dbpoer amp and MS Access

[christopherhall]

Hi I am trying to use dbpoweramp in connection with MS Access.

I have a script which runs the following line of code only when it reaches this point I get the message:

Object doesn't support this property or method

Is there a reference in Access that I am missing?

Here is the line of code:

dMC = CreateObject("dMCScripting.Converter")


Thanks

Chris

Re: dbpoer amp and MS Access

dMC is an object, thus you'll need to use the VBScript keyword "Set". So the line will need to be:

Set dMC = CreateObject("dMCScripting.Converter")

Thanks for that Deano,

Now another, what I hope is an easy question.

I am calling the following line of code:

Call dMC.Convert(oFile, "Test_MP3_To_WMA_Result\" & Left(oFile.Name, Len(oFile.Name) - 3) & "wma", "mp3 (Lame)", "-b=128", "")

The aim is to convert each mp3 file in a folder to wma.

This runs without any errors although it does not create the wma file.


Thanks

Re: dbpoer amp and MS Access

I have tried running this mannually using dbpowerAmp but am getting the following message:

The CODEC required to compress 'D:\Test_MP3_To_WMA_Result\2474_1_3_clip.wma' could not be opened.

Re: dbpoer amp and MS Access

Did you install the WMA codec into dMC?

Re: dbpoer amp and MS Access

Yes,

I can run it through the dppowerAmp front End but when I try to run it using code it does not work?

Re: dbpoer amp and MS Access

OK,

I have started again from scratch, with a simpler script.

Here is what I have:

Function conMp3()

Dim dMC

            Set dMC = CreateObject("dMCScripting.Converter")
            newFile = "D:\Test_MP3_To_WMA_Result\2474_1_0_clip.mp3"
            Call dMC.Convert("D:\Test_MP3_To_WMA\2474_1_0_clip.mp3", newFile, "mp3 (Lame)", "-b=128", "")

End Function

When I run this it gets to the line:

Call dMC.Convert("D:\Test_MP3_To_WMA\2474_1_0_clip.mp3", newFile, "mp3 (Lame)", "-b=128", "")

And gives the error message:

Object doesn't support this property or method


Any help would be great.

You are converting to mp3, but giving the file with a .wma extension...You need instead of "mp3 (Lame)", "Windows Media Audio v10" (you will have to look at the help file for wma how to extract the wma command line.

Did you try looking at the examples here: http://www.dbpoweramp.com/developer-scripting-dmc.htm ?

Moved to the Developer section of this forum

Re: dbpoer amp and MS Access

Thanks for your replies.

I have changed the code so that it is trying to change an mp3 into an mp3.

Dim dMC

            Set dMC = CreateObject("dMCScripting.Converter")
            newFile = "D:\Test_MP3_To_WMA_Result\2474_1_0_clip.mp3"
            Call dMC.Convert("D:\Test_MP3_To_WMA\2474_1_0_clip.mp3", newFile, "mp3 (Lame)", "-b=128", "")

However when I try to run this script I am getting the message:

Object doesn't support this property or method.


Any ideas.

Re: dbpoer amp and MS Access

Hi,

Sorry about this but does anyone have any ideas?

It could be a show stopper and I will have to move away from dbpowerAmp

Tried using the code here unchanged (except for filenames)?

Re: dbpoer amp and MS Access

Hi,

Yes I have tried that. One of the first things that I had to do was to put SET infront of dMC = CreateObject("dMCScripting.Converter").

That now works but when I try to CALL dMC.Convert I am getting an error.

Re: dbpoer amp and MS Access

EDIT:

0. Try it without the "Call " prefix and see if that makes a difference.

If not...

1. Does this file really exist at this filepath? "D:\Test_MP3_To_WMA\2474_1_0_clip.mp3"

2. Does this directory really exist at this path: "D:\Test_MP3_To_WMA_Result"

3. Does the current user have read privileges in the input directory?

4. Does the current user have write privileges in the output directory?
