AIFF metadata problem

Hello,
When editing metadata for my ALAC/AIFF files, I use the Album Artist Sort Order field (i.e., Sort Album Artist in iTunes) so that artists like 10,000 Maniacs will alphabetize to "T" (i.e., Ten Thousand Maniacs). While I have had no problem with the metadata "embedding" in my ALAC files, I have found that this data embeds transiently in AIFF files (i.e., it will be there for a few days and then disappear).
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Does anyone know of a fix/workaround?
Thanks,
Tim

Can you please state the full nature of your current issue, how you reproduce it, and examples in your site? Also, please post your site's domain.
Thanks.

ITunes will not import some .mp4 content, metadata problem?

I have been importing movies and TV shows for years into iTunes so that my disabled son can watch them on his AppleTV but lately I have been having a problem getting some to go into iTunes. This batch is part of season 9 and 10 of Smallville. I imported about half of the two seasons no problem but the other half will not import. I have ripped all my movies and TV episodes off of disks that I own using Handbreak and WinX DVD Ripper for Mac and it has worked just fine for over 1050 movies and 6200 TV episodes and I was able to import all of season 9 and 10 of Smallville into my laptop's iTunes no problem but on my son's iMac no luck. Both computers are running Mac OS 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.6.1(7) and all content is on two 3TB external hard drives. That is two external drives for the laptop and two for the iMac. After burning, content on one external drive is copied to the other computer's external drive and imported to iTunes on that computer. This way I have a backup copy of all my iTunes video content and two completely independent iTunes and AppleTV's. But on my son's computer 16 episodes will not go in. I "command O" like normal but no import bar is noted and no content can be found. I believe that this problem is due to metadata content. I am also have a little trouble getting some TV content to switch from Music or Movie Media Kind to TV Media Kind and I know that this is a metadata problem. Also some of the episodes have been in iTunes before either from the Apple Store or ripped and then deleted for one reason or the other. I therefore believe that there is a file in iTunes that is telling the program that the episodes I now want to import are already in iTunes and therefore should not go in twice. I have tried changing the episode names and importing, no luck and I even edited an episode using MPEG Streamclip, removing some content, and then resaving it under another name, no luck either. Any ideas would be helpful. I know the Media Kind problem has been address before but now I cannot find it so a link to that discussion would also be helpful. Thank you for any help.

I have the same issue here. My daughter has an iPod Touch4 and I have been importing mp4's with no problems up until the last iTunes update. Now I get nothing. No message, not activity, nothing. Either this is a new bug in iTunes or they have now eliminated the import ability.
I am sick and tired of apple and their hand-holding, big-brother coddling. My daughters iPod is the last Apple product we have and now I think it's time to totally part ways with Apple and go all in with Android. We have already converted all our phones from Apple to Android. The Samsung Galaxy Player looks like a great replacement to the iPod.

MapViewer metadata problem - accessing spatial data in a different schema.

I have a MapViewer application that uses data from three different schemas.
1. Dynamic Themes come from schema A.
2. Static Themes come from schema B.
3. A newly added static theme in B whose data comes from schema C.
The mapviewer datasource points to schema B where the static themes, data and metadata are defined while the dynamic themes have their own datasource specified as part of addJDBCTheme(...).
To get the newly added map to work I've had to add a view in schema B that points to C instead of referencing directly the table and I've had to add the metadata twice, once for schema B and once for schema C.
If I put the metadata in just one of the two schemas I get the following errors.
08/11/21 13:58:57 ERROR [oracle.sdovis.ThemeTable] cannot find entry in ALL_SDO_GEOM_METADATA table for theme: AMBITOS_REST
08/11/21 13:58:57 ERROR [oracle.sdovis.ThemeTable] java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column index
OR

ORA-13203: failed to read USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA view
It's not a big deal but I'd like to know if anyone else has has similar problems.
Saludos,
Lew.

