Sure, I use plugin MediaInfoWDX with a user defined column:
[=mediainfowdx.Width_Video" x "][=mediainfowdx.Height_Video]

Thank you for your answer
I have installed and added the columns, but unfortunately it does not display the resolution.
Where maybe I am making a mistake?

Not a big problem, the MKV is just not in the extension list.

Open your wincmd.ini and find the section [ContentPlugins]
There you have a line with the MediaInfoWDX plugin settings like:
22=%COMMANDER_PATH%\plugins\wdx\MediaInfoWDX\MediaInfoWDX.wdx

The number may differ though.

Look for the detect line with the same number like
22_detect="EXT="AIF"|EXT="AU" ...

Just add MKV to the list like
22_detect="EXT="MKV"|EXT="AIF"|EXT="AU" ...

Save the file and restart TC to reload the new settings.

Hello

I put .mkv (photo) extension but nothing helped. Anyway, this extension has already been entered.
Attached is a photo of the message that appears when Totalcmd is started.

The error blames the entry near AIF which must read:
3_detect="EXT="MKV"|EXT="AIF"

You had an additional doublequote at "EXT="AIF"

On the other hand is MKV a container format only which can hold different kind of codecs.

I would advise to use "MediaInfo 21.10" istead of mediainfowdx. It is up to date, using mediainfo.dll (you can update yourself when new version is out).

It is working out of the box when installed with all mp4,mkv,avi,.... and also pictures with same width and height attribute.

Code: Select all

[=mediainfo.width"  x "][=mediainfo.height]

Thank you,
I corrected the mistake.
The message does not appear anymore, but there is still no resolution information.

And how to run it in totalcmd so that the resolution is displayed in one of the columns?

It is really very easy.
  • Then you have to trigger the supported Formats with the Plugin in TCMD

Code: Select all

[ContentPlugins]
0=%COMMANDER_PATH%\plugins\wdx\mediainfo\mediainfo.wdx
0_detect=EXT="MKV" | EXT="MPEG" | EXT="MP4" | EXT="MP3" | EXT="AAC" | EXT="FLAC" | EXT="MOV"
