[Bug Report] Some video files' properties are not properly displayed

Post by HASJ »

WMV, MPG, MOV, TS, M4V, ASF are the ones that I noticed. Length is either "00:00" or empty. Height is empty in some of those.
The files are playable normally and both MediaInfo and FFmpeg are able to retrieve the files' information without any errors.

Thank you for your feedback HASJ,

Here are the file types with native support in Everything.

I'll add MOV, TS, M4v and ASF to my list to support.

For now, you will need a third party Property System handler to retrieve meta data for these file types.

Note that a "0.00" or blank may be an indicator of an "issue" with a particular file.

(Sometimes running the file through a [ffmpeg] copy operation "rights" it.
ffmpeg.exe -i xxx.asf -c copy out.asf
)

Also worth noting what Windows itself may say about a particular file.

(MOV, I'm pretty sure, properties simply are not seen.)

Nope, that's wrong.
In general, MOV (Properties) should be seen - though particular codecs within the MOV might not be (like Sorenson).
