It will not look in subfolders.
I wrote a Perl script to manage my Rivendell imports. I did so because 1)
I want to keep a log
I think it only looks in the folder specified. We have several different
folders for different types of audio, just make a new dropbox rule for
each folder, then whenever audio is copied into that folder, it should
get picked up. If you have told Rivendell to convert from MP3 to WAV
then it
Will rdimport traverse sub folders? Do I need to have all the audio I want to
import in the root of the import folder?
It’s my understanding that rdimport will import mp3 files and read the
metadata. It will also “wrap” the imported mp3 files as a “wav” file. Is this
true as well?
Thanks!!
Hi Phil,
the folders will be on a drive somewhere which you can mount on your
Rivendell machine.
lets call it /home/rd/tempimport
if you create the folder as rd user the permissions should be OK
$ mkdir /home/rd/tempimport
in a command line window something like
find /home/rd/tempimport

Braintrust,
I have a large number of music files I want to import to Riv that are divided
up into folders and subfolders. I’m hoping that there is a way to get rdimport
to process these files, traversing all these subfolders. Is there a way to do
this?

Just a guess here but try setting one to -rwxrw-r-- before putting in

Do files uploaded to dropboxes get deleted after the import is complete?

By default yes, although it is possible to configure one to be 'persistent'
--i.e. source files remain after being imported.
It might be easier to set up the dropbox in rdadmin tick the box
saying Delete source files on import. Sometimes rdimport may have
problems deleting a file if it is owned by someone else. Eg Rivendell
runs as user bob but the files get copied via a samba or nfs share
as user guest.
