Accessing SG Tracking Info for a given source

@jacobg

def _get_source_shotgun_data(source):
    """
    Get the shotgun data from a source.

    Args:
        source (str): rv source name.

    Returns:
        dict: shotgun data as a dictionary.

    """
    try:
        source_data = rv.commands.getStringProperty(
            "{}.tracking.info".format(source)
            )

        data_list = ast.literal_eval(str(source_data))
    except:
        return {}

    return {k: v for k, v in zip(data_list, data_list[1:])}

It’s important to wait until the tracking info is populated though

@Michael.Kessler

As far as the fields for the track.info on each source, they aren’t created immediately. They are created asynchronously slightly after the source is created. If you are trying to access them on source-group-complete, it will be too soon for the API query to have filled out the data. Instead, watch for graph-state-change where tracking.info is in the event.contents().
