media_scan — Scan the specified media file for attributes
use Wacs;
use Wacs::WacsId;
scalar media_scan( | pathname); |
scalar pathname;The media_scan function initiates a scan of the
specified file path for it's detailed attributes. This should include
height and width, codec, etc for all types of media, and additional
information where appropriate like duration for video files. The
initial implementation uses the perl Image::ExifTool library for this
purpose but that may change in time. On completion of the scan, the
filename is returned by the function - this can then be used as the
parameter to media_get_attr to select the specific media object and
attribute to query.
