Hi Steipal,

First of all, thank you for your hard work on your software, it's very helpful for me everyday !

I'm trying to populate a variable from a XML file that come with the video file and I can't figure this out. Here's is the string I've used :
$stripws($between("%s_original_name%.evs.xml", "<XT_IN_TC_str>", "</XT_IN_TC_str>"))
When I use a external file, I can't seem to get it working.

If I put the content of the XML file in the string like this :
$stripws($between("<XT_IN_TC_str>01:00:00;00 </XT_IN_TC_str>", "<XT_IN_TC_str>", "</XT_IN_TC_str>"))
It work great.

I've also tried to put the path directly in the string, but I can't seem to make it work.
When you have a chance, if you could help me on this one,

Thanks again !

Hi scharette,

The $between() function takes a string, it does not read a file just because the string might also be a file name. Please take a look at the $read() function which will read the file into a user variable. F.ex: $read("%s_original_path%\s_original_name%.evs.xml")

Awesome, got it working, thanks for your help !

Now, the only thing I was wondering about, is there a way for the folder monitor to ignore his history ? What I'm trying to do is, when a file is transcoded, I want to delete the original file, but, It might happen that another file with the exact same name show up again and now it's being ignored because I thing it's in the folder history,

Thanks !

Hi,
Yes, I'm agree it will be very useful to avoid this cache. The good thing would be to choose in monitor folder to to not use cache. Maybe on next version
Cheers

Yes, this will be possible in the next version. It was supposed to go into the 0.9.0 release but the implementation was bad and it's now rewritten.
