MediaInfo Update

Hi everyone,

I have been having a problem with Sonarr scanning some media files on my OMV and on the Sonarr forums I have been asked to try and upgrade the MediaInfo program that's currently installed on my system. I currently have MediaInfo version 0.7.58 and the newest version on the site is 0.7.77. In the Debian repo the version is the one I currently have installed.

I tried installing the package manually with

dpkg -i http://mediaarea.net/download/binary/mediainfo/0.7.77/mediainfo_0.7.77-1_amd64.Debian_7.0.deb

but it doesn't upgrade my current version.

I'm still learning and would appreciate some help in getting mediainfo updated to the most current.

Thanks!

I did that exact thing. First thing I tried was the code I used in my first post by having the server pull the file directly from the website. Second thing I did was download the file to my root directory and ran it from there using:

dpkg -i mediainfo_0.7.77-1_amd64.Debian_7.0.deb

And this is what I got

(Reading database ... 40008 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace mediainfo 0.7.77 (using mediainfo_0.7.77-1_amd64.Debian_7.0.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement mediainfo ...
Setting up mediainfo (0.7.77) ...
Processing triggers for man-db ...

Then I typed this to check version install

mediainfo --version

Then this is what I get:

MediaInfo Command Line,
MediaInfoLib - v0.7.58

So the update didn't work. Any other suggestions?

you need to download the libmediainfo also and install it

When I download and install this, do I do it in the /usr/bin/mediainfo directory? Or install it in under the root directory?

That's awesome. Thanks for the help. It looks like I was able to get it updated.

mediainfo --version
MediaInfo Comand Line,
MediaInfoLib - v0.7.77

Upgrading MediaInfo to the latest version did correct the issue I was having with Sonarr scanning some video files and hanging in an endless loop. It might be a good idea having the newer version available via the Repo. The version that's available on the official Debian Repo is (0.7.58-1), how often does the official repo get updated?

I hope that if someone else is having issues with Sonarr hanging this thread will help them.
