Mass update info via script

Post by Prophet^^ »

hehe, i couldnt think up of a better anem for the subject
anyways
you know how we can get info via script and the internet like imdb?
it tells youe the director, catagory, lengh, etc etc
but having to do each movie one by one is a real task, esp if you have a large collection
this is what i had to do when i switched to ant movie catalog
insert, eject 500 cd's
then shift-f10 about 400 movies
this took forever...and i mean forever
the cd insert/eject cant be helped, but the get info from script should be able to
why not make it so you can mass get info from script?
select multiple movies and then shift-f10
get 10 movie info at once
might take a little longer...but id rather wait a few minutes then have to do it one by one again
also, this mass idea
on all my movies, i left out what media type it was
and now i want to fill that in but i dont want to have to fill them all in one by one
all my movies are in avi format so is there anyway you could make it so i can just select all and change the media type to avi?^^

There is the Tools -> Scripting command to apply a script on a batch on selected movie items.

And to modify a value of all selected movies, still in Tools -> Scripting, go in the Editor tab, click New, and enter this between begin and end :
SetField(fieldMediaType, 'avi');
