hey buddy, forgive me if I have asked this, but each time I use the perl command(from within jriver) multiple command windows open instead of just one. it is annoying! how to fix this?

jmon e you out there?

jmone · « **Reply #51 on:** April 01, 2016, 03:09:22 am »

Sorry - I've been away with work. I'll have a look this weekend. Can you give me an example of what you are doing so I can replicate?
Thanks

hey buddy, when i highlight/clipboard the tracks and launch a perl shell , instead of one window opening(cmd window), dozens of them open...almost as if a seperate window were opening for each track

jmone · « **Reply #53 on:** April 09, 2016, 05:04:40 am »

I think I've found the issue. I had my script suppress multiple windows but it only works while my script is running. If you had more than a few tracks selected my script was finishing before MC had sent the cmds for each track selected so you would get multiple windows. I've added a 3 seconds delay in my script that should prevent additional windows opening (unless you have such a long list that 3 seconds is not enough).

Can you try this version? In your MCUtils folder replace the MCUtils_Plugin.exe and .ahk with the version attached.

If it works I'll update the installer to pull down this version.

Thanks
Nathan

theoctavist · « **Reply #54 on:** April 12, 2016, 10:24:50 pm »

thank you buddy! one thing I did notice as soon as i called the script is that two command windows opened .

the other thing is i got some plebe error i cant figure out but have to fix before i can test the latest version

Uncaught exception from user code:

that is curious. when i try to open the url above I cannot do so, it behaves as if I keep inputting the wrong user/pw (when I am certain of its accuracy as ive just put it in) the only thing I can think of is that i have adblock running on my router(running shibby tomato firmware) (with pixelserv) , that calls a HOSTS file in the adblock.ini .so maybe I need to whitelist the MCWS pop up? if so what is the URL? I guess it might be being blocked. http://prntscr.com/arljm5

Ok - Have a look in your "....\MCUtils" folder for "config-custom.txt" and open it up. You should see three lines for MCWS_server, MCWS_username, and MCWS_password. Do they all contain the "correct" login details? If not change them and save the file. See how you then go.

Having a look at this and am absorbing the various advice and guidance. Made it to MrC's dropbox account and found 3 separate READMEs in the MCUtils_stable.zip file.

Using some pdf editing software, I've put the 3 files together and added bookmarks to the various headings in the document, so that the reader can now navigate the compiled document by hot link. Plus, a blank page has been taken out and the headings numbered to some kind of numerical order. I've left the base content alone. For example, 3.10 reads:

Quote

3.10 Usage Instructions for the pscriptor.pl script
The pscriptor script will
XXX

which is what you'll find in the original document (apart from the heading number).
Also, the table of contents in section 3 has been renumbered to be consistent with a compiled, single document.

Don't know if this is so old that it's of no current value but if not, refer the attached for reference / info.

MrC has rewritten his utilities and enriched them!

Thus, the new scriptlet MakeCatalog allows one to create an html catalog like the one attached (see also the pic)

I created it with this simple command:
perl pscriptor.pl -S MakeCatalog --caption "[artist] • [album] • [date] • [album artist]" --size medium -V
( And before that, I had selected 18 composers in a view of my classical music in MC: ~limit=18,1,[Composer] )

HiFiTubes · « **Reply #64 on:** June 18, 2016, 02:21:43 pm »

Why doesn't JRiver offer any interesting Track Info plugins that pull data. The ones included with MC21 were around at MC10 and are frankly, incredibly dated. MCUtils seems overly complex for the basic user.

Too bad there PM Flow Track Info went defunct.

MrC is working on a script to get information from TMDB in a very flexible manner.
It works great for movies, but the part for TV series is not yet developed.
As soon as everything is handled fine, an update of the utils will be available.
The attached pic gives an idea of the kind of information that can retrieved.

The attached pics give an idea of the kind of information that can retrieved.

The script is called tmdb.pl.

Here are the fields that can queried, independently or together, provided the IMDb ID or the TMDB ID is already stored in MC:
# TMDB Fields ---------------- MC Fields
TMDB:: Field: actors = Actors (or ActorAsCharacter, depending on the choice)   # list, MC stock field
TMDB:: Field: alttitles = Alternate Titles      # list
TMDB:: Field: budget = Budget          # string, MC stock field
TMDB:: Field: credits = Credits          # list, MC stock field
TMDB:: Field: countries = Country         # list, MC stock field
TMDB:: Field: daterel = Date (release)      # date, MC stock field
TMDB:: Field: director = Director         # list, MC stock field
TMDB:: Field: genre = Genre            # list, MC stock field
TMDB:: Field: imdbid = IMDb ID         # string, MC stock field
TMDB:: Field: name = Name            # string, MC stock field
TMDB:: Field: origlang = Original Language   # string
TMDB:: Field: origtitle = Original Title      # string, MC stock field
TMDB:: Field: overview = Description         # large, MC stock field
TMDB:: Field: popularity = Popularity         # string, MC stock field
TMDB:: Field: revenue = Gross Revenue      # string, MC stock field
TMDB:: Field: rid = TMDB ID     # string
TMDB:: Field: runtime = Runtime         # string
TMDB:: Field: spokenlang = Spoken Languages      # list
TMDB:: Field: tagline = Tag Line         # string, MC stock field
TMDB:: Field: tmdburl = TMDB URL     # string

Covers can be retrieved as well.

TMDB can be queried in any language.
This allows one to get covers and descriptions in any specific language (when they are present in the database).

