Rubyripper crashes

Hey! Every time i try to rip a CD with non-ASCII-characters, rubyripper crashes. This problem existed for me for a long time, but today i have finally have the time to write this post.
According to this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1320769
i tried to use the git version of rrip instead (found at the AUR). But the error still existed at the git-version. The exact error message i get at crashes is:
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/2.1.0/rr_lib.rb:1660:in `gsub!': incompatible encoding regexp match (UTF-8 regexp with ASCII-8BIT string) (Encoding::CompatibilityError)

R81Z3 wrote in the same thread as posted above:
"(...) Mine was would not start but I use KDE, and the ruby-gtk2 dependency solved my issue."
I also looked up if i have ruby-gtk2 installed and yes, it is installed.

Thank you!

Re: Rubyripper crashes

Report the bug upstream. There's probably some extra escaping they need to do.

Re: Rubyripper crashes

Had the same error today. In my case removing umlauts from the names made rubyripper not crash and rip the CD. I corrected the tags after the rip was finished.

Re: Rubyripper crashes

The point is that rubyripper has no active members anymore and the last release came out back in 2011.
@Klepper: Yes, that's the same manner i am using rripper. But i thought that this could be made easier by fixing the bug.
Anyway if someone knows a way how to fix it, feel free to post it. Otherwise i will just stay at the same old method and change my ripping program someday.

Re: Rubyripper crashes

that bug is reported and fixed in rubyripper-git

But... rubyripper-git does not work with flac 1.3. And since there is absolutely no development anymore, this is unlikely to change anytime soon.
