Is there any way to overwrite the tags of podcast feed automatically?

I'm looking for an addon or plugin that lets me overwrite the tags on my podcast feeds. Basically, there are several podcast feeds that I subscribe to that either have horribly tagged files or simply no tags at all. I'd like to be able to have iTunes automatically set the artist for certain feed tags automatically. I have found a few other podcast downloaders that offer this, however not all of my feeds work and the interface is not as good as iTunes.
Any suggestions? It's driving me batty!

Sure, I've addresed the "merging podcast series together" issue in your other thread. Sadly we can't do that via a script as yet, however we can update other information provided we know how to identify the items of interest and what values we want to fix.
Going back to my example of podcast categories here is an edited section of my current script for correcting missing/unwanted values:
Select Case .Album
  Case "Ask A Ninja","Ask A Ninja - iPod"
    .Category="Ask A Ninja"
    .AlbumArtist="Ask A Ninja"
  Case "The Pod Delusion"
    .Category="Skepticism"
    .Artist="The Pod Delusion Podcast"
    .AlbumArtist="The Pod Delusion Podcast"
End Select
In my case each podcast I want to change can be identified by its Album value so having identified the series I can then correct one or more values. When all the values are corrected the episode will no longer appear in my smart playlist of Podcasts To Fix. I currently pre-select these items before calling the script but I'm pretty sure I can make it check the contents of a specific named playlist without too much trouble. You mentioned that some of yours don't have the *Podcast Name* set (which is the same as album) so what other field (or part thereof) would you use to identify them?
Adding artwork at the same time as other changes should be simple enough. Simply save the desired artwork image as Folder.jpg in the podcast folder and I'll include a routine to embed it. That said, there are no smart playlist rules to distinguish items with & without artwork however I have a generic script called CreateFolderArt which can update local folder artwork and then embed the same art into any tags that are missing it.
My current FixPodcasts script is still a little short of comments showing how you might edit it but I'll try to post something suitable either later tonight or tomorrow evening.

  • Is there any way to force the "Save As" dialog to automatically select only the filename, not the filename+extension?

    See
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=426680
    or more clearly stated here:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480522
    Two years later this "bug" (not exactly a bug, but a pain in the butt nonetheless) is still not resolved.
    Yes, I'm running the latest version of Firefox (6.0.1). And I'm running it on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.7.
    The selection is made correctly in other applications; this problem is Firefox-specific, and occurs even when no extensions or plug-ins are installed.
    Except that when I had my last computer, I found a work-around somewhere that fixed it, but for the life of me I can't recall what kind, how, or where.
    Any help with solving this irritating issue would be greatly appreciated.

    The initial view (IV) settings within a PDF file are static tags - they can't be made to dynamically-adapt based on the window dimensions,it's the renderer (Acrobat, Reader, or whatever else is opening the file) that decides if and how it will follow the IV requested by the file header.
    It would be possible to use a Page Open action on the first page of the file, which does some nasty math with the various doc.*WindowRect objects to work out how much "wasted" space there is, and then set the doc.layout and doc.zoomType properties - but page actions are a different concept to IV as the zoom will reset itself every time that page is viewed. Users don't like their application apparently fiddling with the zoom level without being told to!

  • When I add a new bookmark, and the (star) Page Bookmarked window appears - is there any way to expand the size of that window so that I can see my entire list of folders when adding a new bookmark to an existing folder?

    When I add a new bookmark, and the (star) Page Bookmarked window appears - is there any way to expand the size of that window so that I can see my entire list of folders when adding a new bookmark to an existing folder? The endless scrolling technique is far too tedious when trying to add a new bookmark, because the window is simply too tiny. Is there maybe a plug-in that will let me grab the corner of that window and re-size it? Thanks!

    I suggest you install the "Add Bookmark to Here2" extension, then you can expand the the list but you will not see the bookmark itself in the list if that is what you wanted. At the top you have three major folders you can select one of them and scroll up and down. Below that you have your most recently used folders and you can select one of them instead and scroll up and down. You can see the folder the bookmark is in -- they get added to the bottom
    If you really want to see the bookmark within the folder the same extension allows you to bring the bookmark to the folder from say the bookmarks sidebar that is why it is named as such. I use it but mainly i use the dialog.
    Please continue reading about bookmarks and some related extensions at
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sorting_and_rearranging_bookmarks_-_Firefox
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/add-bookmark-here-2/
    * http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox.htm#addbookmarkhere2
    * http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/kws.htm
    If you are not using tags at all, you can remove a whole lot of confusion by removing them from the dialog via the extension.

