             Summary: FFMpeg installed but not parsing video files
                 Key: TIKA-1510
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1510
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: parser
         Environment: FFMPEG, Mac OS X 10.9 with HomeBrew
            Reporter: Chris A. Mattmann
             Fix For: 1.7


I have FFMPEG installed with homebrew:

{noformat}
# brew install ffmpeg
{noformat}

I've got some AVI files and have tried to parse them with Tika:

{noformat}
[chipotle:~/Desktop/drone-vids] mattmann% tika -m SPOT11_000001\ 17.AVI
Content-Length: 334917340
Content-Type: video/x-msvideo
X-Parsed-By: org.apache.tika.parser.EmptyParser
resourceName: SPOT11_000001 17.AVI
{noformat}

I took a look at the ExternalParser, which is configured for using ffmpeg if it's installed. It seems it only works on:

{code:xml}
   <mime-types>
       <mime-type>video/avi</mime-type>
       <mime-type>video/mpeg</mime-type>
     </mime-types>
{code}

I'll add video/x-msvideo and see if that fixes it. I also stumbled upon the work by [~rgauss] at Github - Ray I noticed there is no parser in that work:

https://github.com/AlfrescoLabs/tika-ffmpeg

But there seems to be metadata extraction code, etc. Ray should I do something with this?
