Status of Ripped CDs

[delirium]

I'm just starting to use VortexBox 0.2 (After the lifehacker article..and this is a great product btw). When I insert a CD sometimes, half way through the ripping process, it seemingly stops doing anything. How do I check my events or is there a way of checking the status of how far the CD has been ripped vs how much more there is to go? Maybe this question has been asked before and if it had been, I apologize because I didn't see it in the forums already. Thank you!

Yes at some point we need a ripping status in the GUI. For now there is a log in /var/log/ripit.log that has the status of the rip.

Some disks take along time to start ripping or don't at all. Is that a disk problem or the dvd burner or ....


thanks

I had problems with a few heavily copy protected CDs during testing. I had to rip thouse with an external ripper. Out of 200 disks I ripped while testing VortexBox there were only two I could not get to rip. I turned off automatic disk error correction/verification and they ripped OK.


Turuning this off has to be done in the /etc/ripit/config file. I may add a way to do this to the GUI.

Excuse me for nagging, but I DO have quite a few rippings that go wrong (mostly older, scratched CDs) and I would DEARLY love to have some sort of logging turning up on a GUI. Please consider it for the 0.3 :-)

and please consider abou adding 1 or 2 buttons in the webgui.


something like, "stop ripping" (which maybe cleans partially ripped and coded stuff) or "emergency eject" (if it hangs on old discs)
