Troubleshooting/Issues


FAQ

Q. Why didn't I get any technical metatadata?

...

A. Some images and audio files will cause problems during metadata extraction. These are not fatal errors, but appear to be formats the fits script can't understand. In these cases, you will get some error reporting in the technical metadata datastream that may help determine what happened.
