pCD has long delay before playing CD (Solved)
I am using zigbert's pCD cd player (currently using Tahr 32) and experiencing a long delay before it will start playing an audio CD.
I have a suspicion that this may be due to freedb database having gone offline earlier this year and I would like to update the pCD utility with the gnudb.org database address that fredx181 recently brought to my attention as the new database location for rippers etc.
Does anyone know where the correct config file is for pCD please? (Or is freedb.org specified within the code itself?)
cheers!
ps: /usr/local/pcd/func seems to contain code for cddb lookup but I cant see freedb.org coded in there anywhere...
EDIT : pCD seems to contain a ripping function so I am wondering if pCD relies on something already coded into cdda2wav - maybe the freedb.org address is specified somewhere outside of pCD.
It seems that freedb.org is compiled into cdda2wav but can be overwritten by the cddb-server parameter at run time.
If pCD is calling cdda2wav than maybe this parameter needs to be passed by pCD to cdda2wav. Unless there is some way to set an environmental variable permanently for cdda2wav.
Here is an example of the syntax that seems to work to get cdda2wav to access the database:
root# cdda2wav dev=/dev/sr0 cddb=0 -cddbp-server=gnudb.gnudb.org
Type: ROM, Vendor 'PLDS ' Model 'DVD+-RW DS-8A3S ' Revision 'HD12' MMC+CDDA
569344 bytes buffer memory requested, transfer size 131072 bytes, 4 buffers, 55 sectors
cdda2wav: Read TOC CD Text failed (probably not supported).
