Importing XML into MMW
Posted: Fri Jun 14, 2019 6:06 am
Hi,
I'm looking for a script that would import track tags from an XML file (created by Rekordbox) to update the MMW v4 database and also propagate some of those tags to the actual files. I have some (rusty) development skills and would like some advice on how to approach the development, so hope to get some support here.
My specific questions are:
- what would be the best language to develop the script so that it would run on MMW v4 but also could be relatively easy migrated to MM5? I think it's JavaScript but please let me know if there's a better;
- are there any example scripts I could look at that (1) parse XML, (2) look up the track in MMW and update the specific tags and (3) propagate these changes to the file?
- what mechanisms could be used to start the script, select the XML file and possibly pass some parameters, like a date based upon which changes in the XML file will be selected.
Thanks guys!
Paulo
