Post Processing from ts to another container format.

[Peter0510]

I know this is a bit old but can someone explain where %xml% and %ffmpeg% come from in jeffski10's bat file?

I understand that %ffmpeg% is the path to the executable but where is the variable set?

Also %xml%? What is this and where is it set?

Many Thankls for any help!

OK I have got a bit further, xml is a variable set to the path to xml.exe executable which is available from here:http://xmlstar.sourceforge.net/ so I can set this and the path to ffmpeg.exe at the beginning of the batch file. I have also corrected a small typo in comment section of the call to ffmpeg.
So it now looks like this:

Code: Select all

:Convert_Radio

echo Radio Conversion Utility 
echo. 
echo Started Processing 
echo %date% %time% 

REM First do the tags

set xml=C:\Bat\xml.exe
set ffmpeg=C:\Bat\ffmpeg.exe

pushd %~dp1

copy "%~dpn1.ARG" "xmlsel.ARG"


%xml% sel -t -v Recording/Title "xmlsel.ARG">mp3title.txt
%xml% sel -t -v Recording/Description "xmlsel.ARG">mp3description.txt
%xml% sel -t -v Recording/ProgramStartTime "xmlsel.ARG">mp3date.txt
%xml% sel -t -v Recording/ChannelDisplayName "xmlsel.ARG">mp3channel.txt

set /P mp3title=<mp3title.txt
set /P mp3description=<mp3description.txt
set /P mp3date=<mp3date.txt
set mp3date=%mp3date:~0,10%
set mp3year=%mp3date:~0,4%
set /P mp3channel=<mp3channel.txt
set "mp3fulltitle=%mp3title% %mp3date%"

REM Convert to MP3

%ffmpeg% -y -i "%~dpn1.ts" -vn -ar 44100 -ac 2 -ab 160k -f mp3 -id3v2_version 3 -metadata genre="Podcast" -metadata title="%mp3fulltitle%" -metadata artist="%mp3channel%" -metadata 

service_name="%mp3channel%" -metadata album_artist="%mp3channel%" -metadata album="%mp3title%" -metadata comment="%mp3description%" -metadata creation_time="%mp3date%" -metadata 

date="%mp3year%" -metadata track=1 "%~dpn1.mp3"


REM del /q xmlsel.ARG
REM del /q mp3title.txt
REM del /q mp3description.txt
REM del /q mp3date.txt
REM del /q mp3channel.txt

popd %~dp1

Ah, sorry, I must not have posted the full file so it missed off the programs from the top.

I'm actually just in the processing of moving this to vbscript as it handles the xml natively.
