How to get image capture date and video duration when uploading files using SWFUpload and Paperclip
- by Hatem
Hi Guys,
I'm using SWFUpload and Paperclip on Rails 2.3.5 to upload images and videos. How can I store the capture date of images and duration of videos?
The following works correctly in irb:
irb(main):001:0> File.new('hatem.jpg').mtime
=> Tue Mar 09 16:56:38 +0200 2010
But when I try to use Paperclip's before_post_process:
before_post_process :get_file_info
def get_file_info
puts File.new(self.media.to_file.path).mtime # =>Wed Apr 14 18:36:22 +0200 2010
end
I get the current date instead of the capture date. How can I fix this?
Also, how can I get the video duration and store it with the model?
Thank you.
