DPX sequence to MOV script with Audio & TC - Batch not working

Can please someone here help me out on this topic, i am new to AFX/java scripting and i already spent around 15h on that

subject but it simply does not work-

the background:

we are shooting DPX sequences with a Convergent Design ODYSSEY SSD recorder, thats the only way for it to get perfect

image quality inside the box, i want 4:4:4 and RGB together with minimal compression (and the box is not yet able to do ProRes4444).

For editing/finishing purpose it is way easier to work with .MOV files instead of image sequences (as we are producing around 100.000 DPX files a day,

compared to around 80 .MOV files)

the task:

create a script that imports a DPX sequence from a folder,

imports the corresponding .WAV file with same starting name too,

creates a new timeline in AFX "from DPX sequence selection" (to keep the timcode!)

renders that timeline with a given output module to another given folder

deletes all items and projects afterwards

Somehow, I managed to do that, it works most of the time but function "app.executeCommand(app.findMenuCommandId("New Comp from Selection"

seems to be buggy somehow, does not work everytime or just after you did that at least once manually inside AFX ?

the bonus task (thats where i failed)

create a folder selection dialog that reads all subfolders (with the corresponding DPX sequences inside) to an array

use that array to get the sequence file names and count the number of Sub-directories

do the above (Seq conversion from "the task") to ALL THOSE SUBDIRECTORIES (using the names from the array)

this cant be that complex ... right ???

i tried to implement it but somehow i always get the error "/e/ODYSSEY/S020_AK0787/S020_AK0787_0000000.dpx is not a File or Folder"

(as this is the image sequence that should be imported - there must be some wrong interpretation between the file name with whole filepath and

the import function ?)

Any help is hugely appreciated, i am also willing to donate for help/a working script

(as i cannot afford to enter around 1.000 folders by myself)

i can also provide such a Odyssey file structure for testing/help purposes via wetransfer

thanks
