Segmentation fault in pymediainfo-2.1-py2.7 on ArchLinux

[realvz]

First of all I am very new to pymediainfo, so I apologize if I am not using this correctly or not providing enough information.

I built a script on Ubuntu 15.10 and it worked perfectly but I recently migrated to ArchLinux and I have been having issues pymediainfo crashing every time I try to parse a file.

My system is running both Python3 and Python2.7, but my script is written in 2.7 so I have used pip2 to install pymediainfo.

When I run the code mentioned below in Python3 it works without any issues, I am trying to see what am I doing wrong in Python2.7

I am running pymediainfo-2.1.
SystemInfo
Linux 4.5.1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Apr 14 19:19:32 CEST 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux

from pymediainfo import MediaInfo
MediaInfo.parse('/mnt/Media/Movies/Moonwalkers.2015.BR-Rip.AC3.-FGT.mkv')

I have verified I have full permissions on the file in question.

Appreciate the help!

Can you see in which function the segfault occurs? I assume it is either MediaInfoA_Open or MediaInfo_Inform.

OK I can reproduce this on archlinux too.

Sorry I am very new to this and don't understand your question "Can you see in which function the segfault occurs? I assume it is either MediaInfoA_Open or MediaInfo_Inform."

Here's what I am getting.

`[realvarez@MediaServer01 fail2ban]$ python2
Python 2.7.11 (default, Mar 31 2016, 06:18:34)
[GCC 5.3.0] on linux2

from pymediainfo import MediaInfo
MediaInfo.parse('/mnt/Media/Movies/Moonwalkers.2015.BR-Rip.AC3.-FGT.mkv')
Segmentation fault (core dumped)`

No worries, you wouldn't see it with a normal Archlinux libmediainfo anyway. Since I can reproduce the issue, I'll work on it.
In the meantime, you can probably call the binary instead of using the library:
info = MediaInfo(subprocess.check_output(["mediainfo", "-f", "--output=XML", "file.ext"], universal_newlines=True))

Thanks. Seems like the only thing I needed to fix in my code to move to Python3 were a few print statements, so that is what I have done.

I am fully functional with pyMediaInfo on Python3 now.

This should now be fixed. I'll make a new release containing the fix.
