Ok, here is a script that converts your XML to CSV for BulkEdit.

It is expecting to find the data in JRiverXML.txt - I think you can see where to change that.
It then creates a file JriverMovies.CSV - which you will give to BulkEdit

Copy and paste the following into "JRiver2CSV.wsf" or whatever name you want. Then run it by double click on the file. Good luck.

<job id="JRiver2CSV.wsf">
  <script language="VBScript">
Dim filename
        If WScript.Arguments.Unnamed.Count > 0 Then
filename = WScript.Arguments.Unnamed.Item(0)
        Else
        filename = "JRiverXML.txt"
        End If
            Dim infso, outfso, inf, outf, str, outstr, tmpstr
            Const ForReading = 1
            Const ForWriting = 2
            Set infso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
            Set outfso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
        If infso.FileExists(filename) Then           
            Set inf = infso.OpenTextFile(filename, ForReading)
            Set outf = outfso.CreateTextFile("JRiverMovies.CSV", True)
            outf.writeline """title"",""location"",""notes"""
            outstr = ""
            Do While Not inf.AtEndOfStream
              str = inf.ReadLine
              If InStr (str,"<Field Name=""Filename"">") Then
                tmpstr = Replace(str, "<Field Name=""Filename"">", "")
                tmpstr = Replace(tmpstr, "</Field>", "")
                outstr = """[filepath]"+tmpstr+"[/filepath]"""
              End If
              If InStr (str, "<Field Name=""Name"">") Then
                tmpstr = Replace(str, "<Field Name=""Name"">", "")
                tmpstr = Replace(tmpstr, "</Field>", "")
                outstr = """"+tmpstr+""""+ ",file,"+outstr
                outf.writeline outstr
                outstr = ""
              End If
            Loop
            inf.Close
            outf.Close
End If
  </script>
</job>

I must be doing something wrong... I copied the file text into notepad and saved it as "JRiver2CSV.wsf", and when I double click on it nothing happens. If it is doing it silently... Where would it save the CSV file?

tia,
Ron

C'mon man, did you even read the post? You have to put your XML data into a file called "JRiverXML.txt" - it has to be in the same folder with the .wsf file. It was like the second sentence of my post ...

And I got your PM - remember you are not trying to load the XML with BulkEdit - you are loading the CSV created by the script (if it works).
Thanks for your support.

Did you see my second post? I reread the instructions and it is working so far. When it is done I will check and see how it came out. I appreciate your taking the time to get this to work for me.

Sounds good - does it load all 300? Remember, you will have only Title, Notes (with filepath in there) and 1 disc  with the Location field filled in with the word "file", so that LoadDVD can play your media.

If you needed any other data from JRiver, you have to tell me so I can update the script, and you can re-run it.

In the future:
- I will add JRiver to the direct XML import of BulkEdit
- I will add automatic UPC matching, so that movie data is downloaded automatically, but I already explained why that is hard to do and will be imperfect, even when done.
Thanks for your support.

It is still loading... Any idea on how long it should take to load 300?

JRiver also put my music videos in the file... Is there a way to have the script only do the ones that are in my HDMovies folder and not the music videos part? If not, no big deal. So far it is at 1% and it is showing over 100 in the collection.  I can see where it is most likely best to run the script at night when everyone is sleeping.

Thanks again for getting this to work!

Sure, just tell me how to identify which is which. Do I simply check for "HD Movies" in the filename and use only those?

Sorry about the slowness of the import - I think if you click on the progress bar, you can interrupt it if you want. I think it must be past 1%, just the screen didn't refresh yet. I might have some old code that doesn't allow screen refresh during the loop. I'll check and fix that if necessary.

It is at over 1400 so far, with 15% listed... I will just let it go until it hits the grand total. Strange thing is I didn't think I had more than around 300 music videos either. No big deal.

It is grabbing all my music too... not just my movies, and music videos. That explains why there are so many.

Seems like we are always cross posting. Can you answer my question about how to recognize just the ones you want? I can fix the script and yu can re-run it in far less time than waiting. Stop it by clicking on the progress bar.

They will only be in the path of "Tower/ My HD Movies". I sent you a download link for the 3 files, as I am not sure which ones you need.
