Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

MediaInfo

✓ from pymediainfo import MediaInfo

✗ from pymediainfo import MediaInfoParser

MediaInfoParser was renamed to MediaInfo in a previous version.

Parse a media file and print general track information as dict.

from pymediainfo import MediaInfo media_info = MediaInfo.parse('video.mp4') print(media_info.general_tracks[0].to_data())

Debug

Known issues

breakingThe mediainfo CLI tool must be installed separately on the system. Python-only install may fail at runtime with "FileNotFoundError".

fix

Install mediainfo using system package manager (e.g., apt install mediainfo, brew install mediainfo, or download from https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo).

affects: all

deprecatedThe old `MediaInfo.parse` returned a `MediaInfo` object; now it returns a `MediaInfoList` if multiple files are parsed. Access single file results with indexing.

fix

Use `MediaInfo.parse('file.mp4')[0]` or iterate over the result if multiple files.

affects: >=6.0

gotchaEmpty fields in mediainfo output are returned as None, not empty string. Comparisons may fail if expecting string.

fix

Use `field or ''` or check for None explicitly.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'mediainfo'

mediainfo CLI not installed on system PATH.

fix

Install mediainfo via system package manager or download from MediaInfo website.

AttributeError: module 'pymediainfo' has no attribute 'MediaInfoParser'

Using deprecated class name.

fix

Use `from pymediainfo import MediaInfo` and `MediaInfo.parse(...)`.

TypeError: 'MediaInfoList' object is not subscriptable

Old code accessing result as single object, but new version returns list for single file (can be subscripted). This error may appear if the returned type is not a list but a single object; actually in this case it's subscriptable, but if an older script treats it as a single object, it will fail.

fix

Use `result = MediaInfo.parse('file.mp4')` then `result.general_tracks[0]` if result is not a list; check type. For consistency, use `track = result[0] if isinstance(result, list) else result`.
