tracks only works in some cases, xml empty

[eamonnkenny]

mediainfo -f --Output=XML filename.webm works fine.
but since latest pip upgrade of pymediainfo from 1.4.0 to 2.0 finding that tracks information doesn't exist anymore. Well in fact dom is empty upon loading when it clearly isn't when running mediainfo.

Tried a different machine with 1.4.0 installed and worked on same file. Then upgraded using pip to 2.0 and found that same file fails.

Try downloading: http://peep.scss.tcd.ie/WebContent/corpus/dail_files/20080520_LCb/20080520_LCb.webm as a test case. Note, xmlwf shows XML from mediainfo is well-formed.

This seems to be an issue with Python 2. It works fine with Python 3.
It might be related to #22 which is also something that fails on Python 2 but not Python 3. I have not yet been able to identify the issue.
Version 2.0 does not call the binary but relies on the library. If you want to mimic the old behaviour until it is fixed, you can do something like pymediainfo.MediaInfo(subprocess.check_output(["mediainfo", "--output=XML", "-f", "20080520_LCb.webm"]))
I'm attaching your video sample for future reference: 20080520_LCb.webm.zip

The problem was with the unicode characters in the XML output. Please try with the git version (pip install -U --user git+https://github.com/sbraz/pymediainfo/)
I will be making a new release shortly.