8139david · « **Reply #70 on:** June 26, 2016, 04:26:58 pm »

Moreover, an additional script (RunCommand.pm) allows one to run the tmdb.pl script with Original Language as parameter.
Automatically, then, all films selected in the view in MC get the chosen TMDB/MC fields updated in their original language.
This is very nice for covers and descriptions!

8139david · « **Reply #71 on:** July 06, 2016, 04:33:25 pm »

Waouw, cool stuff.
Thanks for your help.
But, my main purpose is to organize my music tag.
Discogs would be a great source to track metadata and tags for music
IMDB/TMDB is a great source for video. I'm not too much in video right nw, I just go to my independant video club and watch DVD/BR on his recommendation

I heard that Discogs could be reatched via Foobar. Maybe a half-way solution :
Tag via Foobar, then paly through JIVER, but a bit painfull as process.

Any idea to solve my problem ?

8139david · « **Reply #74 on:** July 12, 2016, 12:05:02 pm »

You can use MCUtils to access Discogs

Hello all,

I was just wondering if others are using this still? I am not able to get the tags written with the discogs data. The debug and verbose output all looks fine but the tags just do not change. I am not running any excludes, etc. Is there anything else I can troubleshoot?

Thanks!

OK, so just tried reinstalling everything in case I was doing something wrong before: MCUtils (tried all the versions in Dropbox: MCUtils_1_03.zip, the version marked "stable," 1.04), Perl (64 bit portable), redid the Custom-Config file, followed all the directions to the letter, and now I can't even get the "install_Win.bat" file to work properly, as I get a "Stopping: 'install' failed for 'Bit::Vector'" (see below).

Figured out the issue I was having: it has to do with unzipping my Perl folder onto my desktop and then having the folder path quoted. Normally this isn't a problem, but since my desktop's name has a space in it (i.e., Users>Tim McCoy>Desktop), the folder had to be put into my C drive, where it was renamed "myperl." Apparently, Perl Makefiles choke on Windows systems when its destination path contains white space or other shell meta-characters. FYI.

Not sure if anyone is still using this or not, but the Composer field is no longer populating from amg. Any ideas?

Absinthe · « **Reply #83 on:** August 25, 2019, 09:23:56 pm »

Ive delved through the instructions and commentary regarding MCUtils and have muddled through iterations of mistakes and misunderstandings on my part but in the end have finally succeeded in updating most of my audio tags with data with the exception of the AMG and Discogs album ratings. With the other special fields used by the two sites, I was able to figure the fields that had to be added to the library by parsing the script files (awg.pl / discogs.pl) but this has not helped me with the ratings. Anyone who can shed some light on what / how to include this data in my tags would be most appreciated as I want to update my theater view accordingly and like having this info in the audio template!

Moe · « **Reply #84 on:** August 26, 2019, 11:02:56 am »

If I am understanding you correctly, I think I can help.

You can see all the fields being used in the config files for the respective script. As an example, for AMG and Discogs look in the \MCUtils\data\config\ folder and find amg+discogs.txt

You'll see two lines

AMG:: Field: rating = AMG Rating # integer, raw AMG rating
Discogs:: Field: rating = Discogs Rating # float, raw Discogs rating

This tells you that you need to add two fields "AMG Rating" and "Discogs Rating"

Huh, then there must be something else amiss as these are the two new library fields I added and neither one populates. I tried the script with a debug dump to file and its attached below. It clearly shows an AMG Rating for the particular title to be 8 but this field never shows up in the MC field AMG Rating ? ? ?

scratch that! After some more scratching and playing around, I changed the field to lower case (i.e. "amg rating") and viola, it appears from the mist. Thanks Moe, your numerous posts, comments and corrections have helped immensely in my endeavors

Well, almost gold, discogs is still not populating but given that when I submitted the tracks for updating via the discogs.pl script, it came back "skipping file with empty Discogs Release ID:" I finally had to use the --rid option and this time it populated four tracks with titles and albums from another artist. Checking the actual web page, these song titles were not listed so methinks Discogs is having some issues. Anyone else having problems with discogs.pl or Discogs in general?

Ok, this issue has been fixed. It turns out that the amg+discogs.txt (configuration file) excluded the Discogs ratings. A simple edit to the text file and all is well. Since I also typically pull the Artist bio I included this option in the AMG call. Thanks again Moe for pointing my nose at the right file!

OK, last question for the evening. I can get the discogs.pl script to pull the artist name but not the artistid. This is needed to pull the discogs artist bio. Is the artistid field supported and if so, what magic words are needed to get it to populate MC?

Great day to all of you,

In search of scraping Amg and Discogs data as p.e. review and descriptions on albums.
My goal is to update my Album template and showing this data when selecting the album, as within this very popular other post on the forum :-)

I'm trying to setup MCUtils, but after multiple attempts I'm always stuck at this message,
I did also as suggested within this MCUtils post, to manually install the components which was successful
As also i made a shortcut to make sure the MCUtils directory is opened when launching the portableshell batfile.

Anyone has an idea or clue what to correct, replace or change in order to get the scripts running ?
Thanks in advance for your help:

Thanks to both of you for your kind reaction.

Now i can continue my 'mission' in order to get these missing data scraped.

EDIT: turns out that I had a several year old MCUtils folder that I unzipped the latest over that caused all sorts of problems. Don't mind me...

Hey Marra! Are you still out there? I was wondering if you still wanted help getting the bio blurbs?

Yes I'm still interested in getting bio blurbs but I am having trouble getting MCUtils running on new computer. I surprised myself by getting it functional the first time. Do you think I can do it again? Struggling ggrrrr! How do you copy error messages from command line? Away for a few days and will follow up shortly. Thanks for your support.
