# Mediainfo

Mediainfo is a class wrapping [the mediainfo CLI](http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net).

## Installation
  
    $ gem install mediainfo -s http://gemcutter.org
  
## Usage
  
    info = Mediainfo.new "/path/to/file"
  
That will issue the system call to `mediainfo` and parse the output. 
You can specify an alternate path if necessary:
  
    Mediainfo.path = "/opt/local/bin/mediainfo"
  
Once you've got an instance setup, you can call numerous methods to get 
a variety of information about a file. Some attributes may be present 
for some files where others are not, but any supported attribute 
should at least return `nil`.

For a list of all possible attributes supported:
  
    Mediainfo.supported_attributes
  
## Requirements

This requires at least the following version of the Mediainfo CLI:
  
    MediaInfo Command line,
    MediaInfoLib - v0.7.25
  
Previous versions of this gem(<= 0.5.1) worked against v0.7.11, which did not 
generate XML output, and is no longer supported.
