Rip CDs with headless Kodi - extremeaudio - 2018-12-25
So I have installed a headless Kodi variant on my unRaid server. My only application for this kodi instance is to be able to rip cds when I pop it in.
I reckoned that I can make changes in guisettings.xml in the following section as below, it should do the trick but somehow its not ripping discs. I have the same settings on another regular kodi box and I use that to rip cds. Can anyone help?
Code:
<audiocds>
<autoaction>2</autoaction>
<ejectonrip default="true">true</ejectonrip>
<encoder>audioencoder.flac</encoder>
<recordingpath>/var/media/Data/Music/Ripped Music/</recordingpath>
<trackpathformat default="true">%A/%A - %B/[%N. ][%A - ]%T</trackpathformat>
<usecddb default="true">true</usecddb>

Using kodi to only rip CDs is like hunting squirrels with nukes.

@extremeaudio beside that seems to be bit of a overkill for simply ripping CDs, are you sure you installed the specific encoder which you want to use? Be aware that the flac encoder is normally not installed by default and on Linux based systems it's a binary add-on which has to be installed seperately. For example for Ubuntu based installation it's shipped via the Kodi ppa. If it's not packaged somewhere you probably need to compile that yourself.
Normally AAC or the WMA encoder are installed by default. Try using that for a test.
