Movie::Info 0.1

SYNOPSIS

my $mi = Movie::Info->new || die "Couldnt find an mplayer to usen";

my %info = $mi->info($file) || warn "Couldnt read info from $filen" && next;
print "$file (WxH) - $info{width}x$info{height}n";

}

Movie::Info is a thin layer around MPlayers --identify command line flag. As such it can only give you as much information as Mplayer is able to give you which is down to the quality and number of codecs you have installed.
MPlayer is available from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/

This module is largely based on the midentify script shipped with MPlayer.

METHODS

new [path to mplayer]

Returns a new Movie::Info instance or undef if it cant find an mplayer binary.
To find a binary it looks in three places - firstly if youve passed in a path to look at it checks there, secondly at the environment variable $MOVIE_INFO_MPLAYER_PATH and then finally it searches your $PATH like the standard which command in Unix.

info < filename >

Returns a hash representing all the meta data we can garner about file.
Returns undef if it cant read the file.
