 GNU libextractor - Default branch
Section: Unix

About:
libextractor is a library used to extract meta-data from files of arbitrary type. It is designed to use helper-libraries to perform the actual extraction, and to be trivially extendable by linking against external extractors for additional file types. The goal is to provide developers of file-sharing networks, file managers, and WWW-indexing bots with a universal library to obtain meta-data about files. It includes a shell-command and bindings for Java (JNI) and Python.

[»] online demo not working
by Baloney - Jan 24th 2008 15:40:47

When I upload dmca.pdf all it gives me is mimetype. Am I missing something?

    There are two PDF plugins, one that is quite
    simplistic and another one based on code from
    xpdf (which has a bad security track record).
    Depending on which one I happen to enable on the
    website (options to configure), you get more or
    less information for PDF files.

[»] Also Requires gobject-2.0
by D Force - Jan 27th 2005 10:07:21

Can't seem to get the OLE2 libraries to compile, make complains:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.3/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lgobject-2.0

Oh, and you may want to include these dependencies within either the README or INSTALL files.

    Well, gobject-2.0 is part of glib, so it is listed as a dependency. What is more tricky is that we need the static, relocatable version of the library -- but try to specify that on freshmeat :-).

      Note that as of 0.5.3 LE still needs gobject-2.0 but the ordinary shared version will do fine now.

If you're looking for a similar project for PHP, checkout getid3. Also, if you just care about AVI and MPEG, the avinfo tool provides is a bit more information for these kinds of files compared to libextractor.
