Import media to power bin programmatically

Hi folks,

Do you guys know if it's possible to import medias to power bins with scripts?

I saw in readme that davinci script has a function called AddItemsToMediaPool(item1, item2, ...). Is it possible to use this function to import items to power bins instead of to ordinary bins?

The idea is to make sure that users has the correct files imported before run other scripts.

I'm interested in this too
I'll bring the discussion back.

I tried to use

Code: Select all

var ms = resolve.GetMediaStorage();
ms.AddItemListToMediaPool("E:\\clip\\testimport.mp4");

but it always replies that the file doesn't exist, when in reality it does...


Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks everyone for the kind replies.

"E:\\clip\\testimport.mp4"

Purely a random guess, but maybe the problem is backslashes vs escape sequences in whatever scripting language Resolve uses. Maybe try with a single backslash?

"E:\\clip\\testimport.mp4"

Thank you! and sorry for the late reply.

the problem is that it doesn't take unc paths,
I tried like this:

Code: Select all

ms.AddItemListToMediaPool("\\\\MyFolder\\clip\\test.mp4");

and so :

Code: Select all

ms.AddItemListToMediaPool("\\MyFolder\clip\test.mp4");

but don't work, the error is in attach file.

any idea ?
thanks for the answers.

try

Code: Select all

resolve.GetMediaStorage().AddItemListToMediaPool("E:/clip/testimport.mp4")

resolve.GetMediaStorage().AddItemListToMediaPool("E:/clip/testimport.mp4")

yes,...this run correctly!!

but so doesn't work....

resolve.GetMediaStorage().AddItemListToMediaPool("////sharedfolder//clip//testimport.mp4")

It doesn't seem to see the unc paths

Thanks.

I´m interested in this too, but for getting files from power bin

Hi,

for the topic issue, I solved it this way:

project_manager = resolve.GetProjectManager();
project = project_manager.GetCurrentProject();

var mp = project.GetMediaPool();

var xx = [];
xx.push(pathToImport);
var res = mp.ImportMedia(xx);

In this way, the UNC path is also seen correctly.


To take the clips from the Mediapool (not timeline) :

var flist = [];
var rootFolder = project.GetMediaPool().GetRootFolder();
var clips = rootFolder.GetClipList();

for (item in clips) {
if (clips[item].GetClipProperty("Type").toLowerCase() != "timeline") {
flist.push(clips[item].GetClipProperty("File path"));
}
}

console.table(flist);