Hi Lew,
if you are using a recent version (10.1.3.1 or later) there is no need to use a view and to create the metadata in both schemas.
You need to grant selection on tables between the schemas.
You can try the following. Assume you have the MVDEMO schema (from MapViewer kit) and SCOTT schema.
1) grant select on MVDEMO Counties table to SCOTT
SQL> grant select on counties to scott;
2) Now you are ready to create a predefined theme in schema SCOTT using the MVDEMO Counties table.
- Open MapBuilder and loads the SCOTT schema.
- On the Data navigator (bottom left tree), go to Geometry tables and you should see the MVDEMO node and the COUNTIES node inside it.
- Start a wizard to create a geometry theme based on this Counties table.
- At the end you should see that the base table name is MVDEMO.COUNTIES. Therefore MapViewer will use the metadata in MVDEMO schema and there is no need to replicate it in SCOTT schema.

Adobe CS3 Bridge - Metadata Problem

Hello,
Alot of my images (JPGs) seem to be losing their metadata, for example, if I keyword a bunch of pictures in bridge and save them. I go back the next day, and they are missing? Also when uploading to a website, if I put in copyright like this:
© Copright Name 2008
it almost always appears like this when on site:
Á© Copright Name 2008
Does anyone have any idea how, and why this is happening, and if there is a way to resolve this incredibly annoying problem.
If it's any relevance, I am seperating keywords with commas.

It should be possible to batch remove that using a metadata template where you set that particular field to be empty and then append that template to all your files (and of course, test on some random pics before doing something like this on all your images)

List view threshold and columns manage metadata problems

Hi
We have problem in our company since we have more files in library than is set in List view Threshold.
I have created index on column "year" and create view filter: Year is equal 2015.
and I get famous error: this view cannot be displayed because....
I haven`t find any limitations on column type: manage metadata?

Hi,
As I understand, you encountered the issue after you created view filter.
Every column type has the default number that can be created. You should go to check the number of your column created is less than the number by default.
Per my test, I can achieve it without exceeding list view threshold.
Check things below:
1. You can increase the number of the list view threshold, and after that, you can try again to see the same situation will occur.
2. Go to create another managed metadata column “year”, and create index on column "year", and create view filter in the same list to see the issue will occur.
3. Check ULS log to see the details about the cause of the issue.
Best regards,
Sara Fan

Premiere Pro CS5.5 Mac - Major Metadata Problems

Hi...
I am having major problems with the Metadata system in Premiere Pro CS5.5
I have created a custom scheme and added the following property "Key" and set it to have a boolean value (Check Mark)
My Metadata display correctly displays the "Key" property and I can check it. Just like expected.
I will now apply it to the clip(s) in need of that meta property.
In the project column the property is also show correctly...
All good so far but now comes the two major problems
PROBLEM 1
1) I have about 300 clips in the project panel
2) If I click the column header I can sort accordingly
3) Clicking name or Labels will immediately sort correctly. 1 Second tops.
4) If I click the column header of my custom propert "Key" I get the SWOD and it takes about 120 seconds for Premiere to sort adhering to the Key Column.
2 minutes for that is a VERY long time compared to sorting by name...
Could this be a bug or am I doing something wrong...
PROBLEM 2
In the project panel's search field I will enter "Key" but nothing will appear... At least that is what I thought.
It took more than ONE HOUR for Premiere's search results to be able to identify that a clip had gotten that property checked. (Clicking the Clip immediately reflects that it has been checked)
I even timed it. Ckecked the Key property for 4 new clips which did not have the meta applied to them.
In the search field I entered 'Key" but only the clip which had had the Key meta tagged since 1 hour would appear.
I waited another hour and now those very 4 clips also appear in the search field. The same goes for the "Good" meta boolean which is NOT a custom field.
I saved the project in between quit Premiere and re-launched but THAT did NOT help PPRO find that Property in the search field.
As I said, it takes about 1 hour for Premiere to be able to included those metadata in the search results.
Funny thing is, if I enter 'true' which is the boolean text-string for a checked property the results appear immediately. But there is NOT much use in having ALL boolean fields appear that are checked.
I welcome that adobe implemented metadata across their apps but ELEGANT is something entirely different.
Could anyone shed some light on this ?
Thanks

