Hi Fred,

 
In my tests I found that some metadata (the carts notes field springs to mind) 
did not transfer using the rdexport/rdimport method with its XML file. As a 
result I wrote a set of PHP scripts to export and import carts, or groups of 
carts, with also allows them to be moved between groups and renumbered etc. The 
code is rather messy but might be of use to someone:

Best regards,

The export and import would need to include a full set of meta data, including 
all of the talk times, segues etc.  It would however be a part of the library, 
and not the whole library.  Should this be done using rdexport/rdimport or 
should rivendell_filter be used?

 
You’re best bet would be to use rdexport(1) and then rdimport(1). Assuming that 
you use reasonably recent Rivendell (2.19.x) on both ends, you should get 100% 
transfer of the relevant metadata.

 



If using rdexport/rdimport, does some kindly soul have the correct command line 
syntax that I should be using for this?

 
The specifics will depend on precisely what you need to export and where you 
need it to go on the destination. There are man pages for both commands that 
should point you in the right direction. One suggestion: you probably want to 
defeat normalization [--normalization-level=0] on both the import and export 
(unless you have gross level errors in the original that you want to correct, 
in which case applying normalization on the import pass would be appropriate).

 
Cheers!
