Hi Damien
I've noticed that the ffmpeg-php API[1] allows the retrieval of a bunch of metadata about the video. One attribute that is particularity useful is the duration and i know that some projects I have worked on would be interested in author, copyright etc.
What are your thoughts on storing this information as part of eZVideoFLV, so it's accessible from templates? I was thinking that you'd add a metadata attribute to eZVideoFLV, retrieve as much as you could and store it as XML. There's be a functional attribute that converted the XML to an array to it could be easily used in templates.
Again, happy to contribute and do the work but would like your input/blessing :)
Cheers
Bruce

Hi Bruce,
This feature is in my TODO list. I also thought about using textual informations (title, comment, ...) in eZVideoFLVType::metaData() to have videos indexed by the search engine.
Feel free to implement it.
Cheers,

Hi Damien
Added some commits today that store the metadata as a serialised array. To do this I :
+ appended a column, 'serialized_metadata' to the ezvideoflv table (updated the sql in sql/ezvideoflv.sql)
+ added attribute 'serialized_metadata' & function attributes 'metadata' & 'duration' to datatypes/ezvideoflv/ezvideoflv.php
+ updated datatypes/ezvideoflv/ezvideoflvtype.php to store metadata
+ updated design/standard/templates/content/datatype/edit/ezvideoflv.tpl so that duration is displayed in edit interface.
Happy to discuss, modify, revert...
Cheers
Bruce
