montonero Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Is there any plans about introducing API for import/descriptions plugins? I would like to make a plugin for a video/audio information importing. Current abilities (especially for video files) are really miserable. Quote
rene Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 what kind of information do you mean? Do you want to load information from websites giving information about movies? Quote
kalain Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 At least Lat / Long GPS coordinates for .MOV file! Still not importing these minimum datas! Yes, this is a shame... Quote
Murat Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 I've tried to compose a draft Media Processor API. Let me know if you'll have any questions. At least Lat / Long GPS coordinates for .MOV file! Still not importing these minimum datas! Yes, this is a shame... It's not a problem to parse and extract metadata from EXIF section, if it was written according to the EXIF specification. But some vendors ignores this rule and thus it's hard to find and extract the EXIF.MakerNote block from your MOV files because it was written in the MakerNote section of the EXIF using tricky way. At least it's tricky to our image processing library. Quote

Looks like you've inserted a wrong url. what kind of information do you mean? Do you want to load information from websites giving information about movies? No, I mean technical information. Like codecs, bitrates, tracks, chapters and such. However your proposal is also interesting and could be implemented. The only problem is absence of the API :) Quote
montonero Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Posted March 6, 2014 Thanks. Pretty clear description. The only question is what will happen if there is several MediaProcessors for the same file type? Quote
Murat Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 The first processor that can recognize the specified format will handle the file. I can say later what impacts to this order. Don't have to the code base now. Quote
montonero Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Posted March 12, 2014 Is it possible to make several processors to handle same files? For now one processor should do all work, it's not very flexible. Quote
montonero Posted July 13, 2014 Author Report Posted July 13, 2014 So what about processors chaining? Right now if I would to make my own processor I should do all the same things which does the native processor. Quote
Murat Posted July 22, 2014 Report Posted July 22, 2014 Current logic doesn't allow to handle the same file by multiple processors, but it's possible to facilitate some methods of the standard image processor to handle XMP metadata in files. Quote
montonero Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Posted July 26, 2014 but it's possible to facilitate some methods of the standard image processor to handle XMP metadata in files. I don't really understand how it should work... Quote
