Re: File Meta Sink question

[Hassel, George]

I'm still having some trouble with this issue.    If I try to add a File Meta Sink block, I get an error involving pmt.make_dict() that indicates that pmt is not defined:

If I try to add an import block, I can't change the case of "Import", and get an error message as shown

I'm having trouble finding any documentation to help with this.

Thanks!

Hello, 

I'm having some difficulty with saving metadata.   I'm trying to use File Meta Sink as a block in gnuradio companion, and I get an error message in the Extra Dict. filed that "Value "pmt.make_dict()" cannot be evaluated: name 'pmt' is not defined.    I try to add in an Import block that says Import pmt, and get an error that says "Param - Import(imports): Bad import syntax: "pmt".  

If I instead just use a python script with import pmt, I still get errors involving the File Meta Sink blocks. 

I tried to make sure that pmt was installed with pip3 install pmt, but that causes an error with finding the paths for gnuradio.   I resolved that by following the instructions at https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/ModuleNotFoundError, but again come back to the same errors involving pmt. 

My Ubuntu version is 22.10

My gnuradio version is 3.10.3.0

My python3 version is 3.10.7 

Thanks for any assistance you can provide!
