Not tested on a device yet. What that means
mediainfo (mediainfo) in Breadstick
Breadstick runs Debian's own mediainfo package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so mediainfo (mediainfo) should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.
Commands in the package
mediainfo
Type it in Breadstick's Terminal to start the program.
Audio and video tools run on the device's processor: Linux apps get no hardware video encoding or decoding, so converting a long video takes a while. Sound plays through the device's own audio output. More in the docs: The Terminal.
