Possible to get full format details without format_additionalfeatures?

[Mchar7]

I'm trying to get a little more detail from on audio track codecs and see that I would need to reference the format_additionalfeatures attribute to do all my checks.

With a DTS:X audio track, the MediaInfo CLI and GUI (most output formats) would show "DTS XLL X" for "format".

Is there anyway to have format return these values via pymediainfo, or is checking format_additionalfeatures the only way?

Hi,
pymediainfo defaults to full output, similarly to mediainfo -f.

With full output, the "Format" attribute is repeated, e.g. from the CLI:

Format                                   : DTS   
Format                                   : DTS XLL X 

With pymediainfo, info for repeated keys can be found under other_format:

In [9]: pymediainfo.MediaInfo.parse("dtsx.mkv").audio_tracks[0].other_format
Out[9]: ['DTS XLL X']

You can use to_data to dump all attributes from your track.

If you prefer a shorter output, you can just pass full=False to parse but you'll see less info this way:

In [7]: pymediainfo.MediaInfo.parse("dtsx.mkv", full=False).audio_tracks[0].format
Out[7]: 'DTS XLL X'

Thanks @sbraz,

I did not see the other_format attribute, I will reference that for my checks. I will need some info that is only provided with a full output so I can't switch to full=False.

Thanks a ton for your help and maintaining pymediainfo, it is instrumental for my project.
