| Summary | 0007475: Display basic video properties in Properties' details tab | ||||
| Description | As suggested by Zvezdan in 0006971, MM should display basic video properties in the properties dialog's non-editable section of the details tab (the current properties are primarily audio properties). Suggested layout for Type=Video, TV, Video Podcast, Music Video If we retain the current structure which assumes 1 video, 1 audio track per file: Length:, File Size: Video codec: , Video bitrate: Resolution:, Framerate: Audio Codec: (e.g. MP3 VBR), Audio bitrate: Frequency:, Channels: Language(s):, Subtitles: Last played: If we adopt a new format which doesn't assume 1 video, 1 audio track per file (preferred, though we could switch to this in the future): Length: , File size: Last played: Type,Codec,Details (this is a table) Video, MPEG-4, 512x384 23fps 500kbps Audio, MP3 VBR, 2 Channel 44100 Hz 128kbps, English Subtitles, , French | ||||
| Additional Information | Set to 'immediate' for Jiri/Michal to review to finalize spec. | ||||

I would definitely prefer the table. We already detect this info for the most of the containers (need it for autoconversions). Except info about subtitles and bitrate type (VBR/CBR) - this need to be implemented. And some containers do not contain info about language (e.g. MPEG), or this info is used quite rarely (AVI). Bitrate values will be sometimes only some estimation, it would take more time to detect more accurate value (especially for VBR), and I think it is not so important, some nominal or estimated value will be enough. |

I would add "display aspect ratio" for video stream, especially MPEGs have often non-square pixels and pixel resolution is not conform with display aspect ratio then. |

Per offline discussion, the Properties > Details tab would display the following below the horizontal bar for video file types: ---------------------------------------------------- Length: , File size: Last played: Streams -------- Video, MPEG-4, 512x384, 23fps, 500kbps Audio, MP3 VBR, 2 Channel, 44100 Hz, 128kbps, English Note: in case of mass file edits, MM could display all unique streams there (I.e. in case two videos have the same resolution, codec, etc., the stream would appear once). That said, if that's too CPU intensive, it might be preferable to just not show anything. |

Displaying audio and video streams info implemented in build 1354. Support for subtitle streams need some work yet (format plugins does not detect them now). Audio language constant is not mapped to more readable form yet (displays "eng" instead of "English", or "eng-us" instead of "English (United States)"). Should we localizate these language strings? There could be a lot of them (ISO 639-2 Code list contains more than 500 languages). |

|
Subtitle streams fixed in build 1354 (supported embeded subtitles in MPEG-PS (VOB), MKV, MP4, AVI). Resolving, so it could be tested. |
