My objective was to write a script that analysed all the files in a folder.
using a python library such as pymediainfo
I am only testing on one for simplicity
with this simple script

from pymediainfo import MediaInfo

def analyze_media(file_path):
    media_info = MediaInfo.parse(file_path)
    return media_info.to_data()

def write_to_txt(data, output_file):
    with open(output_file, 'w') as f:
        for track in data['tracks']:
            for key, value in track.items():
                f.write(f"{key}: {value}\n")
            f.write("\n")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    file_path = r"U:\torrent\tmp2\xxxxxxxx.mkv"
    output_file = "media_info.txt"

    media_data = analyze_media(file_path)
    write_to_txt(media_data, output_file)

    print("Media information has been written to media_info.txt")

I have a much more detailed result but with an incompatible format

in the extended version there is much more information but the format is not compatible.

I have seen that I can change the export with MediaInfo.parse(file_path, output="")
See https://pymediainfo.readthedocs.io/en/stable/pymediainfo.html for the documentation of the output parameter.

Is there an XML file that defines the format of the mediainfo to be imported so that this tracker communicates with pymediainfo?

Thank in avance!
