Good to know, thanks. FYI: The configuration data for VAP is kept in an appdata subfolder of the Users folder. It isn’t touched when you uninstall and install/upgrade VAP and new versions are designed to successfully use the previous version’s configuration data, even if some configuration...

@Epic I could have used the {wildcard} tag instead of the {year} tag. That matched value isn't being used for the TMDb search anyway. If it fails when you use the {year} tag instead, I am puzzled. I used exactly the two file names you provided. One possible explanation would be if you have...

@Epic According to your log data, you are running VAP Ver. 1.02 rather than the latest (1.04). Use Windows Apps & Features to uninstall any old versions before installing the new version. I created two video files named as the two you mentioned. For these files, to obtain metadata from TMDb...

I will look into this. Meanwhile can you verify you are using the latest VAP6 version (1.04)?

VAP6, link in signature, runs VideoReDo COM routines by running VBScripts as process objects in C#. It captures text output from the StdOut of the process and signals aborts by placing a semaphore file. If you install VAP6 you can see the numerous .vbs files it uses. This is a totally...

VAP6 Version 1.04 has been released. See first post for download links. 2 January 2022, Ver. 1.04 Changed: TV series metadata searches are done with TMDb.com source. Previous TV series metadata search source (theTVDB.com) is forcing a change to a new API and has no obvious advantages over...

I didn't notice this thread for a week because it was not posted in the VAP subforum. The arguments passed to vapPostProcess scripts are documented in VAP6-readme.pdf, item 17 in the "Things to know" section, just FYI. The additional arguments you're asking about are all metadata items. VAP...

FWIW, ver. 1.03 of VAP6, just released, will read metadata directly from PlayOn .mp4 recordings. Thus getting metadata via TMDb or theTVDB searching is optional for those files.

VAP6 Version 1.03 has been released. See first post for download links. 5 December 2021, Ver. 1.03 Enhanced: Added XML configuration saves at several more points. Enhanced: Can read metadata from PlayOn .mp4 recordings (using Atomic Parsley).

We seem to have two threads going on mingled topics. Let's confine our discussion of your requirements to this thread from here on if possible. Before reading your previous post I just completed a vapPostProcess/VBScript software set that will trim any type video file, including .mp4. See...

I’ll be surprised if you get the response you desire from VRD on this, because it’s much more complex to do it on .mp4 files. However, I think it would be possible to do a VBScript using the COM functions to accomplish the trims. This would be called from a vapPostProcess script. The...

I think the answer is yes. I’ve got TVS5 and TVS6 installed with no issues. My only reason for keeping TVS5 around is I still support a version of VAP for it, although I’m not sure anyone is still using it.

Before we go much further, I notice you are using old versions of both TVS6 and VAP6: TVS6 your version is 6.61.1.819 - Jun 27 2020 ----- My version is 6.62.5.831 - Jun 5 2021 (more important) VAP6: You're running 1.01 while 1.02 is the latest version. I've gone to great pains to duplicate...

Thanks for the crash report. Just FYI when you copy/paste those reports, all the stuff starting with "************** Loaded Assemblies **************" doesn't need to be included. This tells me the code location of the exception, which is helpful. For some reason it is looking for a file name...

I ran two instances of VAP6, changed the output folder in one of them and restarted Windows without closing VAP6. I did this twice; once with processing not running and once with processing running. In both cases the proper folder setting was retained after restart. VAP6 has code to detect...
