rsmediainfo

Media metadata extraction for Rust — one API, every format MediaInfo understands.

        

---

• Idiomatic API — small, ergonomic surface over the MediaInfo C library
• Flexible inputs — parse from file paths, Read sources, in-memory buffers, or remote URLs
• Structured tracks — typed MediaInfo and Track models with insertion-ordered attributes
• Multiple output formats — text, JSON, XML, or %-delimited templates straight from the library
• Pre-parsed XML — build a MediaInfo from an existing XML payload with no shared library required
• Bundled library — optional download of the MediaInfo shared library at build time
• Reusable context — MediaInfoContext loads the shared library once and reuses it across many parse calls for batch workloads
• Configurable parsing — parse speed, completion level, cover art, custom library options, encoding error policy
• Typed errors — every failure mode of the underlying library surfaced through MediaInfoError
• Thread-safe — internal serialization keeps the library's global option store deterministic across threads

Installation

Feature Flags

Feature	Description
bundled	Download the MediaInfo shared library for the target platform during the build (enabled by default)

See the examples/ directory for parsing from paths, readers, URLs, raw output, pre-generated XML, and batch parsing through a reusable MediaInfoContext.
