### Installing pymediainfo via pip

Source: https://github.com/sbraz/pymediainfo/blob/master/README.md

This snippet demonstrates how to install the `pymediainfo` library using pip. The first command installs the library, potentially utilizing pre-built wheels that bundle the MediaInfo library. The second command forces installation without bundled binaries, requiring a system-wide MediaInfo library to be present.

```Shell
python -m pip install pymediainfo
```

```Shell
python -m pip install pymediainfo --no-binary pymediainfo
```

### Extracting Video and Audio Information with pymediainfo

Source: https://github.com/sbraz/pymediainfo/blob/master/README.md

This Python snippet illustrates how to parse a video file and iterate through its tracks to extract detailed information. It specifically demonstrates accessing video track attributes like bit rate, frame rate, and format, and using the `to_data()` method to get all attributes of an audio track as a dictionary. This example requires both `pymediainfo` and `pprint`.

```Python
from pprint import pprint
from pymediainfo import MediaInfo

media_info = MediaInfo.parse("my_video_file.mp4")
for track in media_info.tracks:
    if track.track_type == "Video":
        print(f"Bit rate: {track.bit_rate}, Frame rate: {track.frame_rate}, Format: {track.format}")
        print("Duration (raw value):", track.duration)
        print("Duration (other values:")
        pprint(track.other_duration)
    elif track.track_type == "Audio":
        print("Track data:")
        pprint(track.to_data())
```

### Extracting Image Information with pymediainfo

Source: https://github.com/sbraz/pymediainfo/blob/master/README.md

This Python snippet demonstrates how to parse an image file using `MediaInfo.parse()` and access its general and image-specific track attributes. It shows how to retrieve format, dimensions, and file size, and then print them in a formatted string. This functionality requires the `pymediainfo` library to be installed.

```Python
from pymediainfo import MediaInfo

media_info = MediaInfo.parse("/home/user/image.jpg")
# Tracks can be accessed using the 'tracks' attribute or through shorthands
# such as 'image_tracks', 'audio_tracks', 'video_tracks', etc.
general_track = media_info.general_tracks[0]
image_track = media_info.image_tracks[0]
print(
  f"{image_track.format} of {image_track.width}×{image_track.height} pixels"
  f" and {general_track.file_size} bytes."
)
```

### Generating Text Reports with PyMediaInfo (Python)

Source: https://github.com/sbraz/pymediainfo/blob/master/README.md

This snippet shows how to generate a plain text report of media information, similar to the command-line `mediainfo` tool, by using the `output="text"` argument with `MediaInfo.parse()`. It specifies `full=False` to produce less verbose output, mirroring a basic `mediainfo` call. The method returns a string instead of a `MediaInfo` object.

```Python
from pymediainfo import MediaInfo

# To mirror a simple call to "mediainfo" without the "--Full" or "-f" option, we
# set "full=False". Leaving it at the default of "full=True" would result in
# more verbose output.
print(MediaInfo.parse("my_video_file.mp4", output="text", full=False))
```

### Parsing Pre-generated MediaInfo XML with PyMediaInfo (Python)

Source: https://github.com/sbraz/pymediainfo/blob/master/README.md

This snippet illustrates how to construct a `MediaInfo` object directly from a raw XML string, which is useful when you have pre-generated `OLDXML` output from MediaInfo. It demonstrates accessing specific track information, such as the complete name of the file from the general track.

```Python
from pymediainfo import MediaInfo

raw_xml_string = """<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<Mediainfo version=\"24.11\">\n<File>\n<track type=\"General\">\n<Complete_name>binary_file</Complete_name>\n<File_size>1.00 Byte</File_size>\n</track>\n</File>\n</Mediainfo>"""
media_info = MediaInfo(raw_xml_string)
print(f"File name is: {media_info.general_tracks[0].complete_name}")
```

### Parsing Media File Information with PyMediaInfo (Python)

Source: https://github.com/sbraz/pymediainfo/blob/master/README.md

This snippet demonstrates how to parse a media file using `pymediainfo.MediaInfo.parse()`. It iterates through the tracks of the parsed media information, checking if a bit rate is available for each track and printing relevant details. It requires a media file (e.g., "my_video_file.mp4") to be present.

```Python
from pymediainfo import MediaInfo

media_info = MediaInfo.parse("my_video_file.mp4")
for track in media_info.tracks:
    if track.bit_rate is None:
        print(f"{track.track_type} tracks do not have a bit rate associated with them")
    else:
        print(f"Track {track.track_id} of type {track.track_type} has a bit rate of {track.bit_rate} b/s")
```
