Description seth 2005-07-15 00:22:02 UTC
Documentation bug
Section: gst-launch man page examples
               gst-launch cdparanoia ! mpegaudio ! filesink location=cd.mp3
       Rip  all  tracks  from  compact disc and convert them into a single mp3
       file

       Using gst-inspect(1), it is possible to discover settings  for  cdpara-
       noia that will tell it to rip individual tracks.


Correct version:
It should have an example of using cdparanoia to rip individual tracks. I've
spent a couple of hours trying to "discover" the correct settings.

Other information:
I know this has to do with ignorance as to how the plugin settings interact with
each other, but it's still hard to figure out. In fact, I still haven't figured
it out and haven't been able to find good documentation on this subject. Does
anyone know the correct settings?

Thanks, Seth

gst-launch cdda://<tracknum> ! lame ! filesink location=file.mp3

The documentation should simply be removed.
Comment 2 seth 2005-07-15 13:50:10 UTC
Thanks Ronald,

There is no gst-inspect documentation on cdda://. Is this using paranoia or no?
Is there not an ability to sink a *range* of tracks instead of just one (your
method) or all (cdparanoia)?
Comment 3 Ronald Bultje 2005-07-15 18:59:19 UTC
Not using gst-launch, no. You'll need a small scriptlet or application for that.
Should be 10-20 lines of code in python.

It uses whatever plugin registered the cdda:// URI with the highest rank, either
libcdio or cdparanoia.

The docs were updated, closing as fixed.
