Can't seem to get it to work on Plasma 5.12.5. Using Dolphin 17.12.3. I have mediainfo dowloaded and the context menu entries are listed in 'services' in the settings menu. But when I right click an mp3 file, the entries aren't there.

Found out that it was a bug with file indexing. After disabling it the entries pop up.

However now when I click on 'get media info' or 'short media' the window never appears and only an icon appears in the task manager for a moment, then disappears.

How bout you add image/* in ServiceTypes and instead of
-title "Info about %u"
you could have
-title "Info about `basename %u`"
so as to not show the whole path in the title.

ok, after a few tests i decided to not use --Inform. It needs an extra file as a template, but since i want to keep this servicemenu as simple as possible i'm not going to implement it.
The main reason is that i want to make this servicemenu installable from dolphin: if you know a way for it please tell me.

Thanks ! There is just a mistake in the HTML output, as it creates a file with ".txt" extension. One just needs to change "-LogFile=%u.txt" into "-LogFile=%u.html", in the "[Desktop Action getHTML]" section.

I've created a simple bash script which fixes the alignment. If someone wants to try it out drop me a message.

Add trailing semicolon at the end of Actions array and add "TryExec=mediainfo" in [Desktop Entry]

For newbies (like me) copy the file within:

~/.kde/share/kde4/services/

Thanks for your work.

/usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/
