Extracting GPS location from .MP4?

I'm looking to use the tool to extract the GPS coordinates from a video taken by a fairly new Android smartphone, the format is .mp4. I believe it was a Samsung S3 or S5.

When I used the command (Sorry, I don't remember what EXACT command I used, if anyone has any suggestions, please do advise) and output it to a text file, below is the output log, yet I don't see anything related to the location of the video.

This is of high importance, as it is a video I found just yesterday morning of my wife having cheated on me several months ago, and partly because of the quality of the video and audio, I am unable to determine anything about who it is or the location.

I would also post a link to a copy of the video (The quality is horrible as it's almost pitch black and the audio isn't great either) but I'm not sure that'd be allowed. (To attempt to find anything by someone whom is more well versed, obviously.)

That being said, does anyone have any recommendations on forums for A/V editors that may be able to help me enhance the video, as well?

Thank you greatly in advance,

DJ.

After having someone else look at the video, this was his response, "From what I can tell there is no location data stored in the exif data. It's possible it's stored in the video stream, but currently there exist no tools for extracting this data. Keep an eye on updates for EXIFTool, they may be able to help you out."

So, perhaps there is no hope, but if there's any hope, I'm sure I'll find help here.

If the output you gave is from e.g., exiftool -g FILE, I indeed think there is no location information stored in the file.
