Always the same error Fatal error: write EPIPE

Do you have exiftool installed via homebrew and is it accessible on the command line?

Try this in your terminal to ensure that the exiftool binary is installed and accessible.

which exiftool

Thanks for the fast response. Yes I should have read that more carefully, however I still haven't been able to get this working for my use case. 1 file works fine. I have 857 files and I want to get the dimensions on each of them. It seems like every kind of asynchronous call I make fails either via promises or callbacks. Do you have any insight on this?

Bump! I am also getting this same error.

throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

It works on images but error for some videos (not all). I tried using exiftool in terminal and it worked but not in node. Hopefully someone can help.

fs.readFile(Path.resolve(__dirname, file), (err, data) => {
  if (err) {
    throw err;
  } else {
    exif.metadata(data, (err, extractedMetadata) => {
      if (err) {
        console.log(err);
      }

      console.log(extractedMetadata);
    })
  }
})
