VITA 1.9 - EXIF Data #33

Open SeanGuerrero opened 8 years ago

SeanGuerrero commented 8 years ago

We are encountering a lot of the same problems with uploading events and media from a different location.

The major change that I see is that now any pic/video taken with the VITA camera now appears in my photo album on my mobile device. This works great.

Below I will list problem areas that I am encountering when testing.

Tested Exif data by taking 3 pictures with my mobile camera and 2 pictures with the VITA camera that got saved to my phone. I later tried to create the event with both sets of pics from a different location.

The pictures that I uploaded into a test event from the VITA camera were posted in the wrong location. It posted it somewhere in the middle east. img_7993

I then tried to upload another test event with the pics I took from my mobile camera. It once again posted in the wrong location. And a different location than the VITA camera pics. It created an event in China. img_7999

Both sets of pics taken with the VITA and Mobile cameras were taken in the same exact place but were posted in 2 vastly different locations.

Additionally, I tried to upload pics to create another event with the same mobile pics, but this time including descriptions to each individual pic.

When I went to create an event with descriptions added to the pictures, it came up with an error. img_7823 It left only 2 out of the 3 original pics left in the que.

It DID create an event, but had NO pics in it. It created another pin in China directly next to the other pin I already created with the same pictures. img_8001

Additionally, for some reason uploading pics from either the mobile camera OR Vita camera resulted in the pics being turned sideways even though they appeared rightside up when I took them and when I viewed them from my mobile folder.

Pictures seen in grid view should not show grey borders. Should not stretch either. It can just show a square version of the photo. Doesn't have to show entire photo, similar to viewing pics in Instagram. img_7993

Can somebody please attach the actual image files (unmodified by photo editing software), also please explain which library is being used to read the EXIF data? thanks in advance.

Sean,

I've been thinking about this problem and spoken with a couple of friends who are iphone devs. Nobody has heard of an issue like this before.

I think the issue is somewhere in your phone. To isolate the issue we need to understand if non-vita photos have valid exif data. Could you try to use Dropbox on your iphone to upload a raw photo from your phone to the cloud.
Then we need to use a tool like the one at http://regex.info/exif.cgi to determine if the photo has exif data.
