i've written a set of a/s to record & play hd transport streams from an external
firewire hdtv tuner, using apple's f/w SDK's vDVHS...all has been working well,
until tonite...
i ran my playback app, which lists all .m2t files, then for each:
set recFile to (recDir & recFilename) as string
set recFile to POSIX file recFile
tell application "Finder"
set fileDate to modification date of file recFile
set fileSize to ((size of file recFile) / 1.0E+9) as real
end tell
the event log in script editor, shows:
tell application "Finder"
get modification date of file (file
"DVR:dVHS:recordings:Capture_Jan_09_2007__07_59_30_PM.m2t")
missing value
get size of file (file "DVR:dVHS:recordings:Capture_Jan_09_2007__07_59_30_PM.m2t")
4.727465672E+9
end tell
wtf??? the finder's infopane shoes the mod date as date "Tuesday, January 9,
2007 8:55:18 PM" and the same code has been working fine (on 2 different
machines, a g4 powerbook & a duo minimac) until now...now it gives missing value
on a file that definitely has a mod.date:
[tomw@tomsEmachine recordings]$ ls -l Capture_Jan_09_2007__07_59_30_PM.m2t
-rw-r--r-- 1 dvr 502 4727465672 Jan 9 20:55 Capture_Jan_09_2007__07_59_30_PM.m2t
and when i cut the code into another script window:
set recFile to "/Volumes/tem/dVHS/recordings/Capture_Jan_09_2007__07_59_30_PM.m2t"
set recFile to POSIX file recFile
tell application "Finder"
get modification date of file recFile
end tell
the event log gives what i expect:
tell application "Finder"
get modification date of file (file
"DVR:dVHS:recordings:Capture_Jan_09_2007__07_59_30_PM.m2t")
date "Tuesday, January 9, 2007 8:55:18 PM"
end tell
oh wait: when i recompile, i get no error...wtf??? just rebooted, error's back...
