Is this intended or a bug?

[sbraz]

That looks like a bug, can you upload a sample file please?

[sbraz]

Ah nevermind, I get it, did you use -f? I think you didn't and that's why you don't see all the info on your XML.

[Hellowlol]

No i didnt use -f. Does pymediainfo use that by default? I tried to look for that option but i couldnt find it in your code.

[sbraz]

It's called "complete" in the library, not "full":

pymediainfo/pymediainfo/__init__.py

Line 107 in 938727f

lib.MediaInfo_Option(None, "Complete", "1")

[Hellowlol]

Ah, thanks! Ps, i think this should be optional since it returns alot of junk :P

[sbraz]

Well, I could make an option but it would be enabled by default so as not to break backwards compatibility.
I usually only access the attributes I need, so it's usually not a problem. I can't think of a scenario where it would be bad to have too much data, unless you just dump it like in your example.
Feel free to make a PR if you really want that feature :)
