An AppImage is a downloadable file for Linux that contains an application and everything the application needs to run (e.g., libraries, icons, fonts, translations, etc.) that cannot be reasonably expected to be part of each target system.

Can you provide an AppImage for the GUI version among your downloads? Building one is very simple since a build recipe is already provided on Github.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/probonopd/AppImages/master/recipes/meta/MediaInfo.yml wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/probonopd/AppImages/master/recipes/meta/Recipe bash Recipe --no-di MediaInfo.yml

The resulting binary file has a size of 9.4 MiB and should run on any system with at least glibc 2.3 installed.

We were actually working on it.
Your method may be more useful and modern (AppImage type 2?), we'll see waht we can do in our automated process.

I think you can close this, as by now AppImage, Flatpak and Snap are provided.
