Small python script parsing MLV metadata

[byte_order]

Hi all,

To quickly extract MLV file duration (and some others) information from a command line interface, I wrote a small python script parsing most MLV metadata.
I dunno if it's useless for anybody but me, but if someone have some CLI-based MLV  workflow and mayb be interested, here the script:

It's for python 2.7. Should be easy to fix for python3, though.

Very useful - even as documentation.

Minor patch to show pixel binning info:
