How_To_Deal_With_Nested_Folders ?

[pulsarstar]

Hi Guys,
I could do with some help with my script please.
I am not very good with coding!
My script will accept a video file that is inside a container folder.
But if the container folder is nested, I get an Error returned.
Example: This works "G:/Folder1\video.mkv
This Does not work ":G/Folder1\Folder2\video.mkv
Oops
No mkv files found in "G:/Folder1"
As you would expect.
   Could someone please amend my script to show me how
I can deal with nested folders.
Thanks for your help.

My script

It is basically from https://avidemux.org/smif/index.php?msg=91175 with adjusted audoCodec() and audioSetNormalize2() arguments.

But if the container folder is nested, I get an Error returned.

If I am not mistaken, recursion is not possible with the internal tinyPy scripting. You would need to use a mix of Windows-specific cmd.exe or PowerShell scripting and the Avidemux-internal tinyPy one. Users dosdan and butterw could provide valuable help on this topic.

Thank you for your help eumagga0x2a.
Sounds like I am getting out of my depths in the coding department !
