Compiles Mediainfo for use in AWS Lambda

Mediainfo for AWS Lambda

This project compiles Mediainfo under Amazon Linux 2 for use in distributing it to AWS Lambda functions.

Every example I could find on the web used ancient versions of Mediainfo. This compiles the latest version, which has quite a different output format.

Requirements

• docker

Compiling Mediainfo

This compiles Mediainfo with libcurl and other libraries so that it can be useful with signed URLs.

./compile.sh

This produces 14 files in you current working directory:

• mediainfo
• libcrypt.so.1
• libcurl.so.4
• libidn2.so.0
• liblber-2.4.so.2
• libldap-2.4.so.2
• libnghttp2.so.14
• libnss3.so
• libnssutil3.so
• libsasl2.so.3
• libsmime3.so
• libssh2.so.1
• libssl3.so
• libunistring.so.0

Usage

If you place the library files in dist/ (*.so.*) in the base directory of the Lambda, they will be found by the LD_LIBRARY_PATH of the execution environment. After that, you can run mediainfo from just about anywhere.
