The Media Information API provides functions to get information about media items stored on an internal and external storage.

Required Header

#include <media_content.h>

Overview

The Media Information API provides functions to get basic information e.g. path, date, type etc about media items (media_info_h) present in the device. Media Information (media_info_h) is a generalization of media content of any type (audio, image, video and others).

Received information about media items can be the processed using dedicated APIs:

API	Description
Media Information	Provides details about all items present in the device. Provide functions to get information (e.g. title, size, mime type etc) about the files.
Audio Metadata	Provides details about audio items present in the device. Provide functions to get information (e.g. genre, album, year, bitrate etc) about the audio files.
Face Detection	Provide functions to detect faces from image.
Image Metadata	Provides details about image items present in the device. Provide functions to get information (e.g. longitude, description, date etc) about the image files.
Video Metadata	Provides details about video items present in the device. Provide functions to get information (e.g. duration, date etc) about the video files.

The media information API provides the following information. Regarding the information of each media type (audio, video, or image), please refer to the type-specific metadata page.
