I am setting up KODI as mediacenter. I installed Linux Mint and KODI 16. I configured the system to automatically Rip my CD's and configured a place to store the files and choose LAME MP3 for encoding.
However, I can't find an option to Rip when I right click my CD in File Manager (only Play and Eject) neither does it automatically Rip the CD. Where can I find this option? Or where can I find what I maybe configured wrongly?
Hope someone can help!

in the media window, not the file manager.

yes, that's where it should be. what kind of session do you run kodi in? in particular, is udisks started?

I installed default Mint installation with one user. I start the Kodi through the start menu and the Sound & Video menu,
Playing the cd is no problem.
Should I run the Kodi program somehow as administrator or with different rights?

if you can play, it's not the problem. smells like a regression. i don't have a optical drive in any of my puters these days so i cannot check if i can reproduce.

Good news is that automatic ripping is working now. I changed the encoder from LAME to AAC and now when the device is inserted it starts ripping.
However I still don't see the rip option. Maybe someone can send me a screenpicture where the option should be?
Thanks.

Same menu as where you change the encoder.
Settings -> Audio Library & playback -> Audio CDs -> Audio CD insert action - which gives you a choice of none, play or rip.

Thanks for your reply black-eagle. OK, assume this option is set to none or to play, where in the menu can I find an option to rip the CD manually?
