Do you need VB to get it running? I keep getting an error about a missing file or something.

that error sounds like that you are entering the wrong type of data for a field.

ie, for episode you are enterting text when you have to enter a number.

I get a "Component 'COMDLG32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid" error message when I try to run iPodTvShow.exe.

you will need the vb6 run time files:

you can get them from:

Awesome program, I just wish you could make it so it didn't create a whole new file, or an option to just overwrite the old file.

well i mworking on that, but i think the option within the win32 port of atomic parsley currently has that option deleted, i may write my own function to do it so you can set a desired output folder too :)

I am the author of AtomicParsley.

GR3G, no matter what, the new file will be completely rewritten. If you use iTunes to set metadata into a video file - guess what - often the same thing will happen. Set an Artist tag into a brand new video file to see what I'm talking about. At least on Mac OS X, a lovely progress bar with "writing tags" shows up (although this depends on where the mdat atom is for iTunes). AtomicParsley is more simplistic - everything will get rewritten.

If you have code that will support direct writing to the file to add metadata depending on where the 'mdat' atom is, I will of course take it & look it over, but I'm not planning on that (and may not ever). I originally started on audio files - so this big ol' penalty doesn't hit me too hard.

qwerty2k,
great job! At the bequest of another developer, the manner of output has been re-implemented. The output to a foo-temp-134 file still remains, but you can specify the name of the tempfile with --output /path now too. Additionally, the whole substandard --writeBack was scrapped in favor of --overWrite. That should do what you want in that it writes out to a variably named temp file and then deletes the original file and renames the temp file to the original. However, given that I am in an admitted beta-state, that is a decision you might want to give users to have a finer granularity of options. There are files on the fringes of the mpeg4 specificaition that the current release of AtomicParsley will ruin. They are rare (and taken care of with code that I have currently implemented, but isn't well tested), but those types of files do exist.

Unfortuately, the output-options code is currently not in the win32 branch. You can of course backport the changes from the main cvs branch into the win32 branch and submit the patches back to the windows developer (Brian Story). I believe his interest lies in feature-parity and bug fixes to my code than implementing new features currently.

That said, do you have a webpage set up for your program? Do you want me to link to it on the main sf.net webpage:

atomicparsley.sourceforge.net

and can I mirror your program as well?

Yup. This was completely a user error. I didn't know that some of the names had to be in quotes in order for the program to work.

Thanks for the great program. I look forward to any updates you can make.

When I press 'Apply', a black screen pops up that says, "'AtomicParsley.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." What is my malfunction, and how do I fix it?

I had this problem too. You have to make sure theat "AtomicParsley.exe" is in the some directory as the files you are editing.

hey, didnt expect this lil program to get the attention of AtomicParsley's creator :D, thanks for the information on the AtomicParsley features :).

well my program is in vb, but i iwll take a look at the AtomicParsley soruce and see about backporting the features into the windows branch, but c/c++ isnt my strongest point ;) (although i do want to brush up on it :D)

feel free to mirror the program, i would be very greatful, no i currently don't have a website for the program either.

i iwll probably release a new version of the gui soon, which means you can edit existing files tags and files tags that are in the lsit to be done, it also fixes not being able to use the program on a file outside the AtomicParsley.exe directory.

qwerty2k,

Any chance on maybe a slightly larger-scale setup? I.e. webpage, setup program (Inno Setup with IStool is an awesome freeware one), and pretty icon? ;)

I can give you a little webspace on my site if you'd need it. A subdomain and FTP access and such.

Josh
