Getting all possible video file data using mediainfo in linux ( using C )

I need to extract all meta data along with play-length information from the video files in pure C .

I goggled and found MediaInfo Library but was not able to find any relevant c sample code .

Is there any other way to achieve this with / without MetaInfo ?

Or can somebody point me to a good sample code of MediaInfo in C

ffprobe which is part of ffmpeg can do a whole lot more.

ffprobe without switches will give some common information It also has lot of switches of which you can use one at a time [exclusively]

  • -show_format show format/container info
  • -show_streams show streams info
  • -show_packets show packets info
  • -show_frames show frames info
  • -show_data show packets data

Try it out.
