== 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!

== BOOKS

MMS2R, Making email useful http://peepcode.com/products/mms2r-pdf

== SYNOPSIS

require 'rubygems' require 'mms2r'

required for the example

require 'tmail' require 'fileutils'

mail = TMail::Mail.parse(IO.readlines("sample-MMS.file").join) mms = MMS2R::Media.new(mail)

puts "MMS has default carrier subject" if mms.subject.empty?

access the sender's phone number

puts "MMS was from phone #{mms.number}"

most MMS are either image or video, default_media will return the largest

(non-advertising) video or image found

file = mms.default_media puts "MMS had a media: #{file.inspect}" unless file.nil?

finds the largest (non-advertising) text found

file = mms.default_text puts "MMS had some text: #{file.inspect}" unless file.nil?

mms.media is a hash that is indexed by mime-type.

The mime-type key returns an array of filepaths

to media that were extract from the MMS and

are of that type

mms.media['image/jpeg'].each {|f| puts "#{f}"} mms.media['text/plain'].each {|f| puts "#{f}"}

print the text (assumes MMS had text)

text = IO.readlines(mms.media['text/plain'].first).join puts text

save the image (assumes MMS had a jpeg)

FileUtils.cp mms.media['image/jpeg'].first, '/some/where/useful', :verbose => true

puts "does the MMS have quicktime video? #{!mms.media['video/quicktime'].nil?}"

Block support, process and receive all media types of video.

mms.process do |media_type, files| # assumes a Clip model that is an AttachmentFu Clip.create(:uploaded_data => files.first, :title => "From phone") if media_type =~ /video/ end

Another AttachmentFu example, Picture model is an AttachmentFu

picture = Picture.new picture.title = mms.subject picture.uploaded_data = mms.default_media picture.save!

#remove all the media that was put to temporary disk mms.purge
