Video metadata #264

Closed mzur closed 2 years ago

mzur commented 4 years ago

Users requested the addition of video metadata fields (e.g. the equivalent to taken_at, lat and lng of images). I see three directions in which we could move forward here:

  1. Add the same metadata fields to videos than are present for images. Most of these should be arrays which e.g. associate a timestamp in taken_at to a latitude and longitude.

  2. Allow arbitrary metadata. Users can add any information to videos which is stored in the attrs column. For consistency, this should be allowed for images and volumes as well.

  3. Do nothing. Users can customize the BIIGLE code to their needs.

We agreed to implement 1.

This must be compatible with video volumes and should get a new manual article.
