When I load metadata from image from camera, IMG_20170720_184159.jpg, I got video/ffmpeg. So strange...

ExifTool shows MIME Type : image/jpeg
...but that from exif data, may be that is different location.

Hi,

Did you use action Init Variable Image Metadata or Init Variables Media Metadata? Could you please send me a sample image to info@automagic4android.com so I can try to reproduce the problem? The image does not have to contain anything special, just a black picture is perfectly fine.

Thanks & Regards,
Martin

Init Variables Media Metadata.
But will be nice, if we can grab metadata from many types of content (may be so hard work, just an idea).

Thanks for the sample image and the description!

Action Init Variable Media Metadata uses a built-in feature of Android to get the metadata. This feature does not even support reading metadata of images on most ROMs, it usually just supports audio files and video files but your ROM seems to handle images too but in a strange way.
For reading metadata of images I recommend to use action Init Variables Image Metadata which provides most EXIF information available in an image.

Got it, Martin! Thanks=)

This just remind me that I ever wanna use tasker to check for Image metadata (can't find any plugin for it). Now I realize I can do it easily in automagic. Just simply share it to automagic intent receiver, parse the file path and feed it to Init Variables Image Metadata.
