Extracting Metadata from DVBLink

mcebuddy2x · June 12, 2017, 5:10pm

Thanks to wisermouse for this script, it extracts the metadata in a .ARG (ArgusTV) format:

Step 1: Add the following parameters in your profile:

PreMetaCustomCommandPath=C:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe
PreMetaCustomCommandParameters=c:\code\dvblink.pl %sourcefile%
PreMetaCustomCommandHangPeriod=0
PreMetaCustomCommandCritical=true

Step 2: To use this you just need to copy the code below into a file dvblink.pl as configured in your profile above:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use XML::Simple;

use XML::LibXML::PrettyPrint;
use XML::LibXML::Iterator;
use XML::Writer;

{
	(my $file) = @ARGV;
	
	print 'searching for file =' . $file . "\n\r";

Thanks for ancall for this script, it extracts the metadata into a XML file:

PreMetaCustomCommandHangPeriod=0
PreMetaCustomCommandCritical=true
