Hi there-
I have a script as follows:
osascript \
-e "on run argv" \
-e "set the_file to POSIX file (get item 1 of argv)" \
-e "set the_comment to \"\"" \
-e "tell application \"QuickTime Player\"" \
-e "launch" \
-e "activate" \
-e "stop every movie" \
-e "close every movie saving no" \
-e "open the_file" \
-e "tell movie 1" \
-e "set the_annotation to the
annotation \"Comment\"" \
-e "set the_comment to (get the full
text of the_annotation)" \
-e "end tell" \
-e "close movie 1 saving no" \
-e "quit" \
-e "end tell" \
-e "return the_comment" \
-e "end run" "$FILE"
This works perfectly with .mov and .mp3 files, however it fails with:
execution error: QuickTime Player got an error:
NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4 (1)
when run with a .m4a file. It seems as though there are no
annoatations available to AppleScript with m4a files, has anyone seen
this issue or know of a workaround? (I'm open to using iTunes to try
and retrieve the meta data, does anyone have some sample code to do
that?)
thanks,
sugam
