We are generating a .rv file via python, from a shotgun menu.
Python localises the sequences on our review station, and generates and launches the .rv. The shots range from HD (9MB/file) to 4/6K (50MB/file).
We found our sweet spots for reader threading, but unfortunately its different per show.
Is there a way to set the Preferences in general, Reader Threads to be more specific, via the .rv file?
Thanks
Hi Nick,
If the breakdown of preferred settings is across shows, you could utilize the hierarchical preferences to set different preference defaults/overrides for each show.
Check out the reference chapter on these preferences here:
http://www.tweaksoftware.com/static/documentation/rv/current/html/rv_reference.html#Chapter_15_Hierarchical_Preferences
If you create a preference file that defines the overrides and then point the environment variable RV_PREFS_CLOBBER_PATH at a directory with your override for the show, it will force all the preferences defined in that file.
Since the RV_PREFS_CLOBBER_PATH can actually take multiple locations separated by :, you can even include multiple paths for RV to search over.
Would that approach work for you?
That will work. I can Edit the Reader Threads line in the .ini via python before the .rv file is launched.
thanks!
