I'm trying to use guano_edit.py to add Loc Position to a WAV file that contains other GUANO metadata but I'm getting errors. It is probably a Python NOOB issue but

guano_edit.py 'Loc Position: (1, 1)' 20231102_210205_NoID.wav produces an error guano_edit.py 'Loc Position: (1, 1)' 20231102_210205_NoID.wav {'Loc Position': '(1, 1)'}

20231102_210205_NoID.wav Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/user/.local/bin/guano_edit.py", line 100, in main() File "/home/user/.local/bin/guano_edit.py", line 96, in main update(gfile, md, dry_run=DRY_RUN) File "/home/user/.local/bin/guano_edit.py", line 75, in update print(gfile.to_string()) File "/home/user/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/guano.py", line 418, in to_string v = self._serialize(k, v) File "/home/user/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/guano.py", line 228, in _serialize return serialize(value) File "/home/user/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/guano.py", line 177, in 'Loc Position': lambda value: '%f %f' % value, TypeError: must be real number, not str

I have tried other types of Position formats with the same error. What is the correct format please?

Are you able to try https://github.com/riggsd/guano-py/blob/master/bin/guano_edit.py on master branch?

There was indeed a bug which wasn't coercing value types on the way in, that should now be fixed.

Values should be specified just as they're represented in the GUANO metadata, eg:

./bin/guano_edit.py  'Loc Position: 37.18780 -86.10573'  filename.wav

This was perfect. I'm still getting done minor errors on some files with recreating the wav file but I'll persist and see. Thanks for speedy assistance
