[seemingly abandonware] iPod manager
Hello all, longtime user of foo_dop, but I've never run into a bug that affected me until now. I'm hesitant to cause it a bug, actually, because I'm not actually sure what's happening, but here goes. I tag my converted videos with AtomicParsley . A fork of AtomicParsley that has been updated to 0.9.3 is available here as source. 0.9.3 allows for the addition of content rating (mpaa and tv ratings such as R, TV-MA, etc.). This was useless because iPhones didn't recognize content ratings that were added by 3rd party programs, only ones that were embedded in official iTunes downloads. Now it appears they do recognize them, as of firmware 3.1.3. I find this very useful, as it prevents my younger siblings from watching shows they should not. Like Dexter o_O. foo_dop seems to hide these content ratings from iTunes/iPhones. When I transfer a song to my iPod using foo_dop, content ratings disappear from iTunes, and my iPod can no longer hid items based on content rating. Right clicking on a video file and choosing get info in iTunes restores the rating. So. I'm not sure this is a bug in foo_dop, a bug in AtomicParsley, a bug in iTunes, or some perfect storm of trouble, but there it is. iPod Touch 2G 3.1.3 under iTunes 9.0.3.15x64, Windows 7 Ultimate x64, foobar2000 1.0.1, foo_dop 0.6.6.9, AtomicParsley 0.9.3. AtomicParsley 0.9.3 is provided here (http://www.mediafire.com/?txmogl3tmyj ), built from source using cygwin on Windows. Several cygwin .dlls are provided in the zip as the executable will not run without them present in the environment. The following is a batch file that can run from the AtomicParsley directory that will take a drag/drop mp4 and tag it as TV-MA, and then output the file in the AtomicParsley directory.@SET atomicparsley=AtomicParsley.exe @SET batchp=%~dp0 :Start @IF "%~1"=="" GOTO End :Tagging %atomicparsley% "%~1" --contentRating "TV-MA" -o "%batchp%%~n1.mp4" :Loop @SHIFT @GOTO Start :End @PAUSE
