    @saber said in how to get media file information.:

    Resolution,PixelAspectRatio

    Probably because this info is not available in the AVI header (maybe not part of the AVI specs?).

    You could probably use the metaData() method to query by key all the possible/relevant
    keys defined in the QMediaMetaData namespace, and check if it returns something valid?

    QVariant metaData(const QString &key) const;
    

    Also keep in mind that Qt's Multimedia framework is not as complete as some of the specialized libraries out there.

        It doesn't seem to work for images (as tested from the minimal example I posted above...)

        But, from searching on this forum (or on Google), the answer for pictures is given here:

          hi .
          i found a library called mediainfo .here is the github
          it has a example made by qt.
          but i don't understand how to build it or use it as a lib.
          can you help?

          and i tried this but not getting the duration.

          m_player->metaData(QMediaMetaData::Duration).toString();
          

          just giving me this "QVariant(Invalid)"

            @saber, that's a question you should ask to the mediainfo authors. At least you should explain exactly what is happening to you.

              As @SGaist suggested, I'm affraid that you will have to ask the authors of that library, as I haven't tried that one yet :-(.

              Since QMediaMetaData::Duration is a qint64 as per http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmediametadata.html, maybe try as follows:

              QString::number(m_player->metaData(QMediaMetaData::Duration))

                  Thanks, mediainfo builds fine in my linux system.
                  i want it as a lib(exclude all the gui and extra pieces) so it will be easer to include it in my project.
                  i wanted to make a function that will take the file path >> send it to that lib >>lib will give the all the mediainfo.
                  but i have no idea or programming skills to do that .so if you want the same ,please modify the mideainfo to a library.
                  thanks

                    MediaInfoLib IS the lib. I thought this would have been clear enough...
                    MediaInfo is just an application using it. Study that example to learn how to use it.

                      oh!ok.
                      can you show me the lib folder?
                      and how to include it in .pro .
                      an example will be great!!

                        As I wrote. Study the example. You said MediaInfo builds correctly on your system, so you have access to all the info you need, since it builds perfectly in Qt Creator. Don't expect everything to be done for you...
                        Good luck!

                          after long works i made an app with mediainfo as backend.
                          here is the app CoreInfo.
                          thanks.
