Audio rips not working

[Ramblurr]

First: thanks for taking the time to package ARM and make the nixos module. Given how many commtis you've made to your fork, it looks like it was quite a lot of work.

I want to rip audio cds with ARM.

I had to apply several workarounds to get to this point, but now I am stuck.

Here is my full config

{
  config,
  lib,
  pkgs,
  ...
}:

let
  baseFolder = "/srv/data/media/rips";
  configFolder = "/etc/arm";
  handbrakeArgs = preset: "--preset-import-file '${configFolder}/handbrake/${preset}.json'";
  HB_PRESET_DVD = "MKV 720p30 x265";
  uid = 950;
  HB_PRESET_BD = "MKV 1080p30 x265";

  # Adding these pkgs to the systemd service's path was the main workarounds i've added
  extraPkgs = [
    pkgs.abcde
    pkgs.ffmpeg-headless
    pkgs.handbrake
    pkgs.cdparanoia
    pkgs.git
    pkgs.hostname
    pkgs.gawk
    pkgs.diffutils
  ];
in

You can ignore the git error and the eject error for now, the main problem is the one that prevents the rip from proceeding:

mkdir: cannot create directory ‘//abcde.88071609’: Read-only file system
abcde: Temp directory //abcde.88071609 could not be created.

I don't know why ARM is trying to use // as the path, seems like a config var is missing or empty.

The generated abcde.conf looks like:

❯ cat /etc/arm/abcde.conf
CDDBPROTO=6
EJECTCD=y
EXTRAVERBOSE=2
MAXPROCS=12
NOSUBMIT=y
OUTPUTDIR=/srv/data/media/rips/completed/audio
OUTPUTTYPE=flac
PADTRACKS=y
WAVOUTPUTDIR=/srv/data/media/rips/raw

All of the paths under /srv/data exist and have perms 0770 with media group ownership.

ls -al /srv/data/media/rips/raw
total 8
drwxrws--- 2 ramblurr media 4096 Sep 20 14:41 .
drwxrws--- 5 ramblurr media 4096 Sep 20 14:41 ..

Searching upstream for this reveals:

• abcde: cannot create Temp directory automatic-ripping-machine/automatic-ripping-machine#237
• V2.0.1 stable: abcde doesn't rip -permission issue automatic-ripping-machine/automatic-ripping-machine#266

But neither have obvious solutions to my eyes.. any ideas?

Hi! Sorry about the late answer, I must've missed the notification. I'm picking this project up again to get a few more of my changes upstream, and I'll probably look into this in the coming days. Thanks a lot for your detailed report :)

[xieve]

abcde defaults to ripping in the current working directory, which defaults to the root directory. I can see in the logs that the config file isn't passed to abcde, I'll investigate. Should be an easy fix.

[xieve]

Try the dev branch now :) (github:xieve/automatic-ripping-machine/dev?dir=nixos if you're using flakes)

Edit: I haven't tested it myself yet, as my server is currently transcoding something. It might be horribly broken because I have split up everything into branches, but it shouldn't be, hopefully.
