import single file metadata util

[pBS]

here's a nice little util i whipped up to import single shows from video library..
for those times when you lose some data or want to re-import an old show info from archives..

only works for single files at a time, i have another one that can do a whole dir, contact me if you need it..

save this as "importxml.bat" and stick it in gbpvr\third party\

Code:

@echo off
if "%~1" == "" goto :eof
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
set newpath=%~1
rem Un'rem' next line and adjust to alter path while importing,
rem replaces first [color=Blue]path[/color] with second [color=Red]path[/color] in filename..
rem set newpath=%newpath:[b][color=Blue]e:\mpg\[/color][/b]=[b][color=Red]\\pvr\e\mpg\[/color][/b]%
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo Original name: %~1
echo      New path: %newpath%
echo.

echo. Generating Recording Import data for %~nx1 to -
echo. rec-dump.xml
echo.
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%e IN ("<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>") DO ECHO %%e > "%cd%\rec-dump.xml"
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%f IN ("<recordings>") DO ECHO %%f >> "%cd%\rec-dump.xml"
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%f IN (" <recording>") DO ECHO %%f >> "%cd%\rec-dump.xml"
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%f IN (" <filename>%newpath%</filename>") DO ECHO %%f >> "%cd%\rec-dump.xml"
FOR /F "usebackq tokens=* skip=3" %%I IN ("%~1:metadata.xml") DO (echo   %%I >> "%cd%\rec-dump.xml")
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%l IN ("</recordings>") DO ECHO %%l >> "%cd%\rec-dump.xml"

type "%cd%\rec-dump.xml"
start /w "" "pvrx2.exe" -import:"%cd%\rec-dump.xml"

and add this to your config.xml under custom ffmpeg conversions

Code:

<Conversion name="Import metadata" exe="importxml.bat" cmd=" {SOURCE_FILE} &gt;&gt;imported.log" targetExtension=".SD.mpg" />

and you're all set...
adjust line near top to have it alter your filepath for network availability..
[not necessary tho, will keep original path as-is]
