MediaInfoWDX 2.01

[chaoliu]

MediaInfoWDX call MediaInfo.dll to pull the media information.

I can't post the link because I'm new to the forum.
It is in totalcmd dot net

Hi,
I can't get MediaInfoWDX to show any other field than default.

TC 9.50 x64, Windows 10 v1903 x64, MediaInfoWDX 2.03, MediaInfo DLL v19.09 (x86 and x64).
1. Install MediaInfoWDX
2. Extract MediaInfo.dll and MediaInfo64.dll into plugin dir
3. Open Fields.cfg and replace all "0" in first column with "1", save, close
4. Restart TC.
5. Configure custom columns, add new column, choose MediaInfoWDX
6. None of the fields I changed to "1" are shown, e.g. Accompaniment_General (first field in file Fields.cfg) is not shown.

What am I doing wrong?

TIA
Roman

Same here.

Any other plugin or file manager to see the movie file info in columns after the file name?
example:

Name Long Fps Res Bitrate Ext Size
M738 1:45 24fps 4k 70 mov 2gb

Do you see a file MediaInfoWDX.cfg in the same location as your wincmd.ini? According to the plugin's history, this file is supposed to be created (by the plugin if I understand it correctly) by making a copy of Fields.cfg.

Dalai,

file MediaInfoWDX.cfg in the same location as your wincmd.ini

Oh, so this is the one one has to edit, now it works! Thank you!

chaoliu,
The Readme.txt could really use some work. Sometimes it talks about Fields.cfg, sometimes about Fields.txt, the explanations are lacking - there is no explanation of N, n, T, t, no explanation of what happens if we leave out the path blacklist/whitelist, etc.

Thanks again Dalai!

So it seems that this file doesn't get copied by the plugin, contrary to what its Readme says...

Dalai,
It is copied upon first invokation of the plugin (e.g. listing its fields in the custom columns configuration dialog), so that's true. However, it's nowhere written that this is the file that needs to be edited. After editing, saving and executing cm_unloadplugins, the new settings are loaded upon use.

Thanks

Can't show m4a duration, why?

M4A isn't among the default extensions this plugin processes. But you can change that:

1. Use menu Configuration > Change Settings Files Directly. This opens wincmd.ini and wcx_ftp.ini in Notepad. You can close the Notepad window with wcx_ftp.ini as we don't need that.
2. In Notepad, search for a line containing MediaInfoWDX.wdx in section [ContentPlugins]
   Example from my wincmd.ini

   Code: Select all

   38=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\MediaInfoWDX\MediaInfoWDX.wdx
   38_detect=EXT="AIF"|EXT="AU"|EXT="SND"|EXT="MID"|EXT="RMI"|EXT="MED"|EXT="MP3"|EXT="RA"|EXT="WAV"|EXT="VQF"|EXT="AAC"|EXT="APE"|EXT="FLAC"|EXT="MP4A"|EXT="CDA"|EXT="RM"|EXT="RMVB"|EXT="WMV"|EXT="AVI"|EXT="MPG"|EXT="MPEG"|EXT="MOV"|EXT="MP4"|EXT="MKV"|EXT="WebM"

3. Remember the number used at the line's beginning; it's 38 in my example above.
4. Look for a line contaning <remembered_number>_detect (38_detect in my example) and add the following to the end of it:

   Code: Select all

   | EXT="M4A"

   The full line now looks like this:

   Code: Select all

   38_detect=EXT="AIF"|EXT="AU"|EXT="SND"|EXT="MID"|EXT="RMI"|EXT="MED"|EXT="MP3"|EXT="RA"|EXT="WAV"|EXT="VQF"|EXT="AAC"|EXT="APE"|EXT="FLAC"|EXT="MP4A"|EXT="CDA"|EXT="RM"|EXT="RMVB"|EXT="WMV"|EXT="AVI"|EXT="MPG"|EXT="MPEG"|EXT="MOV"|EXT="MP4"|EXT="MKV"|EXT="WebM"|EXT="M4A"

5. Save the wincmd.ini in Notepad.
6. Restart TC or open a new instance and it should work.

All of this would be much easier if TC had a proper Plugins Manager ...

Using the popular TC Plugin Manager, it is very easy
I never do anything with the native TC functions.
