I can get the Movie name from my avi files with the command line
mediainfo --Inform="General;%Movie%" file.avi
In python I have access to the mediainfo structure
mediainfo = MediaInfo.parse(filename)
But nowhere can I find out how the command line matches to the data structure. The sparse documentation and all examples talk about track structures, when my item is in General
NO IDEA WHY THIS SITE ONLY ALLOWS VERY SHORT COMMENTS, BELOW IS A COMMENT
I am confused. The code I'm looking at is nemo-media-columns.py (https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo-extensions/blob/master/nemo-media-columns/nemo-media-columns.py) has
from pymediainfo import MediaInfo ... mediainfo = MediaInfo.parse(filename)
duration = 0
for trackobj in mediainfo.tracks:
track = trackobj.to_data()
if track["track_type"] == "Video":
try:
info.pixeldimensions = "%dx%d" % (track["width"], track["height"])
except:
pass
Which is entirely different syntax from your suggestion, and the example talks about DLLs which don't exist in my Linux world. I'm baffled with it all, and as the code is buried within the application diagnostics are hard.
I ended up with:
#!/usr/bin/python3
from pymediainfo import MediaInfo
mediainfo = MediaInfo.parse('1.avi')
for trackobj in mediainfo.tracks:
track = trackobj.to_data()
if track["track_type"] == "General":
try:
title = (track['title'])
except:
title = 'Unknown'
print(title)