ImageIO, TIFF, and metadata problems

I'm trying to set some metadata parameters for output of a TIFF image. The problem I had was, the API returns a W3C DOM Node, and since the DOM API is so disgusting, I didn't want to use it directly.
And naturally, since XPath is supposed to work over a DOM, I thought I could use it as a shortcut.
Sample program:
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.awt.image.RenderedImage;
import javax.imageio.metadata.IIOMetadata;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.imageio.ImageTypeSpecifier;
import javax.imageio.ImageWriteParam;
import javax.imageio.ImageWriter;
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import javax.xml.xpath.XPath;
import javax.xml.xpath.XPathConstants;
import javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory;
import org.w3c.dom.Node;
public class TiffMetadataBug {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        // Test image
        RenderedImage image = new BufferedImage(8, 8, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
        // Get the default metadata for this kind of image
        ImageWriter imageWriter = ImageIO.getImageWritersByFormatName("TIFF").next();
        ImageWriteParam writeParam = imageWriter.getDefaultWriteParam();
        IIOMetadata metadata = imageWriter.getDefaultImageMetadata(new ImageTypeSpecifier(image), writeParam);
        // The root metadata node is...
        Node metadataRoot = metadata.getAsTree(metadata.getNativeMetadataFormatName());
        // Output the metadata DOM as XML.
        Transformer identity = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
        System.out.print("XML:");
        identity.transform(new DOMSource(metadataRoot), new StreamResult(System.out));
        System.out.println();
        // Try to match a path into the DOM.
        XPath xPath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();
        Object result = xPath.evaluate("//TIFFField[@number='282']/TIFFRationals/TIFFRational", metadataRoot, XPathConstants.NODE);
        System.out.println("Result of XPath evaluation: " + result);
}The first bit of the output was done to see what XPath to use. It contains XML like this:
    <TIFFField number="282" name="XResolution">
        <TIFFRationals>
            <TIFFRational value="1/1"/>
        </TIFFRationals>
    </TIFFField>So my XPath:
//TIFFField[@number='282']/TIFFRationals/TIFFRationalshould work fine.
I wonder if this is a bug in the ImageIO metadata code, or if I'm actually doing something wrong here.

Hi!
I try to get tiff tags together with their data out of a TIFF-file with the use of DOM. I get problems reading the metadata. How can I read metadata so I can output it like above?
thanks in advanced.

Export/import OWB (10.1 and PARIS) metadata problems

I am attempting to import an OWB 10.1–exported map into an OWB 10.2/PARIS repository .. this failed as follows from the Paris Design Center menu bar ...
Design – Import – Warehouse Builder Metadata and specify a previously exported OWB 10.1 map. I receive the following message … ”Metadata version is not compatible with you current repository version. Upgrading the file is required to import your metadata”
… Selecting ”UPGRADE” yields the following …
Upgrade started at Jul 25, 2006 12:02:05 PM

any advice on importing OWB 10.1 metadata(maps) into OWB PARIS ? as I am trying to create business case for upgrading from OWB 10.1 to PARIS.

There is a similar issue logged in our Support database relating to this type of problem. The bug (ref number 5309802) has some workarounds relating to issues within an MDL file relating to non-unique IDs and blank properties for certain objects.
The log file should tell you exactly where the problem objects are located, row and column reference. If you could open a TAR with Oracle Support and send them the log file and the associated MDL file they should be able to organize a fix for you.
If you want to try this yourself then make a backup of the MDL file. Next open the MDL file using Winzip and extract the two files within the MDL file. The larger of the two files is in fact an XML file. Open this file in a text editor that shows line and column numbers. Now refer back to the log file and find the error messages from that file and cross reference row/column numbers within the XML file and see if the error makes sense to you. If it does, correct the error and then rezip everything back into an MDL file and try importing the MDL file again.
Alternatively you may want to leave this to Oracle Support to manage for you.
Hope this helps

