Bug Description
Binary package hint: dvdrip-queue
The dvdrip-queue program (0.1.3-0.1ubuntu2 on maverick, and probably all the other releases) uses an invalid name in the ConfigParser module. When you go to the app's preferences and attempt to change the directory, the below happens:
sauer@trogdor:~$ dvdrip-queue
/usr/bin/
self.wTree = gtk.glade.
(dvdrip-
loading *.rip files... done
/usr/share/
self.wTree = gtk.glade.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/
config.
File "/usr/lib/
raise ValueError, 'Invalid section name: %s' % section
ValueError: Invalid section name: DEFAULT
Note that it's trying to use a section in teh config file named DEFAULT. That's not an allowed section name. If I open up /var/lib/
Therefore, my suggestion is to change the string DEFAULT to pretty much any word other than default.
I would have reported this on the project Sourceforge page, but there doesn't appear to be a bug reporting area defined for the project. :/
Ok, there's more to it than that, since the rest of the code assumes it's reading defaults. Creating the .ini file by hand to look like
sauer@trogdor:~$ cat .dvdrip-queue
[DEFAULT]
maxencodetime = 360.0
datadirectory = /mnt/dvdrip/tmp
works. But that's aggrevating and poorly documented. :)
