Im trying to set up PM using the Code Replacement tool.

Ive created a text file with the player names and codes and then set the code replacements but i can't get it to show correctly in the Metadata.

Everytime i load xmp some of the player codes end up mixed up with the metadata before i even put the caption in?

cheers
kevin

Hi Kev its fairly straightforward to sort out. the main thing is it needs to be a .TXT file so write it in Textedit or similar for Mac and whatever the equivalent is for PC

When writing it you need to have the full caption separated from the code replacement by a tab, make sure if you make any changes to the file to remove it from PM then load it again, hope this makes sense but i've not had my morning brew yet

Feel free to PM

Just make sure you have

code the tab the text then carriage return. and as Andy says, make sure it's .txt not rich text.

Hi Kevin, have you managed to get it sorted. If not drop me a pm, I have some files with me today, so happy to give it a go if you like.
