Problems archiving a CD into a file

[calhariz]

Hi,

I am using josh version v2.12.1 on Debian system.

I have sucessfully rip two dozens of CDs into mp3 and flac with cover.
Now I am trying to master the archive option "-1".

So I am using:

abcde -V -1

and I got some errors.

It seams it can not generate the cuesheet. When trying to generate
debug output (abcde -V -D -1) I got too much text. Any clues?

It seams it can not generate the cuesheet. When trying to generate
debug output (abcde -V -D -1) I got too much text. Any clues?

Firstly I would say that single file archive (-1) is only available
for flac, so command line would look like:

abcde -V -D -B -o flac -1

I'd need to see some verbose or debug output to have an idea of what's
happening. If you don't want to mail it to everyone, feel free to open
an issue on the github repo and paste all the debug output there.
Maybe then reply all here with the issue number for anyone wanting to
follow along.

Cheers,
Josh

To give a context, first I use a simpler command.

Using:

rm -r abcde.990cd70a ; abcde -B -o flac -1

I don't see anything out of the ordinary in your command line. Can you please attach your configuration file?
$HOME/.abcde.conf

[poddmo]

I have a change that might help debug your issue. Please change line 4482-4483 of abcde like this:
From

		D) set -x ;;
		h) usage; exit ;;

to this

		D) set -x
                      PS4='+ ${LINENO}(${FUNCNAME}): '
                      ;;
		h) usage; exit ;;

[calhariz]

I used /etc/abcde.conf, them I migrated the relevant lines to $HOME/.abcde.conf, attaching both files.

abcde.conf_global.txt
abcde.conf_local.txt

Meanwhile I have done a "apt install mkcue", so now exists mkcue command.

abcde_debug_-1_with_mkcue.txt

[calhariz]

Marked closed by mistake.

[calhariz]

My mistake. I needed to add the options "-a default,cue". Sorry for it.

This works as expected: "abcde -V -G -B -1 -o flac -a default,cue"

[poddmo]

That's great news. Congrats on solving it and thanks for testing those changes.

I've create enhancement issue #30 for tracking the debug changes.
