Win One Button DVD/BluRay Ripping using a Launcher from within XBMC
(2012-09-22, 18:57)Hogman62 Wrote: Spinalcrack, thanks again for the help earlier and the script! I have a couple of other things that maybe you can help with. Like I said before, I'm trying to set up XBMC to be as fool proof as possible for someone that is NOT computer literate.

First question...we won't be using the bluray drive in the XBMC machine for anything other than ripping with your script and MakeMKV so is there any way to have your script run automatically when the disc is put in?

My other question....when it does get the movie name wrong from the disc, is there a way to open the folder with the movie files in it from within XBMC to manually rename the file without having to exit out of XBMC and do it within Windows. You know...for the non computer literate people.

Again...I'm just trying to make this "idiot" proof. Put the disc in...it rips it and autoupdate will add it to the library. If name is wrong...click menu selection and folder with movies in it opens. Rename mkv file and close. Now you're back at XBMC menu ready to go. Thanks again for the script and any help you can offer.

Ok, to get the script to automatically run when inserting a disc can be tricky. First you will need another program that is often used with XBMC, and that is EventGhost. Its a free download. It is not for the feint of heart to use lol. Install it, and create a new macro. A popup will happen and choose Start Application. Browse to the where you have LaunchAutoRipDVD.exe and choose it. Leave the other options blank. Next click the play button at the top (green arrow) and open and close your drive with a disc in it. You should see on the left the drive being mounted event. If your drive is say D:, it will look like this:

Code:
System.DriveMounted.D

Left click and drag that event over to the macro you just made. Now every time the drive is mounted the script will run. You will have to make sure you set Eventghost to launch with windows. It'll probably take some tinkering to get this to work, so these are loose guidelines only, to get you started, but you can make this work using this method (I just can't test it out for you because I don't have your system, but I got it to work on mine).

To rename the files within XBMC, you can go to the Video's section, navigate to the file, and right click on it and choose rename. Then the on-screen keyboard will pop up and you can rename the file or folder. Renaming the folder and not just the file is important.

Good luck! Let me know how you make out.
