NScriptHelper.exe functions

[shaunpatrick77]

A quick two part question

(a) Is there an up-to-date definitive list of NScriptHelper.exe's functions?

(b) I know it can read the title, subtitle and description of a recording, but can it also write this info?

That would be a HUGE help as my guide data is often incomplete or inaccurate and I would love to write a little app to help me edit/enter the missing info, but I'd rather not touch the database directly.

Many thanks

I can't remember but if you bump the thread in two days, I'll check. I'll be back in NZ then.

Thanks Sub, will do.

I have a bunch of old recordings and would love to be able to update their metadata - Thanks Sub!

(b) I know it can read the title, subtitle and description of a recording, but can it also write this info?

I checked, and no it cant. Unfortunately it can only read them.

If you can suggest some command line parameters you'd like added, I'll see if I can add them for the next release.

Hi Sub
I was thinking of 3 extra commands, such as:

NScriptHelper.exe -rename_title <filename> <new_title>
NScriptHelper.exe -rename_subtitle <filename> <new_subtitle>
NScriptHelper.exe -rename_description <filename> <new_description>

I'll try to add these for the next release.

It would be nice to be able to read a number of other columns from the database as well. I was thinking of genre, season, episode, classification.
then you could move recordings about based on genre / classification and then update (if required the database).
e.g. move all movies to movies folder where they then get indexed and accessed via the (new) movie plugin (or xbmc).
This would give people the change to take a bit more control about how their recordings are named and located.
