Detailed Description

Reads video metadata tags using FFmpeg Raw values for Orientation & Date are read quickly via FFmpeg API.

However, as collating and interpreting other tags is messy and dependant on internal FFmpeg changes, informational data is derived via mythffprobe (a slow operation)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

VideoMetaData()

VideoMetaData::VideoMetaData ( const QString &  filePath )

explicit

Constructor. Opens best video stream from video.

Parameters

filePath

Absolute video path

Definition at line 508 of file imagemetadata.cpp.

~VideoMetaData()

VideoMetaData::~VideoMetaData ( )

override

Destructor. Closes file.

Definition at line 531 of file imagemetadata.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

IsValid()

bool VideoMetaData::IsValid ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Implements ImageMetaData.

Definition at line 488 of file imagemetadata.cpp.

Referenced by GetAllTags(), VideoMetaData(), and ~VideoMetaData().

GetAllTags()

QStringList VideoMetaData::GetAllTags ( )

overridevirtual

Reads relevant video metadata by running mythffprobe.

Warning

Blocks for up to 5 secs

As video tags are unstructured they are massaged into groups of format, stream0, streamN to segregate them and permit reasonable display ordering. The stream indices reflect the stream order returned by mythffprobe and do not necessarily correlate with FFmpeg streams

Returns

List of encoded video metadata tags
