I'm assuming here that he is ripping the dvd on one computer then attempting playback on it and another, using a network to produce said playback on 2nd pc. Understandably he assumes that simply navigating to the folder containing the video should playback his video and attain all metadata as well, but this is not the case as WMC is set up to retrieve all metadata from a user location, AR&C Is set up to store it's metadata there, so your 2nd computer can not retrieve information from there as you're first can and hence won't show it,it is no matter that you are using third party software, once empty sorts out the mc extender issue that is basically the same, You're issue should be resolved as well. for now you could you yammm to back up your metadata searches, as it does support extenders and 2nd pc's through multi user selection,in the configuration file though the networking part is still complicated there are lots of posts in the yammm topic to help solve any networking issues

 Thanks DeaDoubleJ for explaining it!

 

I've posted a new version in the first post with the following changes:

• Added automatically stop and refresh disc (only when Auto Rip n Compress is open) - only works when DVD autoplays.
• Added option to rip inserted disc automatically. (Works well in conjunction with above option so you can simply load discs in the tray when last one is ejected)
• Fixed crash when starting program when certain discs are inserted.

 

OK, I did some playing last night.  It looks like a blank .xml file is being put into the dvdinfocache folder for the extenders.  Not sure if this occurs when it is ripped or later when it tried building the library on the extender.  I copied the proper .xml from my main user that did the rip, and the synopsis showed up.

 I was also expecting the Movie Library to work like My Movies where if it could play the actuall disk, it would, otherwise, it would play the .wtv.  This is not the case, and you have to have one or the other.

 Finally, I attempted to rip a dvd the other day, and it resulted in a corrupted .wtv file.  I am going to attempt to do it again.

In my programming I am trying to copy the files over to the extenders, but I guess it just isn't working. Can you copy and paste your exact path for your extender's DvdInfoCache directory?

For your wtv issue, are you doing uncompressed wtv or compressed wtv?

Mark, just sent you an e-mail with the code to determine extender accounts and their corresponding profile path

It does not but you can use the transcode loop hole to play VIDEO_TS files on extenders. You lose subtitles though. See http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/t/78931.aspx for more information. And any questions please post in that thread so Mark's doesn't get side tracked

Mark, keep in mind that you will also want to take into account the scenario for an extender being added after movies have been ripped.  I have MyMovies installed for now, and I flipped on the folder monitoring, and it automatically copied all of the .xml files to the extenders profile.  A similar feature would be great, but would likely require a simple service.  A button in your addin to refresh extenders would likely work as well.

 I use a sync program to copy movies to a hard drive as backup.

Can I use the program to back up these files to the folder on the second computer?

What files should be copied and where they would have to copy?

Thanks DeaDoubleJ.

 I do not know why, but if I try to rip "HANCOCK" (in BlueRay) the program crash and a message appears that says "The program stopped working, will automatically revert to Media Center.

If I rip "Die Hard 4.0" (in BlueRay) I have no problems.

EMpTy3000 Any ideas?

Do you have the newest version, 2.07? When exactly does it crash?

 Yes, i have 2.07. When MCE ask me what i want to do: Play movie with TMT3 or rip with AR, i click AUTORIP and then, should appear LOADING, but, when appear LOADING, appear the other message. But only with Hancock.

Ok. Thanks. Here is a new version with enhanced error detection. This won't fix it, but it should tell me where the error is occurring so I can fix it.

Auto Rip n Compress v2.07.1 (Enhanced Error Detection)

Please install and test Hancock again and let me know what the error message is. Thanks!

 OK, give 5 minutes.

 No, the message still appear.

belloto

 No, the message still appear.

Odd.... I can't figure out where the error would be. If you can do some digging for me see if there are any errors in the event viewer. The easiest way to find it would be to try to load up Auto Rip n Compress, let it crash, look at the time on your pc, and immediately go to the event viewer and try to find an error for that time. Thanks or testing this with me!
