media-info

# media-info Install and run MediaInfo CLI in non-root environments. ## Quick start 1. Install MediaInfo locally: - `bash scripts/install_mediainfo_local.sh` 2. Verify installation: - `bash scripts/test_mediainfo.sh` 3. Inspect files: - `./vendor/mediainfo/MediaInfo/Project/GNU/CLI/mediainfo <file>` - `./vendor/mediainfo/MediaInfo/Project/GNU/CLI/mediainfo --Output=JSON <file>` ## Workflow ### Install Run `scripts/install_mediainfo_local.sh`. - Download MediaInfo source archive - Build CLI locally - Place binary at `vendor/mediainfo/MediaInfo/Project/GNU/CLI/mediainfo` ### Extract metadata Use plain output for human reading and JSON output for automation. ### Classify orientation Use Width/Height (and Rotation when present): - landscape: effective width >= effective height - portrait: effective width < effective height When Rotation is 90/270, swap width and height before classification. ## Notes - Do not require sudo. - Prefer MediaInfo for files where ffprobe fails but container data still exists.
