[campcaster-support] importing files - Airtime Support Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

import

Hi

I enjoyed Ferenc's tutorial video. Unfortunately, the bit about mass
importing of audio files doesn't work for me!

The script in opt/campcaster/bin isn't the same as the one in the video
(I'm running Campcaster Kotor and installed it via Synaptic Package
Manager). I've tried using it in Terminal and doing the desktop launcher
thing, but without success.

Any hints and tips? (I'm running the latest Ubuntu)

Thanks
Jimmy

It's not mine; it's Micz's.

Yes, the script has been renamed and works a bit differently. Now it's
sudo /opt/campcaster/bin/campcaster-import -l file [file ...]
or
sudo /opt/campcaster/bin/campcaster-import -c file [file ...]

The first version makes link(s) to the file(s), the second version makes
copies of them inside Campcaster's own storage. Copying is useful when
the file is on a CD or USB stick etc. You can also use --link and
--copy instead of -l and -c. Sorry about the documentation -- it will
be updated eventually. Smile

You can get usage information about any script in /opt/campcaster/bin
(and almost all commands in Linux) by typing " --help".

For the desktop link, change the Command field to
gksudo /opt/campcaster/bin/campcaster-import -l
(or -c).

Thanks Ferenc ... sorry Micz! I'll try your suggestions and let you know
how it goes.

Hi Ferenc

I still haven't cracked this. For example, the files I want to mass import
are in home/music/Bellowhead/Burlesque/

How should I put this into Terminal? And how do I make the Desktop
Launcher work?

Thanks

Jimmy

sudo /opt/campcaster/bin/campcaster-import -l \
$HOME/music/Bellowhead/Burlesque

You create the desktop launcher, and then drag-and-drop files onto it
from the file manager.

Hi Ferenc

The terminal script works ... thanks.

As for the desktop launcher, possibly my problem is I don't know enough
about Linux. I've created the Desktop launcher and pasted the command you
sent me into the "Command" line. This is what I pasted in ...

sudo /opt/campcaster/bin/campcaster-import -l \

But when I drag and drop onto the new launcher, nothing at all happens.
Any ideas?

Jimmy

The Command should be

gksudo /opt/campcaster/bin/campcaster-import -l

there is no \ at the end, though that probably did not hurt; sudo
instead of gksudo is the problem. Check the "run in terminal" box; it
works without that, but you won't be able to see the progress of the
file import. If you are using Kubuntu instead of Ubuntu, you need
"kdesu" instead of "gksudo".

Hi Ferenc

I pasted your command into the launcher and that gets me a little further
... I drag and drop a folder onto the new icon, I have to supply my Linux
root password, then the terminal window flashes up and then vanishes. The
import doesn't happen. I'm using Ubuntu 6.10.

I can do this using Terminal with the command you sent yesterday, but I'd
really like to get drag and drop working as it's much easier to
demonstrate to people. So if you have any more ideas ...

On another question, is there a way to stop Ubuntu asking me for my root
password when doing mass imports? In a radio station setting, I wouldn't
want to give out my root password ... but people would need it to do mass
imports ...

The good news is that I have got Campcaster working with two sound cards
and I begin to see how it all works!

Thanks

Jimmy

When I use the command you sent yesterday in Terminal, that works, but I
still have to supply my password.

hey i have write a zenity script for Campcaster mass import utility


#!/bin/bash

# mostra la finestra di selezione file e assegna il file scelto
# che zenity manda allo standard output alla variabile "filescelto"
# notare i "backtick" -> ` `
if zenity --question --text="Vuoi importare più file in contemporanea nella libreria?\n
Prima di avviare l'importazione assicurati che i meta dati delle tracce siano il più possibile completi e corretti!"; then
    filescelto=`zenity --file-selection --directory --title="Seleziona la cartella da importare"`
else
exit
fi
# prende il valore di ritorno del comando precedente
ritorno=$?

# controlla se si è premuto OK o Annulla
if [ "$ritorno" -ne 0 ]; then
  # è stato premuto annulla o chiusa la finestra
  exit 1
else
$countfiles=$(ls "$filescelto" | wc -l)
  # è stato premuto OK
  xterm -hold -e sh /usr/lib/campcaster/bin/campcaster-import -l "$filescelto"
fi

save this in a file "importer.sh"
create a "sender"(?) and link the script!

Micz Flor
