I need HTTPProvider which will get video metadata - video duration and width/height. It’ll be used with vod application, so there are mp4 files in app storage.

Please, could you provide me some tips, how to get this metadata in provider?

We don’t have an example that works with mp4 files at present. It is possible and an article with an example will be added, but I don’t have an exact time frame.

[This example](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-read-an-flv-file-using-the-flvutils-api) is easy to adapt to an HTTPProvider, but only works with .flv files
