Custom Column script no longer working.

[highend]

Change the line to: return <cc_item>;
C:\Test_Video.mp4 is shown for that test video file in the cc?

[Max_T]

Yep, that works.

[highend]

Then I have no clue why you don't see anything in the cc...
My suggestion would be: Write a script that uses the mediainfo output to write that info into the XY tag database and retrieve the cc values from it.
This will work (as the text ... script already showed) and it would make info retrieval 10.000% faster...

[Max_T]

Thank you for the suggestion and your time.

Unfortunately I don't know how to write a script like that. I don't really know much about scripting and particularly not XY's scripting format.
The code I had I copied from another script that was trying to get video length. I played around with a few things to get to the code that I had.

What's the most interesting thing about this entire situation, is that it did work at one point, when I created the column. Sadly I don't know at what point it stopped working or why, what caused it or what I did that caused it to stop working.

Go into your main video folder

Run this script:

Code: Select all

    $mediainfo  = "C:\Users\DVoid\Documents\MediaInfo\MediaInfo.exe";
    $videoFiles = quicksearch("/n /types={:Video}", 3:="s");
    end (!$videoFiles), "No video file(s) found, aborted!";

    $log = "";
    foreach($file, $videoFiles, <crlf>, "e") {
        status "Processing: " . gpc($file, "file"), , "progress";
        $log .= regexreplace(runret("""$mediainfo"" --Inform=Video;%Encoded_Library% ""$file"""), "\r?\n") . <crlf>;
        wait 1;
    }
    text formatlist($log, "sed", <crlf>);

Post the output and additionally, compile a list of terms you want to keep in it.

E.g.:

Code: Select all

Lavc58.17.100 libx264
x264 - core 133 r2339 585324f
x264 - core 155 r2901 7d0ff22

And _my_ compiled list would only be:

Code: Select all

libx264
x264

I'm getting an error running that script.
EDIT: Tried it in a couple different folders, they all give the same error. I thought maybe there was an issue with reading the codecs on some of the videos, because the %Encoded_Library% returns nothing for some videos.

But, the example output you gave is ideally how I'd want it.

Let me guess, executing this:

Code: Select all

text regexreplace(runret("""C:\Users\DVoid\Documents\MediaInfo\MediaInfo.exe"" --Inform=Video;%Encoded_Library% ""<cc_item>"""), "\r?\n");

will lead to the same error?

Yeah, getting the same error.
I'm seeing what is the potential issue.

There's the reason your cc column doesn't work anymore...

Open a command prompt with admin privileges, execute this line:

Code: Select all

regsvr32 "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\vbscript.dll"

Do you get a blablabla succeeded.
message window?

If yes, try the script line from the last post again.
Still the same error?

Weird thing; that file is missing. I got an error trying to reregister it and it appears the file is gone.

These are the codecs it returns for this one particular folder. If it just reports the first part, like the example you gave, then that'll be good enough.

Thank you very much for all your time and effort. I appreciate all your effort very much. The script is perfect. Thank you again.
