I had been planning to write an XSL transformation to go from the MJ schema to the SNL schema, but this sounds easier. Is there a sample CSV somewhere?
Whew, you lost me! I don't have programming skills (and very limited scripting skills), so a CSV is all I could deal with. The default "Export entire library" option in MC gives a lot of information, so I imported the resulting CSV into Excel to get rid of the extraneous stuff. You also need to add columns for which SNL "List" and which SNL "Player" the entries are associated with. You can then import the edited CSV into SNL.
Ah, I had never seen that functionality in Girder - looks like it will do the trick!
Yep, it's handy. There is an example GML included with the Girder distribution. I just modified that example to execute the "mjextman.exe" commands that I needed to activate my numeric album listing.
I'm still a bit stuck using SuperNudelist, though. I've been using the sample XML library file that is available just to get started. It imports fine, but SNL wants me to define a device before I can create a ccf.
Yes, you've got it. SNL expects the IR codes to exist in your input CCF before you run SNL to build the list. In general, the steps I follow are:
1. Create a CCF that contains my IR commands for MC. This becomes the basis for the SNL "Device".
2. Export my MC library & manipulate the data into a CSV. The CSV needs columns for the SNL "Device" and the SNL "List Name".
3. Open SNL and create the SNL "Device". Assign the IR commands as appropriate from your CCF in #1. Make sure it has the same name you used in step #2.
4. Create the SNL "List". Make sure it has the same name as step #2. Import the CSV you generated in step #2. Setup all the options for the list.
5. Finally, generate the final CCF with SNL.
Hope this helps a bit. SNL is fairly obtuse to start with, but it's very handy! Check out
