Media::Info - Return information on media file/URL

VERSION

This document describes version 0.08 of Media::Info (from Perl distribution Media-Info), released on 2015-09-03.

SYNOPSIS

 use Media::Info qw(get_media_info);
 my $res = get_media_info(media => '/path/to/celine.mp4');

Sample result:

 [
   200,
   "OK",
   {
     audio_bitrate => 128000,
     audio_format  => 85,
     audio_rate    => 44100,
     duration      => 2081.25,
     num_channels  => 2,
     num_chapters  => 0,
   },
   {
     "func.raw_output" => "ID_AUDIO_ID=0\n...",
   },
 ]

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a common interface for Media::Info::* modules, which you can use to get information about a media file (like video, music, etc) using specific backends. Currently the only backend available is Media::Info::Mplayer, so this module uses that.

FUNCTIONS

get_media_info(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

Return information on media file/URL.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

• media* => str

  Media file/URL.

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.

Return value: (any)

SEE ALSO

Video::Info - This module is first written because I couldn't install Video::Info. That module doesn't seem maintained (last release is in 2003 at the time of this writing), plus I want a per-backend namespace organization instead of per-format one, and a simple functional interface instead of OO interface.
