How to set frame rate of a shot in maya scene

Question

So basically i have to retrieve the value of frame rate of a shot from shotgun and then set it to the shot opened in Maya but I am not able to see any changes in the frame rate value:

def query_frame_rate():
    """
    Shot level : return frame_rate value for shot if it's present
    Hierarchy level : If frame_rate is not present in shot it goes for corresponding project 
                      and then extract the frame_rate value from the Project
    """
    sht_entity = db_query.query_context("entity")
    result = sg.find_one("Shot", [["id", "is", sht_entity["id"]]], ["sg_frame_rate"])

    frame_rate = result["sg_frame_rate"]
    
    if frame_rate == None:

        project = sg.find_one("Shot", [["id", "is", sht_entity["id"]]], ["project"])
        project_id = project["project"]["id"]
        result = sg.find_one("Project", [["id", "is", project_id]], ["sg_frame_rate"])
        
        frame_rate = result["sg_frame_rate"]
  
    return frame_rate 
    

if __name__ == "__main__":
     
    frame_per_second = query_frame_rate()
    frame_per_second = 16.0
    import maya.cmds as cmds


    cmds.playbackOptions(minTime=cmds.playbackOptions(q=True, minTime=True),
                     maxTime=cmds.playbackOptions(q=True, maxTime=True),
                     fps=16.0)

    #cmds.playbackOptions( fps=frame_per_second )
    print("Done frame rate has been set to {}".format(frame_per_second))

So yes that's the only issue i am facing here, any help would be great Thanks

Answer 1

playbackOptions command can be used to query the value, in order to set the value you can use currentUnit command https://help.autodesk.com/cloudhelp/2019/ENU/Maya-Tech-Docs/Commands/currentUnit.html but you have to set your value as a rate standard string name like pal, ntsc

for example // Change the current time unit to ntsc currentUnit -time ntsc;
