Integration with File Entity Module?

per http://getid3.sourceforge.net/ getid3() library does not support flv files. However it does state that it works with swf files.

That said, I believe you must have access to the actual file and not trying to pull from a 3rd party. ie: youtube. Sounds more like you want the feeds.module or some other to pull date from youtube or the media: youtube.module

the best way to answer your question however, is to test it on a test install.

Crossposting #780848: Merge getID3 with FileField Meta in Drupal 7

Change this to mention integration with File entity module. The getID3 schema could be deprecated and utilize File Entity's metadata attribute to autoload and attach ID3 information on the actual entity. This can be set on hook_file_presave(), which is when File Entity does its work as well.

Since this module doesn't seem to be maintained, I've spun up a fork (versus writing endless patches) that could serve as the modules 7.x-2.x, which implements file_entity integration: https://www.drupal.org/sandbox/mglaman/2328073

@mglaman Have you considered stepping up as maintainer/co maintainer?

@steinmb - yes, see #2303681: getID3() Offer to Co-Maintain

I've tried contacting project owner and co-maintainers - both via D.o contact forms and stalking IRC. Reached a point where need to actual working project trumped typical procedures.

I think we should avoid forking projects and create even more modules on drupal.org that does more and less the same. I have moved your co maintainer issue to the right project. You could update it with the info you provided in #7.

Now have the 7.x-2.x branch :) Updating.

The 7.x-2.x branch implements File Entity integration. The 7.x-1.x will maintain its own metadata table.

Good job! See if you, while at it, can remove the no longer used master branch - https://www.drupal.org/empty-git-master

steinmb, thanks for reminder! Done :)
