Hi List,

Anyone scripting VLC?

The following folder actions-script don’t works, in a way that it opens VLC, but then it waits for VLC to end the conversion, which never happens, so the error happens in the shell script-part, that should handle the VLC-part..

on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items

set the_ConvFolder to this_folder

set the_shortTimestamp to ""

set the_ConvDone to "0"

set the_newPath to ""

set userBitDepth to "24"

set userSampleRate to "48000"

set shortSampleRate to „48k"

set the_DestFLD to choose folder with prompt "Bitte das Ziel-Verzeichnis auswählen!" without multiple selections allowed and invisibles

set the_shortTimestamp to (do shell script "date '+%y%m%d %H%M%S‘")

set the_ConvTimeStamp to ("_Converted " & the_shortTimestamp)

set theFiles to paragraphs of (do shell script "find " & POSIX path of the_ConvFolder & " -iname '*.wav' -or -iname '*.aif' -or -iname '*.mp3' -or -iname '*.m4a' -or -iname '*.mov' -or -iname '*.ogg' -or -iname '*.raw'")

tell application „Finder"

if (count items of theFiles) is greater than 0 then

make new folder at (the_DestFLD) with properties {name:the_ConvTimeStamp}

repeat with anItem in theFiles

set userShortFormat to ("_" & shortSampleRate & userBitDepth)

set the_newPath to (the_DestFLD & the_ConvTimeStamp)

set the_ItemInfo to info for anItem

set the_oldFileName to name of the_ItemInfo

set the_newFileName to (the_oldFileName & userShortFormat & ".wav“)

set the_newFile to (the_newPath & ":" & the_newFileName) as string

set the_uBD to ((userBitDepth * userSampleRate * 2) / 1000) do shell script "/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC" & " '" & quoted form of POSIX path of anItem & "' --sout='#transcode{vcodec= none,acodec=wav,ab=" & the_uBD & ",channels=2,samplerate=" & userSampleRate & "}:standard{mux=wav,access=file,dst=" & quoted form of POSIX path of the_newFile & "}‘"

set the_NewInfo to info for the_newFile as alias

set the_ConvDone to the_ConvDone + 1

delete (anItem) as POSIX file

end repeat

else

display dialog „No file to convert!“

end if

end tell

end adding folder items to
