I can't get MediaInfo to output the layout I want, no matter what I try, and I've searched far and wide, and the documentation is extremely scarce, and the development seems to have stalled for years in key areas. In particular, the author(s?) seems to acknowledge that the CLI mode with custom templates is but a rudimentary draft that was never finished, and may never be as it's not “sponsored” and thus has a very low priority. While on the GUI front the custom settings area for tree / text modes has only displayed an aggravating “not yet...” message for years.
MediaInfo GUI outputs this :
I want the precise size in bytes, and the precise duration, at least down to the seconds (in this case the seconds are displayed but when a file's duration is more than 1 hour, only the minutes are displayed which is not nearly accurate enough, and there are still no option to change the default layout, something which must have been requested a gazillion and a half times).Code:Général Identifiant unique : 239089836082144755665246587473294677130 (0xB3DF0708559F7A36BBB995CD646E548A) Nom complet : T:\ZA Saint Seiya ST Eng\[ZA].Saint.Seiya.Episode.001.DVDrip.[X264.AAC(Jpn-Fre).Sub(Fre-Eng).Chap].mkv Format : Matroska Version du format : Version 2 Taille du fichier : 180 Mio Durée : 24 min 21s Débit global moyen : 1 036 kb/s Nom du film : Saint Seiya - Episode 001 Date d'encodage : UTC 2010-12-26 06:48:54 Application utilisée : mkvmerge v3.1.0 ('Happy up here') built on Jan 19 2010 12:09:24 Bibliothèque utilisée : libebml v0.7.9 + libmatroska v0.8.1 Attachments : Andy.ttf / augie.ttf / bluehigh_cellphone_msv.ttf / Bolide-Regular.ttf / CronosPro-Bold.ttf / CronosPro-Semibold.ttf / CronosPro-SemiboldIt.ttf / Diamond_Fantasy.ttf / 001mini.bmp / Bolide_Regular.ttf Vidéo ID : 1 Format : AVC Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec Profil du format : High@L5.1 Paramètres du format : CABAC / 16 Ref Frames Paramètres du format, CABAC : Oui Paramètres du format, RefFrames : 16 images Identifiant du codec : V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC Durée : 24 min 21s Débit nominal : 900 kb/s Largeur : 720 pixels Hauteur : 544 pixels Format à l'écran : 4/3 Type d'images/s : Constant Images par seconde : 23,976 (23976/1000) Im/s Espace de couleurs : YUV Sous-échantillonnage de la chrominance : 4:2:0 Profondeur des couleurs : 8 bits Type de balayage : Progressif Bits/(Pixel*Image) : 0.096 Bibliothèque utilisée : x264 core 54 svn-618 Paramètres d'encodage : cabac=1 / ref=16 / deblock=1:2:2 / analyse=0x3:0x133 / me=umh / subme=6 / brdo=1 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=16 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=2 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / chroma_qp_offset=0 / threads=1 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / mbaff=0 / bframes=2 / b_pyramid=1 / b_adapt=1 / b_bias=0 / direct=2 / wpredb=1 / bime=1 / keyint=300 / keyint_min=25 / scenecut=30 / rc=2pass / bitrate=900 / ratetol=1.0 / rceq='blurCplx^(1-qComp)' / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=10 / qpmax=51 / qpstep=4 / cplxblur=20.0 / qblur=0.5 / ip_ratio=1.20 / pb_ratio=1.30 Langue : Japonais Default : Oui Forced : Non Audio #1 ID : 2 Format : AAC LC SBR Format/Info : Advanced Audio Codec Low Complexity with Spectral Band Replication Nom commercial : HE-AAC Paramètres du format : Explicit Identifiant du codec : A_AAC-2 Durée : 24 min 21s Canaux : 2 canaux Channel layout : L R Echantillonnage : 48,0 kHz Images par seconde : 23,438 Im/s (2048 SPF) Mode de compression : Avec perte Langue : Japonais Default : Oui Forced : Non Audio #2 ID : 5 Format : AAC LC SBR Format/Info : Advanced Audio Codec Low Complexity with Spectral Band Replication Nom commercial : HE-AAC Paramètres du format : Explicit Identifiant du codec : A_AAC-2 Durée : 24 min 21s Canaux : 2 canaux Channel layout : L R Echantillonnage : 48,0 kHz Images par seconde : 23,438 Im/s (2048 SPF) Mode de compression : Avec perte Langue : Français Default : Non Forced : Non Texte #1 ID : 3 Format : ASS Identifiant du codec : S_TEXT/ASS Identifiant du codec/Info : Advanced Sub Station Alpha Mode de compression : Sans perte Titre : Sub avec Θdition (ASS) Langue : Français Default : Non Forced : Non Texte #2 ID : 4 Format : UTF-8 Identifiant du codec : S_TEXT/UTF8 Identifiant du codec/Info : UTF-8 Plain Text Titre : Sub sans Θdition (SRT) Langue : Français Default : Non Forced : Non Texte #3 ID : 6 Format : UTF-8 Identifiant du codec : S_TEXT/UTF8 Identifiant du codec/Info : UTF-8 Plain Text Titre : ScΦnes censurΘes Default : Non Forced : Non Texte #4 ID : 7 Format : ASS Identifiant du codec : S_TEXT/ASS Identifiant du codec/Info : Advanced Sub Station Alpha Mode de compression : Sans perte Titre : Soft style subtitle [By: D-YFI] Langue : Anglais Default : Oui Forced : Non Menu 00:00:00.000 : fr:1.

