ExifTool Forum

Hi,

I'm a newbie working on extracting GPS data from a dashcam (.MOV) file. I learnt the basic export ( exiftool.exe -ext mov -ee FILE ), and managed to get all the GPS tags in FILE this way. But if I specify the -X or -j, the XML or JSON exports give only a single GPS entry in FILE. Is there another option that I have missed to get all GPS entries in XML or JSON formats?

Thanks,
IDS.

From the docs on the -j (-json) option (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#j-JSONFILE--json)
   (-g4 may be used to ensure that all tags have unique JSON names.)

The -X (-xmlFormat) (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#X--xmlFormat) is different.  In that case the relevant info is
   Another restriction of -s is that only one tag with a given group and name may appear in the output.

So, add -g4 to the json command and remove -s from the xml command.

Hi,

-g4 with -j did the trick. The XML one didn't quite work, but I'm OK with the JSON output for the moment.

Thanks,
IDS.

-X should have worked:
