NAME

Media::Info - Common interface for Media::Info::*

VERSION

version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

use Media::Info qw(get_media_info);
my $res = get_media_info(media => '/path/to/celine.mp4');

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a common interface for Media::Info::* modules, which you can use to get information about a media file (like video, music, etc) using specific backends. Currently the only backend available is Media::Info::Mplayer, so this module uses that.

SEE ALSO

Video::Info - This module is first written because I couldn't install Video::Info. That module doesn't seem maintained (last release is in 2003 at the time of this writing), plus I want a per-backend namespace organization instead of per-format one, and a simple functional interface instead of OO interface.
