Hello

in my DB fin FMPadv 13 I have containers with movies. Is there a way to calculate the duration of these films?

I dont have the GetContainerAttribute in my application and i understand it will not return many infos for Movies.

Is there an Applescript I could use to get the duration?

Thanks a lot

You might be able to do this with ScriptMaster. Talk to 360Works.

What type are your movie files? And are they embedded in the container field, or are they stored externally?

With MBS FileMaker Plugin you can use various functions for this.

You can use QTMovie or AVAsset to open the video/audio file and read metadata like duration.

Or if you show it in an interactive container to run javascript with WebView.RunJavaScript and query duration.

My bad, I should've said MBS can probably come to the rescue, as well. Apologies.
