Hello Bernd,
i have a some big problem to save matadata from playlist.

workflow:

1) selected the track
2) alt + 3 to edit tag
3) modify data
3) click on save meta data tag
3) apply or save

but nothing, PFOA didn't save any changes on tags.


Can you help me please?

can i ask also tell me ${tracktype} what it mean? I had try to pass this variable just to separate song(music) and jingles but nothing was passed to the script.

What PF version are you using?

How are you testing things (to determine that the TAGs are not saved)?
(do you reopen the playlist and click Alt+3 again? If yes what format is your playlist?)

Is the audio file you are editing still playing or loaded to a DJ Player while you are editing the TAGs (or is it may be open by another application)?
(if yes, it might be the case that PF is unable to save the TAG data to a file which is still open)

What is your "Metadata has Priority" setting (see general settings, section 'Meta Data/WaveForm')?
Have you may be enabled the "Never Save anything to Audio Files" option?

However, I am sure it is a pure settings or testing issue and no bug, since in all my tests here it is working as expected.

Goodmorning Bernd,
PFOA is the latest and you are in right i didn't want meaning it was a really a bug but if you remember i just got this kind of problem some times ago

I have make a try now and seemed it was ok.

For ${tracktype}
http://workinradio.net/index.php?__play ... {tracktype}

what value i will exept? at the moment is null

timestamp title artist type
1410425140 Ooh Aah Just A Little Bit Gina G

Thank you

Ps. if you prefer move this discussion in question

I put that in PFOA in stream section and i can take all other data but not ${tracktype} who was empty at all.

I setted jungle for jingles and music for all music library

ok i double checked and i found the problem

thank you for your help

? what was your mistake ?

The ${tracktype} macro will resolve to the defined media entry type, e.g. "Music", "Sweeper", "Jingle" etc. (see below for a complete list).
If that macro can/will be evaluated/available depends in which system event you are using that macro?!
