So if I install an older version like 0704 it could work?

Installation issues / Ripping complete: Failed to rop 1 tracks (DVD/Ripping with Sony XL1B)
« on: February 01, 2008, 06:05:23 pm »
Hi, I'm having some problems ripping my DVDs using the Sony DVD-changer
I can ID movies, and play them, but when I try to rip them I get the follwing message: "Ripping Completed: Failed to rip 1 tracks"
When I run sudo apt-get install -y libdvdread3 I get the following
When I run the install-css.sh I get:
Anyone know what the problem might be?

In my experience, torrents are far superior to standard http/ftp mirriors, always maxing out my d/l speed on distros.
And if one plans to set up a normal mirror, one can just as well set it up as a seedbox for the torrent.

Actually I'm having problems ripping my DVDs, have not tried CDs yet. I've been using th 0704 version, but I'm installing 0710 now so I'll check back later today for a new report.
edit:
Nope, DVD-ripping does not seem to work for me
Keep getting a can't read message even tough I can play the DVDs

« on: January 30, 2008, 11:28:14 pm »
I have one of the "famous" Sony DVD-changers, and I wanted to use the mass-ripping function to ripp my movies, but since the HD in the LMCE-computer is rather small I was wondering if it's possible to ripp them straight to the file server.

« on: October 26, 2007, 04:52:26 am »
Something just got to me, I use internet to watch various sports, Baseball from mlb.tv, tennis from atptennis.com, and football from fxtv.no, since I can watch all these in my Firefox browser, I assume that it will work well in LinuxMCE aswell, correct?
But I also use livesport247.com to watch english football, these are streams that I play back in Winamp, I think that they are encoded in h.264, and the file I get from the streamprovider is a m3u-file
Will the internet content work just as good in LMCE as in Windows?

Users / Re: Questions around my LinuxMCE network
« on: October 17, 2007, 04:51:17 pm »
Thank you for many good answers, the main reason why I want to split the network in two is to keep the HTPC-network safe from any errors that may occur on the data network, I also want to take down any part of the LMCE-network including the Core and still be able to use the computer-network without replugging wires, and vice-versa I want to be able to taking down the router without it affecting the LMCE-network in other ways then that it looses it's internet-connection.
But I also want to have the two networks seperated to make sure that I have enough bandwith for streaming HD-material, at the moment there are only two HTPCs, but if I get it all to work as I want to there might pop up atleast 2 more. And If I get a virus or Trojan on my computer-network that nerfs my bandwith I don't want that to affect playback on the LMCE-network.
I've also learned that it's safest to run as few things as possible on the router/firewall box because the more you have on it, the bigger is the chance for security holes.

Users / Questions around my LinuxMCE network
« on: October 15, 2007, 01:37:54 am »
Ok, I'm considering setting up a LinuxMCE "network at home, and I have some quick question, some are conserning Linux MCE, others are about LinuxMCU in the network. The questions will be numbered.
Let's start at the beginning, I plan to have a network that looks like this:
The router is going to be a computer running one of the following, Clarkconnect, Monowall, IPCop, Astaro, SMEserver, PFsense or Smoothwall
And as you see I want to split the network in two different zones (using 3 NICs in the router, one for internet in, and then the one for each zone), one for the LinuxMCE-network including one core, and to begin with 2 Media Directors, an the other zone for gaming and work computers.
1. If I understand it correctly I will have to put a static IP on the core from the router, and then enable DHCP on the core for the MDs, correct? And wil this setup give internet on the HTPCs?
2. Today I'm using a Windows Home Server as the medialibrary, what is the best way to make the movies that I have on this server available for the LMCE, I love the accessability over the net trough WHS's Livenode system, can I use a WHS-box as fileserver for the movies? Can LMCE read the content of it?
2.5 When using the "copy DVD" function, is it possible to set the fileserver as the destination? Is this a hard thing to do?
3. How big a harddrive will I need in the MDs when using network-boot?
Now on to the TV and remote controll part.
4. Anyone know if the norwegian digital-ground-TV-(riks-TV) system will work witn LMCE, the same way the system on the demo-video works? And are there any supported TV-cards that have a better input for this then composite?

Installation issues / Too high resolution on startup
« on: May 27, 2007, 07:57:59 pm »
I've just installed Ubunto and LMCE, but when I reboot the resolution is too high for my screens, I've tried a screen that supports 1280x1024 resolution, but no luck with thatone either. Is there any way of lowering the startup-resolution?
