mediainfo cli

[zerobyte01]

Hi! I am trying to get the cli version of mediainfo to print the color matrix info; In the full output I found three sections that apply: "Color primaries", "Transfer characteristics" and "Matrix coefficients"

I tried to use: mediainfo --inform="Video;%Colour_primaries%,%transfer_charact eristics%,%matrix_coeficients%" Inputfile.mkv

but it just returns a blank line and back to command prompt.

would appreciate any helpful info from those experienced with cli mediainfo

Please try the following command:

mediainfo --inform="Video;%colour_primaries%,%MasteringDisplay_ColorPrimaries%,%transfer_characteristics%,%matrix_coefficients%" Inputfile.mkv

If you want to detect HDR, you may also need %BitDepth%

exact names for parameters can be obtained like this, this is bat file:

mediainfo.exe --Info-Parameters > parameters.txt
START  "notepad.exe" parameters.txt

better to load it by notepad because the list is long, and this way it could be saved

One hint: The maintenance of that list doesn't seem to be the favourite occupation of the MediaInfo developer. That's why it's missing many fields.
If so, then choose "XML" as View. The parameters usually correspond to the tag names.
