Subject: [Rubyosa-discuss] How to check if track already exists in iTunes
Message-ID: <F5B73F9B-829E-46FC-B6AE-2124208BAD47@shumkov.ru>

Hello guys!
How to check (if exists?) before adding file to iTunes?
I'm use:

         itunes = OSA.app('iTunes')
         library = itunes.sources.find {|s| s.kind ==  
OSA::ITunes::ESRC::LIBRARY }
         music = library.playlists.find { |playlist|  
playlist.special_kind == OSA::ITunes::ESPK::MUSIC }
         tracks = music.search(tag.artist, OSA::ITunes::ESRA::ARTISTS)  
rescue tracks = nil
         unless tracks.nil?
            begin
              itunes_track = tracks.find do |track|
                track.size == File.size(file_path) and track.name ==  
tag.title and track.artist == tag.artist
              end
            rescue
              sleep 2
              retry
            end
          else
            itunes_track = false
          end

But it is no good way!

This mailing list has gone very quiet with many unanswered questions,
and it also seems that Laurent is busy with MacRuby these days.

AFAICT, RubyOSA doesn't work with Ruby 1.8.7, and I'm skeptical that it
will work with 1.9.1.  So my obvious question is, what's the official
status of RubyOSA?

Laurent, will you be making further releases, or are you looking for a
new maintainer?

Indeed, I'm spending most of my time on MacRuby now.

I personally don't have the time to make any further RubyOSA releases,
so if one wants to take over the project's maintenance I would be very
happy to give the maintenance rights.

My plan for the future is to make MacRuby an OSA component and bundle
an appscript-like (so not RubyOSA-like, though I have not really
decided that yet) bridge with it. This should appear next year, maybe.
If any of you is interested in working in this, please let me know :-)

Laurent

Subject: [Rubyosa-discuss] scripting quicktime
Message-ID: <58f472cf0811301247r5e135193uc89188acddd4b3f5@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to script Quicktime Broadcaster but struggling to find
documentation on what objects to pass to certain methods.

The sdef for broadcaster says to send the 'start' command, and that takes 1
direct parameter:
<direct-parameter type="specifier" description="the object for the
command"/>
but I can't find information on what this should be.

Any ideas where to go from here?

thanks for reading.
