ReNamer:Scripts:MediaInfo

Code

• Author: Denis Kozlov. Date: 2018-04-09.
• Tested with ReNamer 6.8.

The script is configured to extract "Encoded_Date" meta value, but you can change it to any other tag supported by MediaInfo, by modifying the OutputParameter constant in the script. See below for more information on supported meta tags.

The extracted meta value is used in a raw form and will replace the original file name. The resulting file name may require some additional reformatting, which can be done using the standard renaming rules.

const
  MediaInfoExe = 'C:\Tools\MediaInfoCLI\MediaInfo.exe';
  OutputParameter = 'General;%Encoded_Date%';

var
  Command: WideString;
  Output: String;

begin
  Command :=
    '"' + MediaInfoExe + '"' +
    ' --output="' + OutputParameter + '"' +
    ' "' + FilePath + '"';
  if ExecConsoleApp(Command, Output) = 0 then
    FileName := OemToWide(Output) + WideExtractFileExt(FilePath);
end.
