This gem provides a native ruby extension to interface with the Mediainfo library.

The gem is designed as a drop-in replacement for the Mediainfo gem (original version here), but uses the MediaInfoLib directly in order to improve performance and reliability. Whenever possible the original API has been made available.

MediaInfo performs some detection on continuous file names (e.g., image sequences) and might therefore for example report video? as true where you expect it to be false. If you want to disable this feature, instantiate with:

MediaInfoNative::MediaInfo.new(ignore_continuous_file_names: true)

The MediaInfoLib does not automatically install the libmediainfo.pc file. You need to do this manually until I care to make the gem not fail when it doesn't exist.
