Title: Images created with an iPhone produce invalid XML output
Post by: Mac2 on November 25, 2014, 06:04:33 AM

When I extract metadata from images produces with the iPhone 6, the -X output produced by ExifTool is invalid and cannot be parsed with the Microsoft XML parser. For lines like

<XMP-mwg-rs:XMP-apple-fi:AngleInfoRoll>0</XMP-mwg-rs:XMP-apple-fi:AngleInfoRoll>

MSXML returns the error message:

Multiple colons are not allowed in a name.

and refuses to load the XML document. I can provide sample files if required.

Tested with ExifTool 9.76 on Windows.

Could you email me the sample XMP that produces this output? (philharvey66 at gmail.com)

Thanks.

Hi, Phil

Thanks for looking into this.
I have sent you a sample image which exhibits this behavior and the ARGS file I use to produce the XML.

Thanks. I can reproduce this problem and it will be fixed in ExifTool 9.77.
