A Java library for parsing media information using the MediaInfo library.
This library provides a simple interface to extract metadata from media files.

Installing

Gradle

implementation group: 'io.github.oppahansi', name: 'MediaInfo4J', version: '0.2.1'

Maven

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.oppahansi</groupId>
    <artifactId>MediaInfo4J</artifactId>
    <version>0.2.1</version>
</dependency>

Usage

From a file path

MediaInfoParser parser = new MediaInfoParser()
MediaInfo mediaInfo = parser.parseFile(filePath);

// Print all sections and their fields
mediaInfo.print();

or

MediaInfo mediaInfo = MediaInfo.fromFile(filePath);

// Print all sections and their fields
mediaInfo.print();

From a string

MediaInfoParser parser = new MediaInfoParser()
MediaInfo mediaInfo = parser.parseData(dataString);

// Print all sections and their fields
mediaInfo.print();

or

MediaInfo mediaInfo = MediaInfo.fromData(dataString);

// Print all sections and their fields
mediaInfo.print();

Features

• Parsing of media information from files using the MediaInfo native library.
• Extraction of metadata such as format, duration, codec, chapters, and more from media files.
• Simple Java API to access sections and fields of parsed media info.
• Support for reading media info from both file paths and raw data strings.
• Better parsing, than in vlcj-info:
• • Support for Chapter fields and values
• More methods for checking the validity for files:
• • CRC32
• • Adler32
• • MD5
• • SHA1
• • SHA256
• • SHA512
• New Menu fields for better chapter parsing:
• • ChapterCount (Total number of chapters)
• • ChapterName x (ChapterName 1 -> : en:Time for Ignition...)
• • ChapterTimestamp x (ChapterTimestamp 1 -> 00:00:00.000...)
