Introduction

What does it do?

This extension offers five metadata extraction services to gather metadata that is stored within files uploaded to a TYPO3 installation using the extension Digital Asset Management (DAM):

  • tx_svmetaextract_sv1: Extracts IPTC data from image files using PHP function “getimagesize” and “iptcparse”.
  • tx_svmetaextract_sv2: Extracts EXIF data from image files using PHP function “exif_read_data”.
  • tx_svmetaextract_sv3: Extracts EXIF data from image files using third-party library “exiftags”.
  • tx_svmetaextract_sv4: Extracts EXIF/IPTC/XMP data from image, video and audio files using third-party library “exiftool”.
  • tx_svmetaextract_sv5: Extracts metadata from PDF files using third- party library “pdfinfo”.

Once the extension is installed, files that are being indexed in DAM are passed to the service with highest quality and priority and metadata is extracted and written to the DAM record.

Screenshots

The extension has no user interface. But since it depends on PHP functions and third-party libraries, you can check the service availability in the Reports > Installed services module in the TYPO3 backend.
