More information about the programming interface

Complete list of interfaces

There is an exhaustive list of MediaInfo interfaces.

Capacities of the library

MediaInfo::Option("Info_Version")
MediaInfo::Option("Info_Parameters")
MediaInfo::Option("Info_Parameters_CSV")
MediaInfo::Option("Info_Capacities")
MediaInfo::Option("Info_Codecs")

Open files

MediaInfo::Open("**FILENAME**")
MediaInfoList::Open("**FILENAMES**")

Open buffers

MediaInfo::Open("**Begin**", "**Begin_Size**", "**End**", "**End_Size**")
MediaInfoList::Open("**Begin**", "**Begin_Size**", "**End**", "**End_Size**")

Formated text

Get output

MediaInfo::Inform(Option)

Customization

MediaInfo::Option("Inform", "**YOUR_TEXT**")
MediaInfo::Option("Inform_Get")
MediaInfo::Option("Complete")
MediaInfo::Option("Complete_Get")

Get a specific item

MediaInfo::Get("**StreamKind**, **StreamNumber**, **Parameter**, **InfoKind**")
MediaInfo::Count_Get("**StreamKind**, **StreamNumber**")

Note : If **StreamNumber** is -1, return the count of stream of that kind (equivalent but quicker than MediaInfo::Get("**StreamKind**, 0, "StreamCount", Info_Text))

Note : Only for "C" (DLL) interface:
MediaInfo_GetI is a replacement for MediaInfo_Get for **Parameter** with Integer, because C doesn't support operator overloading
