Can I mass replace video/audio fields?

[daws0n]

I remember a few versions ago you could mass replace/update the audio & video format fields using the "update fields" script. However I can't find the option to do this anymore! Is it still possible?
Cheers guys,
Dawson

You mean that you do not find the script or that this particular field is not suggested by the script?
You may try the "auto.tools" script made by HappyTalk. It is not included with latest AMC release I think (I should update it btw), so you may have to get it from www.antp.be/temp/scripts/

Hey Ant,
Thanks for the advice - about to check out the auto.tools script, will report back how I get on! I believe the "update fields" script was the one I used before, but when you go to the replace field dialog box there is no option to select video/audio format as the field you want to replace.

error message when running auto.tools

Script error in "AUTO_TOOLS":unit is not found at line 3

-----------------------

line 3 is:
ScorEpioNCommonScript, AutoUtils;

Looks like it needs updating?

To run the script properly, it needs the following files in your script directory :

http://www.antp.be/temp/scripts/AutoUtils.pas

Still having a bit of trouble with the script, it's all in French despite the name saying (ENG)... Not to worry though, have done what I wanted to do using a simple find.replace script I found quoted in another thread
Appeciate the help though guys!

P.S Is it ok to using the newest version of mediainfo's .dll with AMC, or should I stick to the 0.6.0 supplied with it?

To use 0.7.x versions you have to use AMC 3.5.1 "beta", see Comments section.

About replacing a field using these scripts, I do not know, I usually do that myself by writing a script directly:

Code: Select all

program newScript;
begin
  SetField(fieldVideoFormat, 'new value');
end;
