I've had a look into this and managed to replicate here. Unfortunately it's a bug - the readXML response is not behaving correctly for fields of type Timecode. I've logged in our bug tracking system. The only thing I can suggest at the moment is to store that value in a different field type (eg, unicode), and then if you are interacting with another external system convert back to a timecode on the way out. I am trying to change several metadata fields of an asset in FinalCutServer using a ReadXML response reading an xml file containing the requests in the required format. This works well for all requests affecting metadata fields of type string. However, requests for fields containing a datatype timestamp are simply ignored. Since I could not really find an example for a timecode request anywhere, I have derived the naming and format of such a request from a WriteXML created xml file out of FinalCutServer. Here is an example of what I try to read in to change the corresponding metadata field: <?xml version="1.0"?> <FinalCutServer> <request reqId="setMd" entityId="/asset/97"> <params> <mdValue fieldName="Play Start" dataType="timecode">01:00:00;22</ mdValue> </params> </request> </FinalCutServer> This email sent to matt.m@apple.com This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
