I’m hoping this is simple. My script below takes a .mov file, converts it and then deletes the .mov file from iTunes.
Perhaps this is my faulty understanding, but what happens is that there is still a reference to the deleted .mov file in iTunes. My attempt to specifically remove it doesn’t affect it. Get info on the file in the iTunes browser indicates it’s missing.
Why does the reference not get deleted? thanx, sam
