Well it’s good to know that I at least got that part working correctly. I worked out a script to take an excel file and parse each row into an xml file so I can ingest our legacy data.

I do have User 58 already created so that shouldn’t be the issue. Any other ideas?

Anyone have any information on sidecar files not importing in 10.0.7?

I’ve have look for metadata in side care files turned on and here is a copy of the sidecar file. It is just trying to write into one user field.

6973_alaksa4.xml.zip
(Creative cow added the 6973_ and of course the .zip)

The file name of the video is alaska-4.mov and they are both in the same directory. I’ve tried both dragging the video file in and selecting it from inside of catdv by right clicking and choosing Import into Catalog

Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the help Dougal,
between those links I got the proxies up and running. I had to change my path mappings a little for the web proxies as compared to normal mapping for proxies. They run perfectly on Macs now and will run in firefox under windows, however quicktime crashes every time I try to use chrome. Haven’t had a chance to test on a second PC so this may just be a machine specific error. Anyways thanks again, I really appreciate it!

Looks like I spoke a little too soon.

Worker node with the update to 5.0.7 now correctly sees and creates proxies but is running into a problem with where it stores the files. It should go into CatDV Proxies/D/Platform but instead it is going to CatDV Proxies/Volumes/Platform so it doesn’t’ show up in CatDV.

Currently my only idea is to have two separate automations, one to process files added from a PC and one to process files added from a Mac. It seems a bit inefficient so I figure there is probably a better way to do this. Thanks in advance for the help.

You guys are my heroes! The update from 5.0.6 to 5.0.7 resolved the problem! I really really appreciate you guys taking the time to help me out. I’m also glad I’m not crazy and that I did in fact have it set up correctly. I was really starting to have doubts.

So I figured out how to set path mapping in Worker Node so it now tries to process the files but they always fail with error

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /Volumes/Platform/Exports/file name – file offline

Hi there,
did you ever find a solution to this? I have the same problem but backwards, my windows box is my server.

I was hoping for a GUI option but purely because I don’t have a ton of experience scripting. I’m pretty adept at modifying scripts but not so much at creating them. But I am glad to know I’m not crazy for thinking that this should be doable.

Yeah I’m eyeing it as an archival format for museums and hoping it gains more momentum since I don’t really like any of the current lossless options.

Hopefully something new will come out once CS6 is out.
