[Freevo-users] cdburn.py
I have a problem burning audio cd's with the cd_burn.py plugin.Nothing seems to happen when I choose to burn an audio cd.To see what went wrong, I started Freevo from a console.When I select a folder with music, it says: CDBURN : Item type is dirCDBURN : Should show the menu? 1then when I select Burn cd, it says:CDBURN : Item type = dirCDBURN : Dir has media : NoneWhat I don't understand is that it says there's no media in this dir, but at the same time I can slelect "Burn audio files (MP3, Wav and Ogg) as Audio CD". However, when I select that option, nothing happens. I have no problems at all when burning a video DVD, so I am able to burn.I'm using Freevo 1.5.4 on Mandriva 2006, and the latest version of cd_burn downloaded from the website. ___ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users

So why not skipping Freevo > entirely and using some players, like gmplayer or xine? Fair point, actually - I've just been running it that way so long it didn't really occur to me to do otherwise. I do that because I'm lazy, because when I tried running it on top of Xfce (or something, it was a while ago, I don't remember exactly...) it had trouble staying in fullscreen mode, and because it's sometimes useful to have a WM in the background for other stuff. anyhoo, I didn't realise freevo had its own automounter. If that's the case I can just turn GNOME's off and it should work OK, I'll check that out tomorrow - thanks for the note. -- adamw ___ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