  • Is there any way to force the applet to load the file without using cache?

    Hi,
    I have the applet that renders some data from a file specified as the parameter. The problem is that the user can do something, that changes the input file and reloads the page, but the applet renders old data (from browser cache most probably)
    Is there any way to force the applet to load the file without using cache?

  • Is there any way to prevent the OS from querying the Superdrive when start

    Just a random question. Whenever my MacBook Pro starts up (either from sleep or a complete/fresh start, the OS queries the drive slot to see if there is a disc present. While this may be normal behavior, it seems to slow down the start up process. (I rarely ever have a disc in the drive). Just curious if this, in fact, normal, or if there's something awry.

    No
    he OS queries the drive slot to see if there is a disc present.
    How can you tell? Based on the noise it makes?

  • Is there any way to retreive the FileName in the mapping

    Is there any way to retreive the FileName and so that I can use that in my mapping. This is FILE2RFC scenario with NO BPM.
       I am using the adapter specific message attributes in the file sender CC.
    Thanks,
    Ravi
    null

    Yes you can retreive it.  Create an simple user defined function in the mapping and use the following code.
    Imports: com.sap.aii.mapping.api.*;
    Parameter: String filename
    Paramter: String filename;
    filename = fileName + ".DAT";
    DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
    .getTransformationParameters()
    .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
    DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
    conf.put(key, filename);
    return filename;
    Or
    Just do whatever mentioned in this weblog:

  • Is there any way to repeat the last action on a new selection?

    I'm playing with Pages to see if I can use it instead of Word. I'm very expert with Word, just starting with Pages. Like some things, don't like some, but I think it's worth continuing to play with it to see if it will work for me. One problem I've been having is repeating an action. In Word, if you do something (in the particular situation I just had, it was deleting a row in a table), and then click on another place and do command-Y, it repeats what you did. Similarly, if you format a word as bold, say, and then select another word and do command-Y the second word will also be made bold. I realize the latter can be done in pages by selecting "emphasis" style for the second word, but I couldn't figure out any work-around for deleting the table rows (I tried selecting several non-adjacent rows, but "delete row" was greyed out on the actions menu). Any way to do this that I've missed?

    Thanks anyway. I'm sorry that Apple didn't include a "repeat" keyboard shortcut - going to the Inspector and then the actions wheel and then "delete row" time after time wasn't fun.
    I'm afraid I failed to communicate well about outline format - I didn't mean a bulleted or numbered list, I do know how to do that, but rather making a single character (or in my particular interest a symbol, the diamond and heart suit symbols) appear in outline text format. You can do it by going to format->font->outline, but if I want to do it for several occurrences of the same thing (or a few different things), it's not much fun to do it that way. But maybe I can define a character format that's outline and that will work. Still would prefer to have a keyboard shortcut to apply the character format though.
    Incidentally, while I'm talking about diamonds and hearts, is there any way to change the amount of space that gets put in after the diamond and heart symbols if you insert them using Edit->Special Characters? I write a lot of documents that use those symbols and lines end up unevenly spaced because of the large amount of space below each symbol (I've figured out a partial work-around - I defined a style for "body after suit symbol" that is raised enough to get the line spacing right, but that only works when I want to have a hard return at the end of the line with the suit symbols, since if the lines wrap, both lines have to have the same paragraph formatting. This problem isn't really Pages related - I have the same difficult with Word .

