Script for silent batch info updates

Irish_john · Post by **Irish_john** » 2011-08-27 07:01:38

Does anyone have a script that will do a silent update i.e. no user responses required after initial selections actioned. I have 100s of films I have imported filenames for, but now want to do the information updates. Current scripts prompt for each film.
Thanks for any help,
John.

Some scripts have an option for batch mode. At least IMDB script has that.

Yup, I picked up on the ability to highlight a number of movies then run the script against then, but am looking for a way to cut out intervention e.g. the prompts for the name, then once it does the lookup on IMDB it comes back with options to select from. Any ideas?
Thanks,
John.

On batch mode it should run without interaction, though I never used that besides some tests quite a while ago.

Did you check Execution Options "Show results window" and "Close this window at end" for correct settings ?

Which options exactly does the script bring up to select from ? Maybe you need to set DescriptionSelection or some other options too, but I don't remember without looking up the code.

Did you change the batch mode in the scripts options on the right?
