The next time you start eMule, it employs the functions made available in the mediainfo DLL. eMule will then be able to detect more filetypes and codecs, and will be able to show additional information if available (like title, author, program used and such) in the in the file -> detail -> content tab.

If mediainfo is not available eMule will use it's own internal detection routines to detect codecs and tags. These internal routines are very limited, and they work only on specific types of files. Hence the reason why the mediainfo package is popular.

eMule prefers to use its own internal mediainfoanalyzer for avi RIFF files. To use the dll you will have to disable MEDIAINFO_RIFF in preferences.ini

Mediainfo is capable to deliver far more data (technical data) compared to what eMule is able to show in the content tab (only tags?). We hope the capabilities of eMule (or others mods) will be extended with further improvements to Mediainfo ;)

== Known problems ==
 
Current version of mediainfo (0.7.4.7) is not capable to give useful information for mpeg files NOT YET COMPLETED.
 
 
It works for any other file, but not for INCOMPLETE .mpg /.mpeg.
 
(For more informations about this specific problem see: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=581181&aid=1749940&group_id=86862 )
 
 
So it's up to you to choose an old version (the suggested one distributed also with morphxt installer package is 0.7.0.3) not supporting MKV, X264 and others newers formats, or a new version (like 0.7.4.7) not able to print useful information about INCOMPLETE .mpg/.mpeg files :)
