New MediaFile Listener

[jphipps]

I see there is a listener for new mediafiles that are imported, is there anyway to identify when a new recording is added? I want to process a recording as soon as it is completed to build some metadata for the recording and want to do it as soon as the recording is completed...

Thanks,
Jeff

I took advantage of Sage's MediaFileMetadataParser plugin interface for bmt. I'm not sure if it's gets called when the recording is started, or finished, but it does get called. You can look at the bmt implementation if you want to see how I use it.

That is quite a coinsidence... I was just looking at that same source on google.... I had seen your comments in the debug log during a library import and decided to check on google... Is there any docs on that?

Thanks,
Jeff

I think I orginally stumbled across this via a plugin that greg wrote, which was doing something different, but I got the general idea from there.

There is only one method to override...

public Object extractMetadata(File file, String arg)

File is your media file, arg is ???? so ignore it, and it should return a java.util.Map<String,String> of the metadata where key is a Sage metadata property key.

Thanks for the info, I will give it a try and see what damage I can cause..

Thanks for all of your work ( and Mike, etc.. ) on phoenix also...
