Robot4Rip Wrong drive selection - space showing -1

[jurrabi]

Hi,

I'll tryed to find this error in the forums without luck. Sorry if it is duplicated.

I've used Gnot (and specially Robot4Rip) for a While Now, so I think I can handle it preaty well.

But with the latest version (included in Gnot 0.25) 0.5 Build 1090 I'm having a problem I cannot solve.

No matter what unit I select in properties to store the rips It always stores it in C:,

Also, the space available apears as -1 Bytes/-1 Bytes...

Any ideas? Thanks in advance,

JUrrabi.

I assume you mean version 0.35 and you are talking about robot4rip having the problem? I can only make a wild guess at the source of your problem.

1) Some kind of permission/security problem (using Windows 2000/XP with NTFS?). Try under administrator account and see if it works.

2) Perhaps the disk you want to access has too much free space or is too big :D (perhaps bigger than 137GB?). In this case an overflow occurs, which would seem likely since the available space indicates -1. A workaround would be the make smaller partitions on your disk.

Please note that robot4rip isn't supported anymore (hence, you'll have to do with what it does now :D) and is only available in the package at our convenience.

Thanks for your response, but I got the answer...

I accidentally deleted the %drive% part in the paths and it was using always C...

what a pitty that r4r is not supported anymore...

With it I can get perfect DX rips in 3 steps:

1. R4rip for ripping & stracting audio`+ subs (and resampling if wanted)
2. DrDivX for the Video recompresing
3. mmg for matroska files creation (for me the best packager right now) with 2 audios and 2 subs...


Now I'm playing with Nero digital as I do the same in 1 step. but for the momment is quite buggy... and XBMC cannot handle subtitles...

anyway thanks again.

How can XBMC not handle subtitles? My XBMC handles all subtitles :D

If your using matroska, then that's probably the problem. I'm still having problems with it. Last year and still with current versions. Packaging Vobsub streams in a matroska file doesn't seem to work too well. Only mplayer seems to be able to playback well. Media Player Classic doesn't work either. And besides that, I seem to have seeking problems as well (can't skip randomly through a file). So I gave up on it. Also, I'm a bit worried using it because of compatibility issues I've had so far and I wonder if it'll ever get mainstream support (playable on all software and future hardware players).

No, you didn't understood correctly.
In XBMC I get all subtitles working (avi+srt, mkv, etc) excetp mp4 with subtitle tracks inside...

No, I also don't have that problem. I usually rip all my dvds to mkv with 2 AC3 audio tracks and 2 vobsub subtitles (idx+sub) and it works perfect on PC (Zoomplayer, mediaplayer and MPC work perfect) and XBOX (XBMC of course)...

About your other comments it is true that it is highly probable that mkv files won't be supported in commercial hardware, but I don't care about those problems.

Right now I use the XBOX as my HomeTheater equiment and don't plan to buy any other.
