Nick Burch commented on TIKA-634:
---------------------------------
I've done some work on this. We can now use XML files to define what command to
run, what args to give it, and how to get the metadata.
There's an initial example file for using FFMpeg committed, we may want to
replace that with a different example longer term, especially as I hope to do a
dedicated FFMpeg ExternalParser that is able to dynamically build the supported
mime types based on what libraries are available to ffmpeg.
No unit tests yet, but my plan is to do it with a couple of perl scripts (with
the test being skipped if perl isn't there)
