rdimport will successfully import these files using the form rdimport  [options] [GROUP] *.flac

I can only think that the brackets are being interpreted by the script in some way and sending bad information to rdimport.

Hi Dave,

have you tried rdimport  [options] [GROUP] *.flac ?

or is it falling down in the      --metadata-pattern='%a - %t.flac'

Are you using CentOS or something else?

Do the flac files have metadata?

From memory [] brackets are not usually a problem

regards

Robert

Hi all,
I'm about to use rdimport to import a couple of music libraries into Rivendell via a shell script. In testing it works great except for the fact rdimport does not like file names containing an open bracket ([). For example, if I enter the file name using a double quote as "'N Sync - This I Promise You [Radio Edit].flac" it will fail. If I use singles quotes and escape the single quote in the file name it also fails. '\''N Sync - This I Promise You [Radio Edit].flac'. I've tried escaping the bracket to no avail. The only way I can import these files via rdimport is to rename the file without the brackets. I can import files with brackets manually via the rdlibrary GUIwith no problem. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Dave
