ComfyUI Node: VRGDG_GetIndexNumber

VRGDG_GetIndexNumber:

The VRGDG_GetIndexNumber node is designed to efficiently count the number of video files in a specified directory that match a particular naming pattern, specifically those ending with *-audio.mp4. This node is particularly useful in scenarios where you need to process or manage a collection of video files that have been generated or modified in a batch process. By automating the counting of these files, the node helps streamline workflows that involve video processing, ensuring that you can easily keep track of the number of relevant files without manually checking each one. This capability is essential for tasks that require precise file management and organization, such as video editing, batch processing, or automated video analysis.

VRGDG_GetIndexNumber Input Parameters:

folder_path

The folder_path parameter specifies the directory path where the node will search for video files. It is crucial for determining the location of the files to be counted. The parameter should be a valid directory path, and the node will return a count of files that match the *-audio.mp4 pattern within this directory. If the directory does not exist or is inaccessible, the node will return a count of zero. This parameter does not have a default value, as it requires explicit specification of the directory to be scanned.

VRGDG_GetIndexNumber Output Parameters:

index

The index output parameter provides the count of video files in the specified directory that match the *-audio.mp4 naming pattern. This integer value is crucial for understanding how many relevant files are present in the directory, which can inform subsequent processing steps or decisions in your workflow. The output is straightforward and directly reflects the number of matching files found, making it easy to interpret and use in further automation or processing tasks.

VRGDG_GetIndexNumber Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the folder_path parameter is correctly set to the directory containing your video files to avoid incorrect file counts.
• Use this node in conjunction with other nodes that process video files to automate and streamline your workflow, especially in batch processing scenarios.

VRGDG_GetIndexNumber Common Errors and Solutions:

Failed to scan folder

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified folder_path is not a valid directory or is inaccessible due to permission issues.
• Solution: Verify that the folder_path is correct and that you have the necessary permissions to access the directory. Ensure that the path is not pointing to a file or a non-existent directory.
