afatac Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Using version 4.1 Recently I re-imported many images and videos that were tagged earlier using Daminion into a new catalog. The xmp data embedded in images are imported correctly, but not for video. As can be seen from the screenshot, XMP data is available in the video. Why are they not imported to the corresponding fields? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afatac Posted February 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I tried re-importing a MP4 video tagged recently using Daminion. The xmp values are imported successfully to corresponding fields. See attached screenshot. I notice that XMP Toolkit is XMP Core 5.5.0, which is different from the video tagged earlier (see attachment in my first post). The Toolkit shown is ExifTool 9.78. Could this be the reason? How to solve this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afatac Posted February 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 After further research and read this reply, https://daminion.net/user-forum/index.php?/topic/1643-can-xmp-metadata-be-written-to-mp4-video/page__view__findpost__p__6668 I conclude that the xmp metadata that was written by using ExifTool are not able to be extracted and shown after the MP4 files are imported. For some reasons, sometimes our MP4 containers are created differently. See screenshots. Those with "MP4 Base Media v1" are the ones that have XMP metadata written by using ExifTool. Hi Murat, any help regarding this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murat Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Did you send me a sample video file? If no, can you please send me it to support/at/daminion/dot/net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murat Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Thanks for the file. Unfortunately XMPToolkit doesn't recognize the XMP block in your video file. LR5 also doesn't see. We've added an option to try import XMP block by ExifTool when it can't be read by XMPToolkit. It should be set by adjustment of Daminion Server settings file manually (Video_UseExifToolWhenXMPisNotFoundByXMPToolkit) Will be available in the next build.

afatac Posted April 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Hi Murat, I have downloaded and installed Daminion 4.5 (1441) standalone but the xmp data are still not read. Is the option already added in 4.5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murat Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 You can install Daminion 4.5, adjust your settings file (by setting Video_UseExifToolWhenXMPisNotFoundByXMPToolkit parameter) and import your video file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afatac Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hi Murat, Sorry that I do not understand your statement. Do you mean that is a settings file for making the adjustment? Where is the location of the file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgrondin Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 You will find the settings in your windows AppData on my machine running Daminion Server 4.5.0 1443 : Users/yourname/AppData/Roaming/Daminion Software/Daminion.1.0/Settings It is an XML File The section you want is 3/4 of the way down, and will initially appear as: -<PicaJet.Daminion.Common.Settings.MediaProcessorSettings> -<setting serializeAs="String" name="TryToReadXMPByExifToolWhenXMPIsNotFoundByXMPToolKit"> <value/> Based on other lines in the file, I would expect that you would change the end of this to <value>True</value> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afatac Posted April 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hi PG36, Thanks, that works! Unfortunately, the ExifTool Read function does not support UTF-8. The embedded Chinese characters are read as ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