  • Is there any  way to Mask the Name when  a select statement is issued?

    but it seems there is no option in oracle it self which can be used as there they are saying to get a data masking software which we can't due to some internal issues....I would not say that. How one implements masking depends entirely on the requirements that need to be met.
    For example, schema A owns all the tables. Schema B can be created as a "trusted" schema - in other words, schema A trusts schema B and allows it full access (with grants) to its tables. Schema B implements data masking as views. For each table in A, a view exists in B that implements the required masking. B can now grant select access on these views to user C. User C will see the same data object names in B as it would have if it used A - only, by using the B data objects it uses masked data objects and not the original source data objects.
    Another example - schema Dev is to have all the data objects of schema Prod, but masked where needed. One can use CTAS (Create Table As Select) to create the required tables in Dev with masked values where relevant. This Dev schema can be "refreshed" on weekends by dropping all tables and getting a new fresh copy of production data and masking it - ready for the next week's development cycle.
    If the application use is for example APEX, then instead of coding SQL directly as reporting regions to display, a function is used instead. APEX supports reporting regions where it calls a function and this function provides the APEX run-time with the SQL to execute and contents to render. It is easy to use this approach to implement logic in functions that masked column data depending on who the APEX user is, the security/role attributes of the user, and so on.
    No there is not a single "+mask this column!+" feature in Oracle.. but that does not mean that such a feature is not supported and cannot be implemented. Oracle has a very comprehensive and rich set of tools - more so than most (if not all) other RDBMS products.
    It is up to the architect/designer/developer to use this toolkit in creating a system that meets the specific requirements at hand.

  • Is there any way to identify the particular socket connection is closed ?

    Is there any way to identify the particular socket connection is closed or not ?
    Any methods ???
    How can the program knows the connection is lost or some thing ...
    Is the socket throws some excpetions when there is no active connection ???
    namanc

    If you get an IOException when you try to use the socket, the connection was obviously closed.
    The correct way for an application to know if the socket was closed is:
    1) the server sends a message indicating that the socket should be closed
    2) the client closes the socket itself

  • Is there any way to get the height/width of an image before importing it in the indesign document.

    Hi All,
    I need to obtain an image's attributes such as dimensions (height, width in pixels) without placing image in indesign document.
    I have full path of the image (say abc.jpg is stored at c:\my pic\abc.jpg).
    I have obtained the IDFile for this image, tried getting size using GetFileSize() which correctly return size in bytes.
    Is there any way to get the height/width of image without importing it in the indesign document.
    Please, give me some hints. I have spent quite a lot time digging in CHM. I have searched in FileUtils, IDFile API's but found no method which serves this purpose.
    At this point I am clueless where to search next.
    Any help will be appriciated.
    Just a point to mention, I am able to get image height and width for an image in indesign doc though Its not my requirement.
    Thnx,
    D.

    You might be able to examine the contents of the PlaceGun after calling kImportAndLoadPlaceGunCmdBoss without actually placing the image in a document. Not sure, but would be worth looking at.
    Otherwise you will probably have to write platform specific code, ideally with a generic platform-independant wrapper (see SDKSamples/paneltreeview/PlatformFileSystemIterator).
    For the Mac, look at CGImageGetWidth() etc., not sure what the best option is for windows.
    Perhaps Quicktime could provide you with a platform independant solution.

  • Is there any way to specify the default version of LabVIEW?

    I have a sinking feeling that the answer to this question is "no."  With more than one version installed, is there any way to set the default LabVIEW version for opening a VI? I have both 7.1 and 8 installed, and usually only use 8 to open an example or look at something posted here.  When I do that, it resets all the OS hooks so that the default action for opening a VI is to open it in version 8.  I've even gone so far as to create actions to open files in 7.1 and 8, but it always resets my default action.
    I found this KB article for when version 7 came out, but it's suggestions don't seem to work with 7 and 8.
    Ugh. I hate it when software thinks it knows what I want better than I do.

    Add
    in the LabVIEW.ini file of those versions you do not want to rewrite

    following:
    RegisterExtensions=False
    Of course the VersionChooser utility mentioned earlier is even more convinient.

  • Is there any way to set the default for *.doc document so that Pages opens them automatically?

    I have a number of Ms Word documents because I used to have Word for Mac before the last OS release.  Now, of course, when I double-click on them, I get a message saying that PowerPC isn't supported.
    Now Pages will open these files.  Is there any way to change the default for *.doc files so that a double-click will open them in Pages? 
    (Instead of me going to the trouble of finding out where they are actually located on the hard drive so that I can open pages and say - here, open this file--even though you didn't create it--)

    Click on a .doc file and type Cmnd I to open Get Info. In the Open with: menu select Pages, then click on Change All…
