The automatic script you refer to we call AutoRip, and it does have problems with any discs whose metadata contains any "special" non-English characters.I do not have pioneer lx 88 Blu-ray machine, can not complete the test you said, my pioneer 160 through a 4 automatic script can complete the crawl, friends oppo 103 through a 5 can automatically crawl, but there is a problem to respond, For example: grasp the first SACD is very smooth, to the second, occasionally very slow very slow, twice as long as the first time will not automatically pop up, this time to disconnect the Blu-ray power to re-operation to continue to grasp the SACD, Some of the captured SACD-ISO file is not complete, can not extract DSF, through the foobar extracted DSF album last song longer than the iso!
Those discs will rip just fine using the network server method, but AutoRip will fail on discs with any non-English characters in the metadata.
Ripping consecutive discs does exhaust the player's limited on-board RAM, we think due to a memory leak in the executable, however you can always reset by doing a power cycle (with flash drive removed).
You should not be seeing any slow down or problem with a second consecutive rip however, especially not with an Oppo player which has more onboard RAM than the Pioneer and Sony units do. Typically the RAM exhuaustion willi only happen after about 6-7 consecutive rips. I think what your friend is seeing is the problem with encountering non-English characters in the metadata. Try the network server method on those discs and they should rip OK.

If you are proficient using the CLI, then you do not need Java, but most people prefer the point and click interface of a GUI. Don't fear Java, just ensure you are keeping it fully updated.I click on the enhanced version to go in can only see the introduction and code, can not find the packaged file download!
