Hi Thomas,
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.
regards,
Matt

Dear list!
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>
The file is read but the the metadata field is not changed.
I would appreciate any suggestions how to get this to work.
Thanks!
