Cross platform support for editing EXIF in videos and audio files

Currently we use avmetareadwrite to update EXIF in videos and audio files. I haven’t found EXIF libraries for python which do a good job writing EXIF in non photo files. The code is pretty ugly but it works (and the tests all pass).

Would love to find an open library to do this. avmetareadwrite could go away with the next OS X upgrade or the (undocumented) API may change. Plus, Linux users.

Thanks Jaisen. There’s a lot of stuff happening in my personal life right now so I don’t have time for side projects. But when things settle down, I’ll try to give this a try.

@Ramblurr https://github.com/Ramblurr @prdubois https://github.com/prdubois I finally got around to using PyExifTool (see gh-118 https://github.com/jmathai/elodie/pull/118). There’s a PR open that passes all of the tests (plus a few new ones). There’s a bit of corner case testing I’d like to do but if you’re interested in trying it out then it would be helpful.

@prdubois I’ve got a Synology NAS where all my photos end up (via Google Drive). I haven’t tried to get Elodie running on my Synology but I’d be interested in figuring that out as well.
