Autometic video duration store on metadata field

[Naeem Abdulla]

Hi

Can you please help me to get file video duration of a file automatically once file uploaded to resourcespace. Exiftool is installed on server, however i didnt have any idea to get those information to metadata field.

Hello,

In the metadata field you want this value to appear in, add duration to the Exiftool field entry.

It can be helpful to enable the Metadata report (Admin > System > Configuration > Metadata:). This will show you all of the possible EXIF data in the resource. It also indicates which fields it has populated with EXIF data.

Hi Jim,

Naeem,

It sounds like your expectation is that existing files will be updated. Please try uploading a new video file to see if duration is picked up. 

If you enable the Metadata report you will be able to see duration ( and all the EXIF data ) for existing files and can add it manually.

Hi Jim,

Exif field was set to duration earlier before uploading files.
