COM Media Info Library
COM Media Info Library is a COM class wrapper for MediaInfo.dll, for use in Win32 and Win64 (Windows 10/11) software.
Features:
- Get a summary of a media file (audio/video/picture etc.)
- Get a specific attribute of a media file
- COM class is usable by developer environments/platforms supporting COM classes like VBScript
- Delphi header file and VBScript tutorials included
Requirements
Developer environment/platform supporting COM classes.
Installation
Edit the "Register COM Media Info Library (edit and run as admin).bat" file with the right folders. Right mouse button click on the file and click "Run as administrator".
Or run an elevated command prompt, change dir into the folder where 'COMMediaInfo.dll' is located, run the following: "regsvr32 COMMediaInfo.dll". This should register the COM class. Do this for the desired Win32 and/or Win64 version.
MediaInfo.dll is needed on the search path, eg. beside your .exe (or VBScript file), or copy the needed DLLs to \Windows\System32\ (Win64 DLLs on a 64 bit OS) and/or \Windows\SysWOW64\ (Win32 DLLs on a 64 bit OS) folder. If the OS is 32 bit then copy the needed DLLs to \Windows\System32\ (from the Win32 folder).
To use the library in VBScript, on a 64 bit OS, the VBScript process is 64 bit so the needed DLLs have to be from the Win64 folder, beside the .VBS file or in the System32 folder as written above.
Usage
After registering the DLL it can be accessed like:
createobject("COMMediaInfo.MediaInformation")
VBScript usage example, get a detailed report:
option explicit
dim myobject
set myobject = createobject("COMMediaInfo.MediaInformation")
myobject.OpenFile "Test3.mp3"
dim reportstr
myobject.GetReport 0, reportstr
wscript.Echo reportstr
set myobject = nothing
To get a specific attribute:
option explicit
dim myobject
set myobject = createobject("COMMediaInfo.MediaInformation")
myobject.OpenFile "Test3.mp3"
dim valuestr
myobject.GetAttribute "Duration", 0, 0, valuestr
wscript.Echo valuestr
set myobject = nothing
Please see all the avialable attributes in the 'MediaInfo_DLL_24.06_Windows_i386_WithoutInstaller.7z' package folder '\Developers\List_Of_Parameters\'.
