MediaInfo not working

[klamakloma]

I downloaded the MediaInfo DLL extension, copied the files to the BRU folder and... it did nothing. I expected MediaInfo properties to show up when I clicked on "Show List of File Properties" on one of my videos, but only the System ones appeared. The video in question has an encoding date of 2001-05-05, which shows up when using MediaInfo normally on my PC, but in BRU neither the encoding date or anything MediaInfo related shows up in its properties.

IGNORE (what I wrote). IT IS TOTALLY WRONG.
You need the specific dll's linked to in the Admin's post, below.

The MediaInfo.dll needs to be the same bitness as the 'Bulk Rename Utility.exe' that you are running.

MediaInfo.dll needs to be named "MediaInfo.dll".
MediaInfo.dll needs to be in the same directory where 'Bulk Rename Utility.exe' is found.


MediaInfo has separate downloads for 32 & 64-bit DLL's.
(I've never used the installer, so I don't know what that does. I've only ever used the zip/7z & simply extracted the .dll from the archive.)
And again, you need the appropriate bitness to correspond with what BRU itself is.

I downloaded the 64bit version of MediaInfo from mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo/Download/Windows, then I downloaded the DLL extension from bulkrenameutility.co.uk/dll.php. I made sure I was using the 64bit version of both that and BRU. Renamed MediaInfo64.dll to MediaInfo.dll, put it in the same folder as Bulk Rename Utility.exe. Nothing.

Deleted everything, did a clean install, made once again sure I had the 64bit version of both, renamed MediaInfo64.dll to MediaInfo.dll, put it in the same folder as Bulk Rename Utility.exe. Nothing.

Restarted PC, maybe that would make a difference? Nope. Nothing.

I can't figure this out. I'm using Windows 10, could it be a problem with the OS, somehow?

EDIT: Working now. I just renamed the file back to MediaInfo64.dll.

Seems to work on all filetypes with the unfortunate exception of .ASF video files from the early 2000s. I checked and they 100% have MediaInfo data when viewed on other programs, but not BRU.

Confirmed (looking at it, very quickly).
If I take the very same .asf & rename it to .asf.wmv, then BRU does see the the MediaInfo:* "tags".


Sample file in this post, BigBuckBunny.7z.

In there (among others) is (name abbreviated) "133_BigBuckBunny.294._...294.asf".
(The file names are purposely long, but you can simply shorten it to whatever you want.)

"133.asf", in BRU, does not show MediaInfo:* tags

Simply rename (or copy & rename) the file to ".wmv".

"133.asf.wmv", in BRU, does show the MediaInfo:* tags
