Wrapper around the `mediainfo' program for obtaining information about media files

Mediainfo

Wrapper around the mediainfo command for obtaining information about media files. Exposed as API to supply info of urls

Overview

This module provides an interface to the mediainfo command. It returns the (parsed) output of the command with all the keys lower-cased. There's not a lot to say here. I have extended it to be a web service providing info of url's

Usage

Once deployed you can pass url to the /info endpoint like this:

http://localhost:8080/info?url=http://myfile.mp4

response would be a json with info of that mp4

Example

http://localhost:8080/info?url=http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4

Requirements

The mediainfo command has to be available somewhere in the PATH of the user node is running as.
