How to use MediaInfo library?

Nov 29th, 2007
Hello,

I'm trying to use MediaInfo library in python via ctypes. I tried this code:

Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. import ctypes
  2. milib = ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary("mediainfo.dll")
  3. handle = milib.MediaInfo_New()
  4. milib.MediaInfo_Open(handle, "D:\temp\video.avi")

Unfortunately the last line complaints that there are not enough parameters for that function. I based this on a sample Delphi code, which is shipped with the library. There are also samples in many other languages. Unfortunately I don't know anything else then Pascal and PHP. And now I'm trying to learn Python.

I would greatly appreciate if anyone could help me with this.

I asked my friend if he can help me with it and he wrote a wrapper for the library in Python. You can find it here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=96516&page=11.

I hope it helps.
