I haven't heard any updates or changes being done in the ripping section of Kodi. It's a feature that was thought to be removed anyway.
Personally I have never used that option in Kodi (or XBMC), not in the least because there are far better CD ripping applications available, such as CDex. After that, Kodi can import simply 'scrape' the .mp3 files in the usual manner.
Alternatively, you can create a ticket in Kodi's Bug Tracker with all full logs and details.
I have a media center to do the ripping on my MEDIA CENTER, NOT MY COMPUTER!
Your "media center" isn't a computer? What is it?
Understand. Then you should enable logging, reproduce the error and give a link to kodi.log. That's the way to find out what happens.

Gee... Someone forgot to take his medication today.
tekno - I read your 3 posts and have no idea what you are trying to say. You never mentioned what computers are used for Libreelec (Kodi) and your media server (storage) and how they're connected (network). Why are you using Kodi to rip music CD's ?
Using my Windows 10 Desktop Computer and Windows Media Player, I spent 2 weeks ripping my entire CD collection (~100 CD's) to FLAC lossless files and stored them on the same desktop computer, which acts as my media server for my gigabit wired home network. I have Libreelec 9.2.4 (Kodi) running on 2 Intel NUC Mini-Computers and access all my media files using an SMB network connection.
You maybe noticed that you do something unusual with LE, because most users prefer other ways to rip. If you don't provide a log file, your chances are pretty bad to get a fix.

Seems like most of the LE team is using windows as main OS. Now I understand why nfs-server in LE isn't available. As linux user it's a lot user friendly to use nfs over smb and probably more secure also. (totally off-topic, I know...)

Not me. Ubuntu is my daily driver.

Not really. Kodi (and LibreELEC) is designed to be a application CLIENT. It is not meant to be a server. It does have SMB because Windows supports it basically as its only sharin, Linux can do both SMB and NFS quite easily. NFS server is not implement in LE because it would add to LibreELEC becoming bloated.

Sorry for my misinterpretation. CDEX, although opensource, seems to be a windows app.

I don't have a problem with this, I just think it's easier to mount a directory structure from a nfs-server on linux then from a SMB server. My LE box has it own hdd, so I have to put files on it on regular base. And yes it would be easier to put everything on my PC or a NAS and serve it to LE. But I'm kind of a low electricity consumer nerd and don't want to run a extra device just to watch a movie.
Probably nfs would indeed just taking space on 90% of the LE-devices.
roel Please stop NAS / OS discussion. We don't want that one-thread-fits-all thing.
