I think the Universal build failed to compile.

I guess that's now fixed, because there is a reaper643+dev1226a_universal.dmg.

Thank you so much! It is a bit bittersweet though when API functions create undo points... Makes it impossible to use them in defer scripts without potentially spamming the undo history. Any chance this could be avoided?

I've spent a lot of time trying to get peak information on files without creating undo points (with the old action). I'm rather confident there's no way of doing it... And now with access to LUFS and RMS this would probably be even more valuable to scripters.

Here's a code example, if you're willing to look into it.

local extname = 'undo_test'

function ConcatPath(...) return table.concat({...}, package.config:sub(1, 1)) end

function SaveTrackValue(track, key, value)
    key = 'P_EXT:' .. extname .. '_' .. key
    reaper.GetSetMediaTrackInfo_String(track, key, value, true)
end

function LoadTrackValue(track, key, default)
    key = 'P_EXT:' .. extname .. '_' .. key
    local ret, value = reaper.GetSetMediaTrackInfo_String(track, key, '', false)
    if ret then return tonumber(value) or value end
    return default
end

function GetNormalizedMediaVolume(file, method, target)
    reaper.PreventUIRefresh(1)

    -- Save current item selection
    local sel_items = {}
    for i = reaper.CountSelectedMediaItems() - 1, 0, -1 do
        local item = reaper.GetSelectedMediaItem(0, i)
        sel_items[i + 1] = item
        -- Unselect all items
        reaper.SetMediaItemSelected(item, false)
    end

    -- Create a new item and select it
    local track = reaper.GetTrack(0, 0)
    local new_item = reaper.AddMediaItemToTrack(track)
    reaper.SetMediaItemSelected(new_item, true)

    -- Add a new take and create source from file
    local new_take = reaper.AddTakeToMediaItem(new_item)
    local new_source = reaper.PCM_Source_CreateFromFileEx(file, true)
    if not new_source then return 1 end
    reaper.SetMediaItemTake_Source(new_take, new_source)

    -- Extend item to source length (for normalize)
    local length = reaper.GetMediaSourceLength(new_source)
    if length == 0 then return 1 end
    reaper.SetMediaItemInfo_Value(new_item, 'D_LENGTH', length)

    -- Normalize item
    reaper.NormalizeItems(0, method, target, 0)
    local norm_vol = reaper.GetMediaItemTakeInfo_Value(new_take, 'D_VOL')

    reaper.DeleteTrackMediaItem(track, new_item)

    -- Restore item selection
    for _, item in ipairs(sel_items) do
        reaper.SetMediaItemSelected(item, true)
    end

    reaper.PreventUIRefresh(-1)
    return norm_vol
end


-- Add a track to the project if it has none
local track = reaper.GetTrack(0, 0)
if not track then
  reaper.InsertTrackAtIndex(0, true)
  track = reaper.GetTrack(0, 0)
end

-- Simulate an undo event that has not been included in a block yet
cnt = LoadTrackValue(track, 'myvalue', 0)
SaveTrackValue(track, 'myvalue', cnt);

-- Get a file that exists in any reaper installation
local res_path = reaper.GetResourcePath()
file_path = ConcatPath(res_path, 'Data', 'amp_models', 'Fender Deluxe - Tweed Champ.wav')

-- Try to get normalized volume without creating an undo point
reaper.Undo_BeginBlock()
vol = GetNormalizedMediaVolume(file_path, 3, -14)
reaper.Undo_EndBlock('How can this undo block be avoided?', 0)
