mms2r 2.0.0 Released

Posted by Mike 01/23/2008 at 02:15PM

mms2r version 2.0.0 has been released!

Upcoming!

DESCRIPTION:

MMS2R is a library that decodes the parts of an MMS message to disk while
stripping out advertising injected by the mobile carriers. MMS messages are
multipart email and the carriers often inject branding into these messages. Use
MMS2R if you want to get at the real user generated content from a MMS without
having to deal with the cruft from the carriers.

If MMS2R is not aware of a particular carrier no extra processing is done to the
MMS other than decoding and consolidating its media.

Contact the author to add additional carriers to be processed by the library.
Suggestions and patches appreciated and welcomed!

    First, thank you for this great project. I’ve used version 1.1.12 with great success. However, when I upgraded to 2.0.0 I’m getting segfaults with no logging to the logger passed in. Using the example in the rdoc:

    require ‘rubygems’ require ’mms2r require ‘tmail’ require ‘fileutils’ mail = TMail::Mail.parse(IO.readlines(“sample-MMS.file”).join) mms = MMS2R::Media.new(mail)

    The script simply segfaults at that point. I’m on OS X (if that helps.) The same sample file works in 1.1.12 (using create instead of new). Have you seen this before? Am I missing a dependency?

    Any help or a pointer in the right direction would be appreciated.

    I figured it out. Somewhere in my environment was

    require ‘mms2r/media’

    adding this will cause a segfault. Thanks again for the great project. Hope this post helps anyone else banging their head against the wall.
