Mediainfo is capable to deliver way more data (technical data) then what eMule can show in the content tab (only tags?), we will hope the capabilities of eMule (or others mods) will be extended ;) | Mediainfo is capable to deliver way more data (technical data) then what eMule can show in the content tab (only tags?), we will hope the capabilities of eMule (or others mods) will be extended ;) | ||

Description
MediaInfo supplies technical and tag information about a video or audio file. MediaInfo support various codecs (DivX, XviD, MSMPEG4, ASP, H.264, AVC, OGG, MP3, WAV, RA, AC3, DTS, AAC, M4A, AU, AIFF, SRT, SSA, ASS, SAMI...) and containers (MKV, OGM, AVI, DivX, WMV, QuickTime, Real, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, VOB...).
Why should i use it?
MediaInfo is very usefull as it does check file extension and filecontent, and you can see, as soon as the headers are available, if a file is really a multimedia file or if it's some sort of fake data.
There are several way to use it, one of them is to get it integrated into eMule.
How can i use it?
To get it working with eMule and be able to see some more infos about the files you are downloading/sharing you just need to download mediainfo.dll from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=86862&package_id=90614
and extract the mediainfo.dll file in the same dir as eMule.exe.
The next time you will start eMule it will be able to detect more filetypes and codecs, and will be able to show additional infos 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 some internal routines to detect codecs and tags, but those routines are very limited and works only certain types of files.
Versions working with eMule
At the time of writing the current version of MediaInfo is 0.7.4.5 and works correctly with eMule 0.47c.
Capabilities of mediainfo over standard eMule
as an example of the "power" of mediainfo here is a screenshot on how an mkv file with x264 video and ac3 audio is seen in this way WITHOUT mediainfo.dll:
and in this show how it's seen WITH mediainfo.dll:
Many tech details still not showed
Mediainfo is capable to deliver way more data (technical data) then what eMule can show in the content tab (only tags?), we will hope the capabilities of eMule (or others mods) will be extended ;)