Using MediaInfo CLI and this template (I spent hours last night trying to figure out why it didn't work at first, since there was no warning whatsoever I wasn't even sure if it came from the command's syntax or the template, turned out that accentuated characters, which are très fréquents in french, aren't recognized in custom templates, although obviously there's no such problem with the GUI version) :

Some fields stay empty, probably because there's no corresponding information to extract, most of those aren't important anyway. But the “attachments” line should be populated, as it is on the GUI output. And I can't get it to display the chapters, I've tried every single field listed with “--info-parameters”, to no avail. Yet if I output every single field available with “mediainfo.exe -f”, the chapters are there.

Parameters are case sensitive.Code:
mediainfo --inform=Video;%Duration/String1% "filename.mp4" 1h 24mn 29s 440ms
-
Mediainfo cli can output all these settings including duration to thousanths of a second. Unfortunately the later version of the cli do not include the hundreds of settings as a text file to reference.
-
For a list of parameters:
gets 1200 lines of text about all the parameters it can report.Code:mediainfo --info-parameters
-
jagabo... Very good information. The original text had several pages to make useage easier. I have uploaded a version to my dropbox which contains:
1. The Command Line Options
2. Command Line Examples
3. Creating Templates
4. Using the CLI Output in Batch Processing
5. Batch Processing Example
6. Color coded Entries for areas (General, Video, Audio, text, image, menu)

Well, thanks for these replies, but I don't think that it adresses the issue at hand...
What I asked was : with the CLI version, how to get at least all the information obtained with the GUI version, in particular the list of attachments and the list of chapters ? These informations do appear in the full report (mediainfo -f), but I can't find the corresponding options in the full list of parameters (which I already dumped as a text file -- not so convenient indeed but seems thorough) to add them selectively and get a streamlined report, non cluttered with redundant or irrelevant information. I searched in the list of parameters with the keyword “attach”, nothing. For the menu I tried every single option, nothing useful.
(Funny [or not-so-funny] thing is, this is a task I had first attempted on 16 December 2015, and quickly abandoned after an evening of fiddling, for I could not get the intended result.) -
So, noone knows how to get those specific items of information from MediaInfo CLI — the list of attachments and the list of chapters ?
-
So, to answer my own question (at least part of it) : no, it is currently not possible to get the list of chapters with MediaInfo CLI and a custom template.
https://github.com/optio50/Mediainfo-Template
https://sourceforge.net/p/mediainfo/discussion/297610/thread/9182ad3d06/
And when it comes to MediaInfo, “currently” pretty much means “forever”. (On that particular aspect, 16 years and counting.)This is currently not possible, the template engine has a flaw here.
It is planned to update it, but currently not a priority.
So, is there any way to tweak the default output in order to get the precise size in bytes and the precise duration ? -
There is a new option BetterMediaInfo. It can show the precise duration by default.
