Show Video codec
« on: November 08, 2025, 23:24:20 »
Hi,

I search a way to display video codec with Multi Commander.
I found a topic with a hint to mediainfo dll

https://forum.multicommander.com/forum/index.php/topic,3631.msg10652.html

The documentation is rather inadequate and the frontend gui is awful, but for MC only the .dll is needed.

How can I add this plugin?

Thanks  :)

MC do not currently support getting metadata about codec from video files

If you can extract that information using MultiScript. (calling some external tool to get it or something)
Then you can create a scriptable file property and have it be shown in a column.
