I need to read the date metadata from a bunch of videos. I think I want to use mediainfo for this task. I therefore want to add it to my package build.jl
file using BinDeps
. I managed to create this build.jl file, but it doesn’t seem to work (I’m testing it on a “fresh” Windows laptop, simulating what some of my target users will work with).
I’d really appreciate some guidance…! I chose mediainfo
mainly because it seemed easier to install via BinDeps
than say exiftool
.
Thanks in advance!
Sheesh, I’m hitting a wall here. I got it to download MediaIndo’s dlls and all, but it throws an error, not sure what to do. Let me know if you have an idea:

OK, I decided it will be a lot easier to just download the executable for exiftool
…
So, my build.jl
file should download an executable from a specific url depending on the current platform (unix, win, osx), and then name it in such a way that I can use it like this:
name = "path_to_executable"
run(`$name videofile.mp4`)`
I tried doing just that using BinDeps.jl
, but can’t make it work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
OK… I got it to work, but only by putting the following in a try
block (you can see the build.jl
file here)…
try
@BinDeps.install Dict(:exiftool => :exiftool)
end
