First off, let me just say that I really like your tool. I've used it for a short time but found it very helpful.
What I'm attempting to do with your tool, I'm not sure is entirely possible. What I'd like to do is via a DOS command line, send a file to MediaInfo, and have it write out a file of meta-data information about the media. I will then parse those files.
The problem that I have occurring is two-fold. First, I cannot get the Custom-Reporting feature to work when I try to create a custom report with a bunch of information in it. Currently, I'm trying to get all of the General Information. However, every time I try to run it, a Stack Overflow error occurs. I'm pasting in the attached information into the custom report editor window. I took all the items that were listed in the help and removed all deprecated items to get the list. If I can get the "General" section to work, I was going to do the same for the Video and Audio sections next. Ultimately, I would like to get all of the meta-data about a piece of media into a text format so then I can create a quick report from it.
Secondly, I don't see any information or examples of how MediaInfo can be run from the command line other than http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en/Support/FAQ#Cmd_Options seems to indicate that there is a command line interface. All I would like to do is send it a file and run a custom report specified.

So why do you use a template for this? The CLI (Command Line Interface) is made for this.

OK, recursivity bug on %Inform% (it is used for custom display, it calls itself), remove this line waiting for a patch.
After removing %Inform% line, no more crash.

No need of custom report for this!
- GUI: Menu debug, "Advanced mode", and activate "Text" view
- CLI: MediaInfo -f --Language=raw xxx.avi

Accepted.
Warning: non-paid bugs are set to low priority, I don't know when I have time to handle it.
