Multimedia

The Metadata Extractor API provides functions for extracting the metadata from an input media file.

Required Header

#include <metadata_extractor.h>

Overview

The Metadata Extractor API allows you to extract the metadata from a media file. To extract a particular type of metadata(metadata_extractor_attr_e), create/destory the handle(metadata_extractor_create()/metadata_extractor_destroy). To set the path for extracting, and call metadata_extractor_get_metadata().

Functions

int metadata_extractor_set_buffer (metadata_extractor_h metadata, const void *buffer, int size)
 Sets the buffer to extract.
int metadata_extractor_destroy (metadata_extractor_h metadata)
 Destroys metadata.
int metadata_extractor_get_metadata (metadata_extractor_h metadata, metadata_extractor_attr_e attribute, char **value)
 Gets metadata.
int metadata_extractor_get_artwork (metadata_extractor_h metadata, void **artwork, int *size, char **mime_type)
 Gets the artwork image in a media file.
int metadata_extractor_get_frame (metadata_extractor_h metadata, void **frame, int *size)
 Gets the frame of a video media file.
int metadata_extractor_get_synclyrics (metadata_extractor_h metadata, int index, unsigned long *time_stamp, char **lyrics)
 Gets the synclyrics of a media file.
int metadata_extractor_get_frame_at_time (metadata_extractor_h metadata, unsigned long timestamp, bool is_accurate, void **frame, int *size)
 Gets the frame of a video media.
