Example 1

from infomedia import mediainfo

data = mediainfo("video.mkv")
print("Duration = {}".format(data['format']['duration']))

Example 2

Notice: The 'streams.stream.1' is guessed as the audio data. This may change if other audio is embedded or something else. If you want to avoid such errors, check 'codec_type' before using / assign data.

from infomedia import mediainfo
import os

folder = '/home/user/Videos/'

for video in os.listdir(folder):
    data = mediainfo(os.path.join(folder, video))
    print("{}\n"
          "Duration: {}"
          "Codec type (video): {}"
          "Codec type (audio): {}"
          .format(
              os.path.join(folder, video),
              data['format']['duration'],
              data['streams.stream.0']['codec_type'],
              data['streams.stream.1']['codec_type'],
            )
          )
