Description
Greetings,
By default getid3 path is built from module path and one more '/getid3' folder.
function getid3_get_path() {
return variable_get('getid3_path', drupal_get_path('module', 'getid3') .'/getid3');
}When visiting settings page after enabling module it says getid3 lib is not found and the path is 'modules/getid3/getid3' which is correct.
Here is the reason - you are adding one more superfluous folder '/getid3/getid3.php':
function _getid3_admin_settings_check_path($form_element) {
$path = $form_element['#value'];
if (!is_dir($path) || !file_exists($path .'/getid3/getid3.php')) {
......You probably have to change it to:
......
if (!is_dir($path) || !file_exists($path .'/getid3.php')) {
......

Does this do it?

not sure the patch works
i get no more error message, however i get this: Version GETID3_VERSION found.

Hi Rob,
same here; the patch applies cleanly, admin/settings/getid3 reports "Version GETID3_VERSION found" when saving the setting. The former error message ("The getID3 PHP library could not be found in modules/getid3/getid3") is gone, but the getid3 library still seems not to be found, at least according to the warning when a mediafield node is bing saved ("getid3 library not found!").
Greetings, -asb

Bump,
Having the same trouble with the 5.x-1.1 version
Also seems to be a related issue here?

The issue with mediafield not finding getid3 at a given path is an issue with mediafield, not with this module. Mediafield has a static requirement for the path and does not depend on or utilize this module. I'd submit that to the mediafield people.
Testing patch.
#7
I applied the patch and set my custom path to
misc/lib/getid3/(which is the location required by mediafield). This resolved the issue for me. I'd recommend those trying to use both mediafield and modules that depend on this one try that and re-test the patch.To use both mediafield and modules that depend on this one:
drupalroot/misc/lib/getid3/(there will bemisc/lib/getid3/getid3inside this directory among other things; don't let that confuse you).admin/settings/getid3, set the path tomisc/lib/getid3/and save.#8
Whoops, sorry for changing your status; didn't realize you were the maintainer.
I do think the patch is OK, though. :P The only concern might be that the constant
GETID3_VERSIONwasn't interpreted properly for asb. It does work alright for me; I get Version 1.7.7 found.#9
Thanks for the patch. It works for me against version 5. I also get the correct version reported (Version 1.7.7).
#10
I'm adding a revised patch. The original patch doesn't fix the Drupal status report file path check.
#11
patch doesn't apply to DRUPAL-5
#12
Is there a patch for DRUPAL-5 ? I need this one :(
#13
sorry, nevermind
#14
After the issues with Mediafield are subtracted. I don't think this can be reliably solved without corresponding documentation about where to put the getid3 project files. I have documented one way to do this at #297258: Documentation is needed following the convention from the Audio module.
This does not correspond to the patch from jmcclelland in response #10.
No patch is needed with getid3 1.7.7 and getid3 6.x-1.x-dev and the procedure in node 297258 comment #7.
#15
The problem for me is that there is no sub folder named 'lib' in 'misc' for some reason.
#16
@ jamyers2k,
You need to create the lib folder inside misc & put getid3 library inside it. It is not a location that exists in Drupal by default.
#17
Got it working. Many thanks.

I ran into this today... maybe this will help (my install instructions )drupal.org/node/371920#comment-1752374
The problem I had was when installing the module and the accompanying library - if one is not careful - the module will not find the library. It (by default is looking for /getid3/getid3/getid3)
Which bugged me so I tried to clean it up and get rid of at least one sub-directory by moving the files up one dir. - But, it would not find the library... it has to be "/getid3/getid3/getid3"
Hope this helps...

I just installed this in 6.x, using getid3-1.7.9 for the first time. The problem that older versions of getid3 (namely 1.7.7) had a directory structure in the zip file, but 1.7.9 ships everything flat. The extra /getid3 subdirectory was necessary with the older version of the getid3 library, but now it is not.

working on this and some other fixes.

Very nice! Pushing to critical so it's more prominent on the issue radar.
