Re: [RDD] rdimport fails on file names with brackets
I’m going to bulk rename the files and adjust my script accordingly. That seems be the easiest way to go. Thanks for the input.

Re: [RDD] rdimport fails on file names with brackets
The audio filename is going to be xx_001.wav Artist and Title are stored in MySQL [or MariaDB ] where [] are allowed in strings. --set-string-artist=should work with []" <--tested and it does --set-string-title="same" I just checked this on a copy of the same OS. If the *source audio filename* has [] brackets in it rdimport does not work. I tried with wildcard complete and \[ escapes. *BUT* using --set-string-artist= allows [] to be used. I have tried various bash tricks to no avail. I would be for changing the filenames using sed to replace [ with a phrase like 'b4' and ] with a phrase like 'b8' and using the import script to substitute occurrences in the --set-string-artist="" string. Simple enough to use an if then test like if grep -q artist_part_of_filename 'b4' then replace b4 with a [ in the string being used for artist="" Or you can get into mysql and do a global replace where b4 and b8 occurs in the title; Migrating from one library to another can be a challenge. If you have less then 20 you can do them by hand but anything more is a bash proposition or perl or python or whatever rocks your boat! If you go the MySQL route make a copy of the DB before you attempt any changes. regards Robert On 11/07/21 12:59 am, Dave B wrote: I should also note that the title and outcue (set in the script like --set-string-title="my title") may also contain brackets but that doesn't appear to be a problem.

Re: [RDD] rdimport fails on file names with brackets
Square brackets are glob characters in file names (they're a regex list indicator). Maybe try disabling file globbing? That disables all of the file expansion characters. "set -f" to turn off, "set +f" to turn back on.

Re: [RDD] rdimport fails on file names with brackets
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.

Re: [RDD] rdimport fails on file names with brackets
I'm using the full file names because I'm also setting the talk and segue markers and scheduler codes, etc via the script. The files do contain metadata but for some reason rdimport doesn't always read the artist field. I'll try importing some files using wildcards in the filespec (*.flac) and see how that goes.On Jul 9, 2021 9:46 PM, Robert Jeffares wrote: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?

[RDD] rdimport fails on file names with brackets
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.
