Re: [EP-tech] get_mime_type?

Thanks, Thomas, $doc->get_value( "mime_type") works! 
Also, thanks, John, I'm familiar with the redo_mime_type command; I think I understand this one:
The one that is more mysterious is redo_thumbnails.
For video documents, if you have FFMPEG and the H264 codec on the server, this transcodes to video to MP4 and OGG.
What does EPrints do with these transcoded files?  Do they get served to the public?  
Where does EPrints put them?  Is there an API call to get these derivative files for the document?

Best wishes,
Tomasz

Might be worth mentioning that there is a function in bin/epadmin to redo mime types.

If you upgraded from 3.3.1 to 3.3.2, a suggestion to run this was made, but you can run it if it looks like your mime types are not quite right (and as file type detection improves).

>From the perldoc:
epadmin redo_mime_type repository_id dataset [ objectid, ... ]
    Re-run the file format identification. Dataset may be one of 'document' or 'file'. If 'document' only re-does the identification of the main files in documents.


Cheers,
John

Hi Tomasz,

> How would I get the mime_type of a document in EPrints?

refering to ~/Eprints/perl_lib/EPrints/DataObj/Document.pm imho $doc->get_value( "mime_type" ); does the job!?
