MediaInfoList Open_Buffer_* functions are not exposed in the DLL.

Hello there,

I would like to use MediaInfo to parse information about Bluray and DVD disks. Searching through various forums, leads me to believe the best solution for that, is using the MediaInfoList class. Unfortunately, the DLL does not expose the Open_Buffer_* functions (such as Open_Buffer_Init) at the moment, although they are defined in the source code.

If I understand the source code correctly, one would just have to export the symbols in MediaInfoDLL_Static.h. Is that correct?

I guess I was too lazy and I missed them, I think it should be enough (but not tested).

Hmm after skimming through the code for MediaInfoList, there doesn't seem to be anything special, that couldn't be achieved by just using multiple MediaInfo objects, correct?

It is mostly removing files when e.g. a DVD folder is tested, only the first .vob of a sequence is kept (others are discarded). In the future, it is planned to have some embedded multi-thread support for speedup.
But as a summary, MediaInfoList is "just using multiple MediaInfo objects", this is its main purpose.

Ah ok, in that case I can just do that myself (So I don't have to manually export those symbols). Thank you for your help. Do you have any resources or tricks for finding the main file in a BDMV or VIDEO_TS folder?

I implemented something a long time ago, I don't remind.
Code is in https://github.com/MediaArea/MediaInfoLib/blob/master/Source/MediaInfo/Multiple/File_Bdmv.cpp and https://github.com/MediaArea/MediaInfoLib/blob/master/Source/MediaInfo/Multiple/File_Dvdv.cpp.
