loshlee / MediainfoDrop.scpt

Last active July 31, 2024 21:54

This is the source for an AppleScript droplet that you can create yourself on a Mac using Script Editor to save the script as an application. (The rest of this description is included in a comment at the beginning of the script source.)

	(*
	This is the source for an AppleScript droplet that you can create yourself on a Mac using Script Editor to save the script as an application. It will use Terminal to return basic media info for a file that you drop onto its icon. Media-info must be installed on your Mac System, of course. It can be installed using Homebrew. This targets media-info as installed by Homebrew on a Silicon Mac system. You may find it necessary to change "/opt/homebrew/bin/mediainfo" to "/usr/local/bin/mediainfo" if you use it on an Intel Mac where Homebrew was used to install media-info. Important: Remember, to make the resulting document function as an AppleScript Droplet app, you must save the script as an Application using Script Editor.
