output="" for MediaInfo.parse is equivalent to -f

Hello, I'd like to print the vanilla mediainfo output.
Using MediaInfo.parse(<file>, output="") it returns the mediainfo -f <file> output string.
Is there a way to print the vanilla mediainfo <file> output?

Hi,
As mentioned in https://pymediainfo.readthedocs.io/en/stable/pymediainfo.html#pymediainfo.MediaInfo.parse, you can use full=False for this.

ok, it wasn't very clear what was "additional tags", thank you.

I think I used the help from the mediainfo CLI to write this:

--Full, -f                                  
                    Full information Display (all internal tags)

But I'll also mention in the doc that this is equivalent to the CLI's -f/--full.

@evilsh3ll I've pushed an update to the doc in 5731861:
