Seamus

Seamus is not an Irish monk. Instead, it inspects a file and returns whatever metadata it can determine.

Usage

Mix Seamus in to your class and get a hash of #file_attributes appropriate to the file type. Provide an instance of File, or any class that responds to #path, and include Seamus:

class MyClass
  include Seamus
  attr_accessor :file

  def initialize(path)
    @path = File.open(path)
  end
end

my_file = MyClass.new("path/to/file.mov")
my_file.file_attributes

# => {"video_codec"=>"h264", "bitrate_units"=>"kb/s", "container"=>"mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2", "audio_channels_string"=>"stereo", "audio?"=>true, "audio_channels"=>2, "video?"=>true, "audio_sample_rate"=>44100, "bitrate"=>346, "audio_codec"=>"mpeg4aac", "video_colorspace"=>"yuv420p", "height"=>576, "audio_sample_units"=>"Hz", "fps"=>"7.00", "duration"=>84000, "width"=>1024}

Generate thumbnails automatically:

my_file.thumbnail {|thumb| my_open_file_instance.write thumb.read }

Files that probably can’t generate thumbnails (audio, PDF, etc.) will raise ThumbnailError.

Video and audio file attributes are inspected using the RVideo gem.

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

I’d be very surprised if anyone wanted to do such a thing.
