Wizmetadatagrabber command line

[Clanky]

I've tried
wizmetadatagrabber.exe /f: %1
in my postprocessing.bat but it doesn't work. Tried other combinations in a command line to no avail

I'm using gbpvr 1.3.11 & wizmetadatagrabber 1.0.10.4.

Log attached

Sorry, I am out of town at the moment and do not have access to machine with GBPVR. I will be back around Aug 8th or so and will get back to you.

Bump this thread if I don't respond around the 8th.

OK, will get back to you later
thanks

Your log file indicates the program aborts when running:

2009-07-29 16:44:22.306 VERBOSE [WizMetadataGrabber] [ConsoleMain] ERROR: Index was outside the bounds of the array.
2009-07-29 16:44:22.306 VERBOSE [WizMetadataGrabber] [ConsoleMain] stacktrace:

Make sure you have the most current version of the program and the WizDLLs. If that does not resolve the problem, I'll try to recreate the issue when I get back home.

I think the actual root cause may be that the Core.ValidSources string array is not being properly initialized when executed from the commandline.

EDIT: I did not realize there were a second list of "Metadata Source Priority" options for batch mode...I will configure this and see if that corrects the problem.

SECOND EDIT: Set the priorites for batch mode - no longer an issue as of V1.0.10.4 and the last verson of the dlls-- so you can disregard my previous post (I am going to delete my original post)
I was right is was: Core.ValidSources string array not being initialized [because I had not configured it - in the gui.]

This was the commandline that I used [that is working]:

Code:

WizMetadataGrabber.exe /f: "file with spaces.mpg" /sb
** note the space between /f: and the filename

Also: Under Options ==> Media Source Priority (In the GUI):

1. Configure Priorites for Interactive Mode
   
2. Configure Priorites for Batch Mode
   [INDENT]
   • Failure to: [COLOR="Blue"]Configure Batch Mode Priorities [/COLOR] ==> gives this error (I'm sure a similar error might be seen if Interactive Priorites were not set)
     

     2009-07-29 16:44:22.306 VERBOSE [WizMetadataGrabber] [ConsoleMain] ERROR: Index was outside the bounds of the array.
     2009-07-29 16:44:22.306 VERBOSE [WizMetadataGrabber] [ConsoleMain] stacktrace:
     at WizMetadataGrabber.ConsoleCore.ProcessCmdLine(String[] args)
     at WizMetadataGrabber.Program.ConsoleMain(String[] args)

     
     Reason for the error being thrown:
     

     [INDENT]Setting Batch Mode Priorites causes the Core.ValidSources array to be properly intialized, without these, priorites, being set: Core.ValidSources is null and as a result does not have a valid index [There are no elements to index] and, thus, we do not have any valid "metadata sources" to use for updating the metadata in batch mode.[/INDENT]

     
     
   [/INDENT]

Excellent troubleshooting! Next time I'm in that code, I will put in a check to avoid that error.

Thanks.

There could be a check against Core.ValidSources and an exception can be be thrown if it is null.

A message can be logged to the Console as well as log file stateing that the user must configure
batch priorities before it can be used from the commandline ( as in batch mode a message box would probably be a bad idea ).
Could also have the GUI warn about not having priorites set for Interactive/Batch - and that Batch must be set for commandline usage.
