Programming :: Getting A Music File Metadata Editing Software?
Jan 8, 2010I want to make a program that edits music file ID3 tags, for example: overwrites all "artist" tags for a list of files with other one. I know some c++,python and shell scripting.
- how can I get just the metadata from a mp3 file? Mplayer shows file metadata before playback, but I could not find a switch for mplayer that displays just the data
- how can I edit the metadata?
- What libraries should I check out if I want to implement this with C++ or python?
- What about "custom" metadata tags? In the foobar2000 media player for m$ i could make my own metadata tags (like "record label"). How can these be edited & added?

Fedora :: Script For Collecting Metadata On Modified Files
Nov 30, 2010I have a simple scripting question. I am trying to list all files that have been modified in the last day and then collect metadata on those files. This command is going to be run on a number of nodes via ssh so I would like to append the hostname to start of each line (the below example has blade1 as the hostname). As you can see the loop is splitting the ls command out onto a separate line for each value. What I need to do is keep the `ls -ld` output all on one line and have the hostname echoed in front of each line.
for i in `find /var -mtime -1 | xargs ls -ld`; do echo `hostname` $i; done
blade1 drwxr-xr-x.
blade1 2
blade1 user
blade1 group
blade1 4096
blade1 Nov
blade1 30
blade1 08:55
blade1 /var/cache/gdm/user

Sep 2, 2010Let's say I have file A, and using 'ln -s A B', I have B. When I open, edit and save B, now B is not symlink anymore. It's just a new copy of A. Is this expected behavior? I use Mac OS X, and I wonder it's common in UNIX. In this case, is there any way to keep B as a (soft link) to A? Or, make B as the hard link would be the only way to solve this issue? What's the advantage of using soft link than hard link? The editor that I use is 'TextMate' on Mac.

Jan 9, 2011I want to edit text files on Linux server from Windows, using text editor like Notepad++ or UltraEdit.I've managed to do so using WinSCP. It can edit files remotely and offers me to choose local application to open those files.That is exactly what I need, but when I hit ctrl-s (not every time, in about 50% cases), it waits for around 10 seconds, alerts that connection has failed, and offers me to "abort". When I click abort, it instantly reconnect and save file.

Jun 4, 2010I created a quicktime .mov movie file in iMovie on a Mac (that is not available anymore) and I want to 1) play & 2) edit the movie. I'd be happy to use a different format if I can figure out how to change it. Has anyone else done this?
Edit: If you skip down to post #16 you'll see I discovered it actually isn't a matter of editing a .mov file, but it turns out I don't have a properly exported quicktime .mov file. Instead I have (I'm not sure but I think its iMovie ver. 4.) 1) an .iMovieProj text file that lists the cuts by frame in and frame out, 2) an .mov file that isn't the complete file I thought it was and 3) a folder of all the clips that are in Apple's Quicktime DV format. In this thread people taught me about transcoding from the Apple's Quicktime DV format to liberated formats easier to work with. Given this knowledge and since I have a list of the cuts I'm asking if people could recommend a Linux video editor that would be easy to enter the tedious frame in, frame out info so I could reassemble the video.
Ubuntu :: Gedit Slow When Editing PHP Files?
Jul 10, 2010This started a while back... but I'm not sure when. Whenever I'm editing one of my PHP files it takes 1+ seconds for it to write the letter I type. I tried it on HTML and it's perfectly fine. I tried going to .gconf/apps and deleting the gedit-2 file, but it didn't help. And I tried disabling the File Browser Pane plugin and it did nothing. And one more thing, it might just be some PHP files, because about half of mine are really slow like that, but the other half is perfectly fine.

Ubuntu :: Basic Video Editing - Adding Transitions / Effects To AVI Files
Oct 29, 2010I decided to try Ubuntu 10.10 after I had enough audio driver errors on my Acer netbook ( it came with windows wtf why errors) to drive me crazy. Anyway since I installed Ubuntu its ran better then when it was new my question arises here tho. I need to do some basic video editing (combine a few avi files, add transitions, add effects, etc) I don't need some end all to do all editor. just something basic like the windows. Video editor thingy was. So far I've tried pitivi which crashes, open soft which also seems to dislike me, and kdenlive which shows some promise but seems to be slow and needs libmp3lame.
I tried to install it and while my software manager thing says its installed kden says its not. I wanted to try lives editor but my terminal abilities are almost non-existent. Is there an editor I haven't tried that could be what I'm looking for? Is there a way to fix kden? I just want to edit the video and put it on Facebook. I'm willing to learn and I'm not a computer idiot just a Linux one. I really don't want go back to windows cause ill have to reinstall it and even when I do that with the disc Acer sent me windows makes a screeching noise even when then sound is off and locks up.
Ubuntu Networking :: Nfs Locking Files - Cannot Open For Editing, Or Open Firefox / Thunderbird?
Dec 12, 2010Server - Ubuntu 10.04.1 lts
Client - Kubuntu 10.10
When I try to open any nfs-mounted file using OpenOffice, I get a pop-up window titled "Document in Use". The text of the message is:
"Document file 'abcde.odt' is locked for editing by:
Unknown User
Open document read-only or open a copy of the document for editing." I then have three options - <Open Read-Only>, <Open Copy>, & <Cancel> If I cp any of these files from the mounted directory to my home dir (not mounted), I can open them without problem.Also, my firefox & thunderbird date are in this mounted directory as well (sym links to ~dan/.mozilla & ~dan/.thunderbird). Both of these apps hang when trying to open, leaving two processes behind that need to be manually killed. Again, cp'ing the data out of the nfs-mounted dir onto a local dir resolves the issue, so I am 100% confident there is nothing missing or corrupted in the firefox &/or thunderbird data...
relevant entry in /etc/fstab:
server:/nfs/dan/Documents /home/dan/Documents nfs defaults 0 0
relevant entry in server's /etc/exports:
/nfs/dan/Documents client(rw)
Ubuntu :: Grub2 Editing - Editing Directly To /boot/grub/grub.cfg?
Jun 6, 2010I have an old laptop that I installed EasyPeasy Lucid on. I have never used Grub2 as my other Ubuntu installs still use Grub Legacy. I have studied all the tutorials which instruct that the grub.cfg file should not be edited directly.This old laptop has one of the dreaded Intel graphics chips for which the kernel automatically loads the i915 module. Of course (like a multitude of others with Intel graphics and Lucid) I booted into a black screen but knew the workaround was to enable mode setting through grubI used the

Ubuntu :: Tool For "Batch-editing" Several Files?
Feb 13, 2010Is there a good tool for "batch-editing" a number of files non-interactively? Replace a string with another and add a couple of lines in several files...
sed would've been ideal, but AFAIK, sed(1) can't work on normal files. Is it possible to get ed(1) to execute a sed-like script on a file/number of files? Is there perhaps a cross between sed(1) and ed(1) out there?
Call me lazy, but it just seems such a waste to have to cat(1) the file through sed(1) and to a temp-file, and then overwrite the original with the temp-file...
