although when I play back the ripped contents MCE doesn't play the music tracks according to the album order instead it sorts the tracks alphabetically. Terrible when listening live concerts audio albums.

Anyone knows how to maintain the album CD sound tracks order during playback?

Many thanks in advance!
JD
