-------------------------------------

             Summary: Expose the raw MP4 audio/video codec fourCC
                 Key: TIKA-4803
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-4803
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Dominik Schmidt


MP4Parser exposes the video codec only as the human-readable compressor name 
(xmpDM:videoCompressor, from Mp4VideoDirectory.TAG_COMPRESSOR_NAME, which is 
often descriptive or empty) and does not expose the audio codec fourCC at all. 
The actual 4-character sample-entry format code (avc1, hvc1, mp4a, ...) is more 
precise and stable for consumers.

I've sent a PR to metadata-extractor to retain that raw code 
(https://github.com/drewnoakes/metadata-extractor/pull/743) via the new 
TAG_COMPRESSION_TYPE_RAW / TAG_AUDIO_FORMAT_RAW tags).
We should map it to Tika metadata for both the video and audio tracks.

Blocked by: a metadata-extractor release containing that fix, plus the 
corresponding version bump in Tika.
