PyObjC, XCode 3, QTKit - accessing QT Timecode Track info

[ateale]

Hi guys!

I am having a bit of difficulty trying to get to a 'timecode' track in a QuickTime file using the QTKit framework in Mac OSX 10.5
I am using XCode 3.

I have a QTMovie object (set as self.movie) and I can get my python fingers into it a little.
This is what I can get to so far

		allTracks = self.movie.tracksOfMediaType_("tmcd")
		if len(self.movie.tracks()) > 0:
			# First make sure we have at least one video track with a non zero length
			allMedia = [track.movie() for track in allTracks]

			for media in allMedia:
				test = media.attributeForKey_('QTMediaTimeScaleAttribute')
				print media
				print test
				#print test.QTTimeValue().timeValue
				break

			for track in allTracks:
				print track.media().mediaAttributes()
				print track.movie().movieAttributes()

Unfortunately I can't find out how to return the "currentTim e" (current frame) of the timecode track. It is easy enough to return the currentTime of the Video track (self.movie.cur rentTime()), but i have no idea how to get to the value for the Timecode track.

I have been scouring the web for PyObjC examples of QTKit and accessing the details of the Timecode track and return a SMPTE formatted String.

Can anyone offer up any ideas?

Cheers!

Adam
