# Mediainfo As Json Action
This node generates a JSON report for an asset.
The JSON data can be retrieved either via the [{stream.last\_result}](https://docs.helmut.de/helmut4-releases/helmut4-components/streamdesigner/wildcards/result-or-return-wildcards-2/stream-last_result) wildcard or directly through [{node.result.?}](https://docs.helmut.de/helmut4-releases/helmut4-components/streamdesigner/wildcards/result-or-return-wildcards-2/node-result).
The path to the MediaInfo binary can be customized if the executable is located in a different directory or if a specific version is required.
