 |
|
Hi!
I noticed that I couldn't fast-forward / search flac-files in Amarok. So I made a little script to take care of that. What the script does is that it adds seekpoints to flac-files.
The script:
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
if [ ! "$1" ]; then
echo "Give a path as argument"
exit 1
fi
function is_seekable
{
if [ ! "$1" ]; then
exit 1
fi
if [ "$(metaflac --list --block-type=SEEKTABLE "$1" 2> /dev/null)" = "" ]; then
if metaflac --list --block-type=SEEKTABLE "$1" 2> /dev/null; then
return 1
else
return 0
fi
else
return 0
fi
}
count=0
while read i; do
if ! is_seekable "$i"; then
metaflac --add-seekpoint=1s "$i"
echo "* Added seekpoints to file $i"
let count++
fi
done < <(find "$1" -name "*.flac" -type f)
if [ $count -eq 0 ]; then
echo "There were no flac files without checkpoints in folder $1"
else
echo "Successfully added seekpoints to $count flac file(s)"
fi |
The seekpoint interval is now set to 1 second. This isn't necessary and if you feel that you don't need that many points you can just change it to a higher number. For example:
| Code: | | --add-seekpoint=10s |
To run the script:
| Code: | $ ./script musicfolder
$ ./script file.flac |
If you give a folder as argument it looks for flac files recursive.
Note: I'm not an experienced BASH programmer so there might be flaws in the script. But it works for me  If you have suggestions I'm happy to take them.
