Will the plugin be updated to allow the new versions of mediainfo w/o the override? I know there were a couple versions that had issues but I haven't seen any problems with the changed metadata using 22.12 version.

MediaInfo isnt version managed in the plugin its its only mkvtoolnix that is has a version check, because that is the culprit for the issues as it writes the title to the header. MediaInfo is only used to read and interrogate the media files.

Hi Dave - @Cheesegeezer while I remember the files - these are two examples of 4K HDR that does not have the HDR Description in a mediaInfo scan.

As you can see - this is HDR, but the Plugin doesn't label it as such as it's missing the 'HDR format' field.

My thoughts are to start with the 'colour_primaries' field (if BT.2020 then HDR) - and then update it again from there with the normal HDR description fields to add the detail.

Happy to have a bash at coding this update myself if you are ok with it ?....

Damn - I must have used an older version (1.0.1.15) as emby just updated it again to 1.0.1.20 ..

Is that the latest version on your private repo on Github ? - last update was over 4 Month ago - so I don;t think it's the latest ?

Thanks Dave.

Nice work Rich, did you compile and run a test? If it works, up the rev and I’ll update the master and post to catalog tomorrow

Oh shoot, I’m tied up and been lazy with github pushes. I’ll get latest to git tomorrow pal

It compiled ok - but it's on the old version 1.15 - and it's missing the 'per library' settings you added.

If you can update your github with the 1.20 - then I'll re-add and test ..

Thanks !

Hi, in case of an update...its possible to add mkvpropedit v72.x/v73.x to the whitelist in this version?

I still dont had any issue with this version of mkvpropedit...

Thanks

It's probably better if we just blacklist the one that caused issues - thoughts ?

yeah thats all v71.x versions...

Rich, i just pushed 1.0.1.22 to Github.  i will need to update the catalogue but if you want to implement and test those changes we were on about yesterday.

I created a worker branch for you

 

And in VS just click on the repo (bottom right) and you will have to go to remotes and select yours.  Then you can push changes to your branch, and then create a pull request. I will merge yours to the master, if all looks good.

But what if they release a version that breaks media again (i'm sure they had no intentions to do that in 71 but a few folk had media destroyed and was unrecoverable)

it's a pain in the ass... i know!!! and all we are doing is writing a header, not even remuxing or anything like that, but not everyone is savvy enough to test first.

Fair point - I guess we need to play safe and rather it not work than potentially destroy the MKV's due to something outside of our control  ...

Should this plugin works also for mp4 files?

I might be mistaken but mkvtoolnix does work with mkv only.

[Cheesegeezer 3095]

No… mp4’s require remux via ffmpeg and can’t write just to headers, so decision was made to leave them out the mix, it opens possibilities of file corruption.

correct ma man!!

[rbjtech 4683]

Cheese and I spend a bit of time investigating the use of MP4's - but in short, they are nowhere near as flexible as MKV's and while 'some' aspects of MP4's can be header modified, track titles (what we want) cannot.   Thus MKV's only.

Hello Everyone,

I need some help.My server is on Synology. I install MediaInfo and MKVToolNix packages.

But I don't knaow what I have to set in this option

- MediaInfoCLI File Path

- MKVPropEdit File Path

: 

Who can help me ? I don't see it in the wiki Various OS Installation Help · Cheesegeezer/MediaInfoWiki Wiki · GitHub

Thanks

Edited March 5, 2023 by MAX92

Synology is included in the wiki. @FrostByte wrote it. 
 

but you just need to select the mediainfo and mkvtoolnix files you downloaded in the relevant fields. Click on the search icon and it will give you a filepicker

[Eigeplackter 76]

Under synology you need to connect to it via ssh and the plugins folder is located under:

/var/packages/EmbyServer/var/plugins

 

You need to copy the dll to that directory and restart your emby server

What will actually become of MediaInfo for Emby when Dolby Vision info is integrated in the new server version 4.8?

Because I think it's cool if I can see in advance that the faulty DV5 has been loaded, then I can correct it in advance.
