Support for MediaInfo v19

Current build of MC v4.2.2.2 includes MediaInfo.dll v18.3.1.0
Current version of MediaInfo (
https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo) is 19.9.0.0
Drop in and replace the x86 version of the v19 MediaInfo.dll doesn't work with MC v4.2.2.2
Is it possible to make MC compatible for MediaInfo v19 for forward compatibility?

Possible, yes.
Some day I should make a new build for that then... and check what changed (as the version changed, I suppose there may be some compatibility issues).
I don't know when I'll do it though.

Completely understand.
Just thought I'd flag it.

Hi. I guess this is more pressing issue now. More and more movies are not recognized by current mediainfo version. Could it be possible to upgrade to mediainfo 20? Thanks.

Still on my to-do list, sorry but I haven't yet taken time for that

Hi,
Better late than never, here is the a exe with MediaInfo v20, replace it in the folder of a regular version for testing:
http://update.antp.be/amc/beta/amc4230b.rar
It is also made for testing some fixes described there:
viewtopic.php?p=53998#p53998
So in case you encounter different behaviour with scripts compared to the stable 4.2.2 release please report them.

Tried this beta release toady on a couple of HEVC / H265 files, it is not resolving the Video Format name but is populating the Video Bitrate data kbps.
Where as the existing version resolves the Video Format name to, V_MPEGH/ISO/HEVC, but on a number of these will not resolve the Video Bitrate.
edit - is also not updating the Video Format field for H264 files.

Thanks. I tried new beta with a movie and it didn't fill any value - just like the older version.
Standalone MediaInfo 20.09 app detected everything all right. It was Matroska with AVC and DTS-HD Master Audio.
Also noticed that for some movies older version detected all fields, but newer didn't fill video format and audio format. It was Matroska with AVC and AC3.

Weird, I wonder what could cause that
Maybe there is some new stream info that AMC is not fetching, some day I should investigate that.

Hi, I know a little abour programming but not building/compling on Windows. Is there any way I can help to fix AMC not being able to import information from
MediaInfo new dlls ? Study some AMC source code, study how Mediainfo.dll works ? Anything I should read first

Hi,
possible solution (works for me) via patching MovieCatalog.exe. \0 denotes NUL character (0x00 byte).
Find (one occurrence):
Replace with:
Or you can use patched exe here (on your own risk, you obviously shouldn't trust randomly posted exe files):
https://amc.thez.info/MovieCatalog_423b ... format.zip
It should be a simple fix for antp.

I was able to detect more video and audio codecs with this patch working, thank you IkE
bitrates are still missing for AVC / AAC LC

Can't confirm AVC / AAC LC problem.
Example, but I've tried multiple files and it just always works. I have no more ideas
up to my sleeve.

Thanks for the finding.
That string was used at two places in the code: audio & video stream.
I updated the code; if it does not find that Format/String info it falls back to the old Codec/String.
I made a new build so you can test it more "officially":
http://update.antp.be/amc/beta/amc4231b.rar
(same media info version, as when I tried to upgrade to 21.xx it does not seem to work, I guess other change than version number is required)

I also checked new version. It seems to work better, but still there are some movies which are not detected at all. I managed to find a movie where movie itself doesn't work but cut portion works. This is the diff:

I've upgraded to a new verison of media info while adding another feature to the script engine:
https://forum.antp.be/phpbb3/viewtopic. ... 454#p84454
so if you're still around you could check if it works better with version 22.12 of media info, or if it would be better to revert back to 20.xx
