Sharing some things I've learned

[Piero]

Side Note: to make this screenshot I had to record screen with Quicktime Player

[Piero]

It's not very clear in this image (I used it for another post) but...

I have the spring of a pen on the end of my power chord, to make it more durable

Edit: "power chord" ... I meant power cord; I communicate too much with musicians

To download an up-to-date AppleScript Language Guide to consult offline (there's an "older" PDF version online anyway…):

Use wget:

Code: Select all

wget -m -p -E -k -np https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/AppleScript/Conceptual/AppleScriptLangGuide/

then (just an example…) replace "robots.txt" with a .html file like this…………………………………

When you are using a "smartphone" and feel the urge to smash it to a thousand pieces, remember there are a lot of very good reasons to do it.

Here I poll ffmpeg output (it logs on stderr) in AppleScript, to print the % of completion (and ETA) on a progress dialog…

PLEASE BE SURE TO READ BELOW FOR "INSTALLATION" INSTRUCTIONS.

This creates a "Loudmaxed" copy of DROPPED audio or video files.
Audio will be ENHANCED!
You can also choose files via dialog by running it (double click).
Multichannel (surround) sound will be made stereo.
If a video is multi-language/multi-audio, you can choose the right track to process.
If a video is subtitled, you can optionally keep one of the subtitles.
Copies are saved on the same folder of the original, and will be overwritten if you process the original again.

Export this script as an application, after you pasted it on Script Editor...
You can easily change the icon of the exported app:
https://support.apple.com/lv-lv/guide/mac-help/mchlp2313/mac

You need to download and "install" 3 free softwares (put them into the finder window that will open when you run the "incomplete" version of this app).

You can also normally install LoudMax.vst (into /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/)

I had missed piping support on mrswatson help

So today I HUGELY changed (updated) the script on post above, even by adding a RAM disk to reduce SSD stress
 

[Piero]

This is a "multithread" version using Terminal…

I tried to avoid all the weird bugs happening on drag-n-drop, e.g. when SOME of the files are quarantined, or when files are of different "kinds"………

Better if you install ffpb (/opt/homebrew/bin/ffpb)

Hope it can help!
Piero
 
Edit: removed the "on run" handler that had no sense here; this is to demonstrate what I had to do to avoid drag-n-drop bugs; they were even affecting "Terminal polling for ended processes"... I hope this can be somewhat useful to refine PB drag-n-drop handling (GRRR Apple)
