Codec problems due to mediainfo/NFO interference

[Omertron]

Original issue 2393 created by Omertron on 2012-03-23T14:56:23.000Z:

Codec problems from issue2247 were partly fixed, but I'm having still problems with these codec data.
I tried r2999 and still some codecs are duplicated and/or others are missing.

The filename couldn't be the only problem since NONE of my files has audio info in it.

E.g. for a movie with NFO (DVD structure) with 7 audio tracks only the "language" tag is completely correct; compare languages in audioCodec -> only the first 4 are listed but twice.

  <language>DE, DE, EN, EN, EN, EN, EN</language>

...
<audioCodec>AC3 (de) / DTS (de) / AC3 (en) / AC3 (en) / AC3 (deu) / DCA (deu) / AC3 (eng) / AC3 (eng)</audioCodec>
<codecs>
<audio count="8">
<codec bitrate="UNKNOWN" channels="6" codecId="UNKNOWN" codecIdHint="UNKNOWN"

</video>
</codecs>
<audioChannels>6 / 6 / 6 / 2 / 6 / 6 / 6 / 2</audioChannels>

The language codes of the last four show the 3-letter code (obviously from the NFO) whereas the first four codecs show the wanted 2-letter code. When scanning this movie without the NFO only the first four codes are listed (i.e. three are still missing).

MKVs show almost the same issue despite that whithout NFO all codecs seem ok - though I have got only MKVs with max. two audio tracks.

So it seems that mediainfo also interferes with NFO. But I don't think that mediainfo should override NFO data since I use them esp. for correcting DVD data.

Same problem here.
I use eversion/evzap and nfo created by yanfoe.
Yamj picks information from nfo and mediainfo, resulting in duplicated info for audio codec.
