Re: [RDD] File Name in RDLibrary

[Seth Stevenson]

I have tried rdimport and it didn't work either. I tried using a third
party tagger and the name is still not showing up in the cuts withing the
cart itself. I also tried the Rivendell promo flac files that are on the
website, and they are not showing up either. Not sure what to do. I am
using a compiled version of rivendell 2.13.0 on a raspberry pi. Fred, any
suggestions?

Hi Seth,

Things to try:

use rdimport --verbose --delete-cuts --to-cart=[cartnum no leading 0] 
GROUP /path/to/file.mp3


with NO other switches and see what populates the Cart data.

rdimport reads some but not all variants of mp3 tag sometimes failing 
because of junk in the tag file.


rdimport on the command line is a lot easier to tune then the GUI.

Also:
Look at the file and try and locate the tag data. Tags can be ID3v1, 
ID3v2.3, ID3v2.4 and  can contain characters which upset the importer.
Some rippers include tag data with ~!@#$%^&*()_+|"?>< ®¥ and other 
symbols which bash looks at as commands.
Somewhere I have a script that sets ALL tags to 'null' except Artist and 
Title  which I run before the audio is imported.


Meanwhile this code helped me import a bunch of files which had tag issues.

all the usual caveats apply.

Re: [RDD] File Name in RDLibrary

Ok, I used the %t and it labeled the cart name with the correct current cut
title. However when you open the cart and look at the cuts, they are not
titled, for instance in the description field. They are coming in from the
ftp server as mp3's and rivendell is converting them to .wav files. Is the
metadata being lost because of the conversion.

 Hi,

 I am having trouble with my file names showing up in rdlibrary. I am
 using .wav files. It shows the cart number/cut number, but no matter how I
 manipulate the file it doesn't seem to tag it. I am using the dropbox
 feature to import. I even used a third party software to try and tag it
 before importing. Any idea what to do? I am using the cart chunk feature in
 dropbox. Thanks.

Hi Seth. Another thing you can try is %a - %t or %f in the meta field a =
artist, t = song title or f = file name.

Hi Seth
I have my drop boxes set up to use the meta information with %i (lower cast
letter I) or %l (lower case letter L). I think that is what you are wanting
to do?
Many thanks

You could try converting the wavs to flac and making sure the flac is
tagged.

all the best,

[RDD] File Name in RDLibrary

Hi,

I am having trouble with my file names showing up in rdlibrary. I am using
.wav files. It shows the cart number/cut number, but no matter how I
manipulate the file it doesn't seem to tag it. I am using the dropbox
feature to import. I even used a third party software to try and tag it
before importing. Any idea what to do? I am using the cart chunk feature in
