I was wondering how I can write metadata/properties (comments specifically and other information) to a video file (mainly .mp4), using PHP.
Here is my function that I use to download a remote file ($sourceURL) to a local destination ($destinationURL). I am able to rename the file with the $destinationURL (just end it with /video.mp4). I am currently using cURL, but if it can only be done by something like fopen()/fwrite(), then I am open to suggestions :)
function downloadFile( $sourceURL, $destinationURL ) { $options = array( CURLOPT_FILE => is_resource( $destinationURL ) ? $destinationURL : fopen( $destinationURL, 'w' ), CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true, CURLOPT_URL => $sourceURL, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR => true, ); $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt_array( $ch, $options ); $return = curl_exec( $ch ); if ( $return === false ) { return curl_error( $ch ); } else { return true; }}
What I have tried:
- getID3(): http://getid3.sourceforge.net/ Perhaps I am missing something, but when I try to write to an mp4 file, it gives me this error:
Changing the tag format to "id3v1" doesn't work either.
If I'm not mistaken, the tag format's "id3v2.3" and "id3v1" only work with .mp3 files.
- Answers from: writing exif data in php - These only seem to work for image files
Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to any comments/answers I may receive.
Kind Regards