Metadata problem

Hello Friends,
Recently i am experiencing a strange problem.when i launch my WD applicaion,i am missing all the Meta data in the application.
MY application uses adaptive RFC Bapi using JCO connections.
I have just upgrade my J2EE,NWDS to SP15.I have rebuild the project.
J2EE engine is restarted.Still having the problem.
I also checked if my Jco desdination configuration in sync with Model Instance logical system.Everything is okay.
Please help me to find what am i missing ?.

Hi Bhaskaran,
u can see the logs correspoding to your application in the server location..
\usr\sap\<sid>\<instance_number>\j2ee\cluster\server0\
i think ur application folder will be there inside this or within one subdirectory here.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/fe/4f5542253fb330e10000000a155106/content.htm
U can check the service entries in services file which is located in
<Drive Name>:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc...
but normally in JCO Connection test , if it is not showing errors(especially MetaData) , then it means this entry is there in the services file.

LR2 - Metadata problem and possible workaround

Hi all,
In case others have the same problem in LR2.
When I use "Edit In Photoshop" special characters (æøå) in Metadata (both in keywords and in IPTC data) are translated to wrong characters.
Similar export from LR1.4.1 works perfect.
One possible workaround is to setup CS3 as second external editor in LR2 and use this instead. Then are all special chars. in metadata exported correct.
Kind regards
Henrik Bach
System:
Macbook pro, OSX 10.5.4, 4Gb ram, 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.

I have looked a bit more into this.
It seems that all non standard characters used in metadata (on my system) get translated wrong when I use "Edit i photoshop" or "Edit as smart object", "Merge to HDR/Panorama".
The metadata is 100% correct when opened using Bridge, LR1.4.1 and also when setting CS3 up as secondary editor in LR2 and use that.
Example: "Le Rhône" is changed to "Le Rhne".
It would like to file this as a (minor) bug (compared to the stability issues i'm facing) - is there a link that can be used?
Are other seeing the same problem?
With kind regards

Weird metadata problem in the "copyright" XMP field

Hey,
This is a really weird problem and I can't figure it out why it happens...
Along the years I create some metadata presets where the copyright field changes as the year changes. For instance:
© 2008 Ricardo Amaral, All Rights Reserved
© 2009 Ricardo Amaral, All Rights Reserved
However, some photos from 2008 had the copyright after the comma in lower case, like this: "© 2008 Ricardo Amaral, all rights reserved". Now, every time I try to change only 'a' to 'A' in "all", or only the 'r' to "R" in "rights" or the other 'r' in reserved or even all of them, it doesn't work. Lightroom, automatically, renames it back for me in lowercase. I have no idea why...
What's even more strange is that if I change the year to 2009 or 2007 (probably others too) and now try to rename the 'a', 'r' and 'r' to uppercase again, it works, just because I changed the year from "2008" to something else. There's also another strange issue like this, you probably noticed above that I used the copyright symbol and not "(c)" and the symbol is what I'm using in the metadata copyright field. But if I replace "©" by "(c)", leave the year at "2008" and then try once again to rename the 'a', 'r' and 'r' to uppercase, it now works too.
This is weird right?
Basically, I want to have this "© 2008 Ricardo Amaral, All Rights Reserved" but Lightroom automatically renames to "© 2008 Ricardo Amaral, all rights reserved" when I try to fix it.
Any suggestions?

