Detailed Description

The MediaFileInfo class allows to read and write tag information providing a container/tag format independent interface.

It also provides some technical information such as contained streams.

For examples see "cli/mainfeatures.cpp" of the tageditor repository.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ MediaFileInfo() [1/3]

TagParser::MediaFileInfo::MediaFileInfo ( )

Constructs a new MediaFileInfo.

Definition at line 83 of file mediafileinfo.cpp.

◆ MediaFileInfo() [2/3]

TagParser::MediaFileInfo::MediaFileInfo ( const std::string &  path)

Constructs a new MediaFileInfo for the specified file.

Parameters
pathSpecifies the absolute or relative path of the file.

Definition at line 109 of file mediafileinfo.cpp.

◆ MediaFileInfo() [3/3]

TagParser::MediaFileInfo::MediaFileInfo ( const MediaFileInfo )
delete

◆ ~MediaFileInfo()

Definition at line 134 of file mediafileinfo.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ applyChanges()

void TagParser::MediaFileInfo::applyChanges ( Diagnostics diag,
AbortableProgressFeedback progress 
)

Applies assigned/changed tag information to the current file.

This method applies previously assigned tag information to the current file.

Depending on the changes to be applied the file will be rewritten.

When the file needs to be rewritten it will be renamed. A new file with the old name will be created to replace the old file.

Exceptions
Throwsstd::ios_base::failure when an IO error occurs.
ThrowsTagParser::Failure or a derived exception when a making error occurs.
Remarks
Tags and tracks need to be parsed without errors before this method can be called. All previous parsing results are cleared (using clearParsingResults()). Hence the file must be reparsed. All related objects (tags, tracks, ...) might get invalidated. This includes notifications of these objects as well.

This allows a rescan of the file using parsing methods like parseContainerFormat(). Otherwise, these methods do nothing if the information to be parsed has already been gathered.

Remarks
Any pointers previously returned by tags(), tracks(), ... object should be considered invalidated.

Definition at line 1274 of file mediafileinfo.cpp.

◆ container()

AbstractContainer * TagParser::MediaFileInfo::container ( ) const
inline

Ensures appropriate tags are created according the given settings.

Returns
Returns whether appropriate tags could be created for the file.
Remarks
  • Tags must have been parsed before invoking this method (otherwise it will just return false).
  • The ID3 related arguments are only practiced when the file format is MP3 or when the file format is unknown and treatUnknownFilesAsMp3Files is true.
  • Tags might be removed as well. For example the existing ID3v1 tag of an MP3 file will be removed if id3v1Usage is set to TagUsage::Never.
  • The method might do nothing if present tag(s) already match the given specifications.
  • This is only a convenience method. The task could be done by manually using the methods createId3v1Tag(), createId3v2Tag(), removeId3v1Tag() ... as well.
  • Some tag information might be discarded. For example when an ID3v2 tag needs to be removed (TagSettings::id3v2usage is set to TagUsage::Never) and an ID3v1 tag will be created instead not all fields can be transfered.

Definition at line 535 of file mediafileinfo.cpp.

This method does nothing the tags of the current file haven't been parsed using the parseTags() method.

If the file has already an ID3v2 tag no new tag will be created.

To apply the created tag and other changings call the applyChanges() method.

Returns
Returns the first ID3v2 tag of the current file.
Remarks

See also
applyChanges()

Definition at line 1034 of file mediafileinfo.cpp.

◆ createVorbisComment()

◆ invalidated()

void TagParser::MediaFileInfo::invalidated ( )
overrideprotectedvirtual

Reimplemented from BasicFileInfo::invalidated().

Reimplemented from TagParser::BasicFileInfo.

Definition at line 1477 of file mediafileinfo.cpp.

◆ isForcingFullParse()

bool TagParser::MediaFileInfo::isForcingFullParse ( ) const
inline

Returns an indication whether forcing a full parse is enabled.

If enabled the parser will analyse the file structure as deep as possible. This might cause long parsing times for big files.

See also
setForceFullParse()

Definition at line 443 of file mediafileinfo.h.

◆ isForcingRewrite()

bool TagParser::MediaFileInfo::isForcingRewrite ( ) const
inline

Returns whether forcing rewriting (when applying changes) is enabled.

Definition at line 461 of file mediafileinfo.h.

◆ matroskaTags()

const vector< unique_ptr< MatroskaTag > > & TagParser::MediaFileInfo::matroskaTags ( ) const

Returns pointers to the assigned Matroska tags.

Remarks
The MediaFileInfo keeps the ownership over the returned pointers. The returned Matroska tags will be destroyed when the MediaFileInfo is invalidated.

Definition at line 1204 of file mediafileinfo.cpp.

◆ maxPadding()

size_t TagParser::MediaFileInfo::maxPadding ( ) const
inline

Returns the maximum padding to be written before the data blocks when applying changes.

Maximum padding in front of the file allows adding additional fields afterwards whithout needing to rewrite the entire file or to put tag information at the end of the file.

The default value is 0 which will force the library to rewrite the entire file almost always when applying changes. Increate the value using setMaxPadding() to prevent this.

See also
minPadding()
tagPosition()
setMaxPadding()

Definition at line 514 of file mediafileinfo.h.

◆ mergeId3v2Tags()

void TagParser::MediaFileInfo::mergeId3v2Tags ( )

Merges the assigned ID3v2 tags into a single ID3v2 tag.

Some files I've got contain multiple successive ID3v2 tags. If the tags of such an file is parsed by this class, these tags will be kept seperate. This method merges all assigned ID3v2 tags. All fields from the additional ID3v2 tags will be inserted to the first tag. All assigned ID3v2 tag instances except thefirst will be destroyed.

A possibly assigned ID3v1 tag remains unaffected.

This method does nothing the tags of the current file haven't been parsed using the parseTags() method.

See also
id3v2Tags()

Definition at line 1308 of file mediafileinfo.cpp.

◆ mimeType()

Sets the position (in the output file) where the index is written when applying changes.

Remarks
Same rules as for tagPosition() apply. If conflicting with tagPosition(), tagPosition() has priority.

◆ setMaxPadding()

void TagParser::MediaFileInfo::setMaxPadding ( size_t  maxPadding)
inline

Sets the maximum padding to be written before the data blocks when applying changes.

◆ setSaveFilePath()

void TagParser::MediaFileInfo::setSaveFilePath ( const std::string &  saveFilePath)
inline

Sets the "save file path".

If saveFilePath is not empty, this path will be used to save the output file when applying changes using applyChanges(). Thus the current file is not modified by applyChanges() in this case and the variable isForcingRewrite() does not affect the behaviour of applyChanges(). If the changes have been applied without fatal errors the "save file path" is cleared and used as the new regular path().

By default, this path is empty.

Remarks
saveFilePath mustn't be the current path().

Definition at line 387 of file mediafileinfo.h.

◆ setTagPosition()

void TagParser::MediaFileInfo::setTagPosition ( ElementPosition  tagPosition)
inline

Sets the position (in the output file) where the tag information is written when applying changes.

Remarks
  • If putting the tags at another position would prevent rewriting the entire file the specified position might not be used if forceTagPosition() is false.
  • However if the specified position is not supported by the container/tag format or by the implementation for the format it is ignored (even if forceTagPosition() is true).
  • Default value is ElementPosition::BeforeData
