6 [getid3] Make it work on Windows - ID: 1433057
Last Update: Settings changed ( ckdake )

getid3 needs "application helpers" or so to work on
Windows.
Also, there is a restriction that these helpers need to
be in a path that has no spaces in it.

We don't know what getid3 lib version the module is
based on.

- Document it (what version was used, what changes were
made)
- make it work on windows
- if possible, work around the "no spaces in path" issue.

My efforts to get it to work on windows were ignored when I started to
work on flash video / transcode. Sorry I never completed this task. I
suggest we remove most (if not all) of the parts that need "application
helpers" we don't care if getid3 gives up md5 checksums and such. If we
did we should create a module / toolkit with an md5sum property. I had
some other good changes that implemented some extra properties (dimensions,
and dimensions-and-duration). I should create a patch and/or review for
those, so they don't get lost.

Still 3 pretty fatal failures:
- testCreateDescription()
(expected '8000Hz sine', actual 'original title 0')
- testGetId3ArchiveDataTar() php error on unpack()
(expected some array attr value pairs, actual: null)
- testGetId3ArchiveDataTgz() php error on unpack()
(expected some array attr value pairs, actual: null)

On 3-Aug I updated getid3 module to use GetID3 version 1.7.7 (merged in;
we still have some local changes in place).

Andy/Don, what is the status of this module/unit tests on windows now?

Thanks for the update Don.
I patched my svn version with your patch. There haven't been
any changes in the getid3 files since a long time and the
patch lines match.
- _Without_ your patch, I have 4 failing tests with 5 errors.
- With your patch I have 6 failing tests with 12 errors.
So it's gotten worse. Maybe that's just a superficial
summary though.

Could you maybe svn update and see if you get the same results?

The getid3 module was originally developed against 1.7.5 (I
think). I have put some effort into merging in changes from
1.7.6 and 1.7.7; hopefully it doesn't bump again before I
get it done. I have a script that helps rename .php's to
.inc's. The original php files use a lot of @'s to ignore
errors. Most are fixed.

I'm attaching an svn diff of my
gallery2/modules/getid3/lib/getid3 directory. I'm getting 2
failed unit tests, and the diff isn't against an svn updated
source tree.

Any update on this? Would be nice if the module finally
worked on Windows.