Ok, I'll explaing what I did...
And of course I did backup the lrcat file before doing any changes. Now that's out of the way...
What tool did you use?
Since I didn't want to install anything and since I use Firefox, there's an extension called "SQLite Manager", I used that.
Was the tool read-only by default, or could you just start changing data values?
Not that I noticed no. But I did noticed that when I changed something, it always asked me if I really wanted to do those changes and it even shows the query it's about to perform to the database.
How did you determine which table held the relevant data? How did you determine which *rows* held the problem pictures? How did you actually change the value - just type over and tab out? Did you need to do a COMMIT or was it automatic?
I'm not very database savvy and I find easier to just search in a text editor so I just exported all tables (there's an option for that) as .sql file format and opened it up in a text editor and then searched (case sensitive) for the string "2008 Ricardo Amaral, all rights reserved". Now, you kinda need to understand a bit of the SQL syntax (the .sql exported file are just SQL instructions to insert the data you just exported into another database) and look for the relevant tables and fields.
I found 6 references to that string where 5 of those where in the table Adobe_AdditionalMetadata in the xmp field. Those were relevant to "Copyright" metadata field in the pictures added to the catalog. I didn't change those manually.
The other reference was in the table AgLibraryTag and I have no idea what this table is for. But there were some rows relevant to the metadata presets you have for that respective catalog. I only had 3, for 2004, 2008 and 2009 (dry season between 2004 and 2008 lol). There's two relevant fields on that table, lc_name and name. For the lc_name, all words were lower case and that's what I believe the lc in lc_name stands for, so, nothing to do here. As for the name field, both the 2004 and 2009 were all as they should be, with the first letter upper case, the others lower. But for the 2008, it was "all rights reserved" instead of "All Rights Reserved". So I just fixed that.
No need to save the database, when you do changes to any rows to any tables, they are directly modified in the database.
After that, I opened up Lightroom, selected the problematic pictures and aparently they were fixed; the copyright field showed correctly. However, the specific fields in Adobe_AdditionalMetadata for those pictures were not yet fixed. To fix this, I just saved the metadata to the files and then read it back; this rewrote the database fixing everything.
Did you have any problems?
Nope, everything's working fine so far...

Metadata problem - help needed please

A rather strange thing has happened when opening Lightroom a few moments ago and before I go and do something stupid would request some advice.
I have a folder open containing approx 800 CR2 RAW image. The thumbnails for these images display the small icons indicating that I have applied keywords, edits and in some cases crops.
However, the thumbnails also display the question mark and when clicked upon I receive the following 'the following files relating to this photo were present before but are now missing' and in the box below it indicates that the xmp file(s) are missing. What's strange is that I have never written out to xmp files in this folder and so they were never there to be missing in the first place.
Now the options I have are to (a) forget about them but as there was nothing to forget this seems irrelevant or (b) to continue to track them but again, as there aren't any xmp files there aren't obviously any to track.
I had thought that up until this point in time all my edits and crops etc were contained within the database file and if this is so why the question mark. The options I seem to have are from the menu bar to 'Read Metadata from file' but because there aren't any xmp files associated with these images doing so results in the loss of my edits, and secondly, if I choose the 'Write Metadata to File' I end up with xmp files that I do not want or need.
Has anyone any reasonable suggestion as to why these question marks should be appearing above all the folders images (800) when the edits etc have clearly been written to the database. Yesterday no question marks today all this folders images show them so what if anything can I do about it?

Thanks Lee and if only the answer were so simple. No - none of the files have been moved or deleted outside of Lightroom because if that were the case then I would have no files at all showing in this particular LR folder as ALL 800 images have suddenly and mysteriously had the question mark attached to them.
As I mentioned earlier, when moving the mouse over the question mark itself it brings up the message relating to missing xmp files for which NON were every generated.
Anyway, the problem is in the past now as I have labour intensively gone through 800 images first clicking on the question mark and then choosing the option to ignore the xmp file as there aren't any xmp files to ignore anyway, Now the right wrist is aching somewhat. :-( The task would have been made much easier if there was an option within LR to apply the 'Ignore xmp files' to ALL selected images but of course there isn't one. User request coming up me thinks.
Never before has one application given me so much joy and so much grief. :-) :-(

