Sample code not working #15

Closed gurpal2000 closed 2 years ago

Hi,

node: 4.5.0 npm: 2.15.9 exiftool (ubuntu): 9.46

The code where the file is read first and metadata extracted works, but not the one with the filename directly specified. Am i missing something here?

exif.metadata(data) - ok exif.metadata(filename) - not ok

[ exiftoolVersionNumber: 9.46, error: 'Unknown file type' ]

thanks

Just ran into the same issue.

According to the commit log, the feature that support for filepath was started from 0.0.4: https://github.com/nathanpeck/exiftool/commit/601d2cb42e857bf5416abfe0610ce8cf8e30be59 But the package version on npm still remains in 0.0.3, thats why it will ran into problem with filepath parameter. So the solution maybe simply update the package version on npm.
