Video File Properties

[xulgar]

I have decided to try the new Kubuntu Jaunty beta, and I am very impressed. I was wondering is there a way to have the file properties in KDE 4.2 show the duration of video files like in Gnome, Or is that just something that is only specific to Nautilus?

Hmm - i don't have Gnome/Nautilus so i can't say how it is done.


The KDE 3.5 is showing file info and some of the meta info (resolution, frame rate, video&audio codecs)

The KDE 4.2 is showing only the file info. Maybe with the KDE 4.3. The KDE 4.3 plans > 4.3 Feature Plan is showing:

...
Use Nepomuk to receive the meta data for the Information panel
...
Show tooltips with large previews and file metadata when hovering icons
...

With the KDE 4.2 you could use the service menus to retrieve media info > Topic: Mediainfo application on Linux



Media info service menu can show the info as a text or a html page.

This is exactly what I'm looking for but I can't seem to get this to work, the references are at least 1 year old. However the mediainfo is very new on sourceforge, but it seems to contain different files from what is stated on the linked post.

I'm using with the Jaunty - mediainfo as text:

/usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/mediainfo.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Service
ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin
MimeType=audio/*;video/*;application/vnd.rn-realmedia;
Actions=mediainfo
Encoding=UTF-8

[Desktop Action mediainfo]
Type=Application
Name=MediaInfo
Icon=applications-multimedia
Exec=mediainfoservice.sh "%u"

and

/usr/local/bin/mediainfoservice.sh

#!/bin/sh

# Extracting mediainfo to the temporary hidden text file
mediainfo "$1" --LogFile=.mediainfotemp.txt

# Show mediainfo
kdialog --textbox .mediainfotemp.txt 640 480

# Remove temporary text file
rm -f .mediainfotemp.txt

Those files and some others can be found as .deb's from > Package name contains: mediainfo