EX CAM metadata problem ? Files being lost

Hi all,
I am not a particularly experienced editor but i have been using PP CS5 for the last few months to edit some EX CAM (EX) files that i shot on an EX3.
The strange thing is...though everything has being going fine up to now...in the last couple of days...PP CS5 has started losing track of some of my EX CAM clip files. For example, I have a 1 hour 20min file that i have been working with (not very intensively...just doing some titling and so forth)...it was shot in an EX3 and the mp4 files spanned across two cards when it was shot. Up to now...dragging in the first "EX clip" in the series has predictably also brought in all the other "clips" and the whole file has played seamlessly as one file and in the right order. But now, when i save and shut down my PC, the next day when i start up the project, the file has diagonal gray bars across portions of it in the sequence timeline and PP seems unable to find those clip portions of the file. Down the bottom of the PP screen I get the little yellow progress bar graph saying "CONFORMING mp4"...But after it finishes this process, it still fails to find the missing parts of the EX clip.
Some times it even starts to get confused and gets the clips in the wrong order (eg clip section 6 appears as section 1).
It seems to me that PP is either not reading the metadata correctly, or the EX metadata has been corrupted. I have checked the BPAV folders and everything seems there (though i didn't open up the CUE files). I also checked the mp4's and all the raw mp4 clips are there and playable.
Can anyone tell me what is happening ? If this continues, my whole project will be screwed....i have thousands of EX clips and it would take months to drag them all into the project and order them manually.
The drive that the files are on is a Western Digital Black Caviar and it is not a networked drive. I am doing very lightweight editing with very few effects and there have been no performance issues with the system (no drive speed issues, no RAM issues, no video card issues so far). I am running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit and I should mention i am running the accelerated GPU workaround "hack" with an Asus EN-GTX260 1GigDDR5
Cheers,
Pete

Hi,
My problem is solved...thought i would post the simple fix.
All i had to do was start a completely fresh project, import the same problematic EX3 assets into that new project (via Import command) and then drag that clip into the timeline and instantly all EX clip links were restored ...and here's the weird part, they were restored not just in the new project but in ALL other projects that used those EX3 assets. ie. by doing this, my original project was also repaired. Don't ask me why...I'm just happy.
There is another thread on the same topic overe here ( http://forums.adobe.com/message/3362918#3362918 ) if anyone is still having problems.

Aiff import problem

I am having a problem importing audio from original CD media as aiff files. The CD plays fine, but if I import an aiff file there are gaps of silence interspersed in the audio file, which can be seen when you open the file in any editor. It seems to be only for the aiff format. Restarting the system fixes the problem temporarily.
The problem is the same for different CDs, different CD drives, and different apps used to import (iTunes, Peak, etc.), so I am wondering if possibly this might be an issue with the Quicktime framework? Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? If so, are there any recommendations to fix it? If it's not a Quicktime issue, I'd gladly entertain suggestions of what else it might be, or other places I should be raising this question...
Thanks,
cw

Observation: Files are not working in iTunes whatever the settings and whatever iTunes or Soundconverter says.
Desired scenario: Files working in iTunes.
Suggestion: Try a different converter so the ultimate result is you have files that work.
Edit: You dragged these files to a blank playlist? It is possible they are arriving untagged and are listed according to filename and not where you might expect them to be.

Importing aiffs, display problem

So I'm working on a new episode of my podcast. We record via Skype and Audio Hijack and the sound files are aiffs. Usually I can get through the first segment or two fine, but lately when I import aiffs for the second/third segments, they'll import but show up as a half-second sliver of orange. When I play it it plays audio past that, but since it's not displaying anything on the track in GarageBand I can't edit anything.
Anyone else run into this problem? How do I solve it? It's very annoying. :'(

To do as Scott says in Audio Hijack:
1. Open Audio hijack
2. press ⌘ +i to open the inspector.
3. Click on the 'recording' tab.
4. In the pulldown menu choose the 44.100 selection instead of auto.
Not sure about Skype since I have never used it. Check the preferences.
