dMCScripting.Converter

[Graeme Baillie]

I'm attempting to read the id3 tags created by dBpoweramp within my .wav files
I'm doing this through python 2.7 and am utilising the win32api and win32com.client on my windows 7 PC.
However it appears that I need the dMCScripting.Converter in order to access audio information via
AudioProperties and ReadIDTagElementValue
Where and how do I obtain dMCScripting.Converter and am I even on the right track?

Re: dMCScripting.Converter

It is installed with dBpoweramp, try the scripting .vbs example, save the file and run it from your computer, if dMCScripting.Converter is working it will show various things.

Re: dMCScripting.Converter

Thanks for instantaneous response - however I don't appear to have any .vbs files installed within dBpoweramp. Is it possible I installed code without scripting features (I was originally only interested in ripping and converting my music collection and setting tag information)

Re: dMCScripting.Converter

Apologies - it's late - didn't realise the vbs script was in your web pages. Copied the script and ran - everything ran ok so it would appear that dMCScripting.Converter is installed and is working.

However - python code:-
dmc = win32com.client.Dispatch("dMCScripting.Converter")

just returns error
com_error: (-2147221164, 'Class not registered', None, None)

Try changing dMCScripting.Converter to dMCScriptinglib.Converter

Re: dMCScripting.Converter

thanks - ok did that, but now have:
Traceback (most recent call last):

think I'm now out in python error country - unless anyone has any ideas
