SMPlayer Support Forum

hi,

In the old locked forum, the the likelihood of a 3rd part library that could be added in order to display more enhanced file metadata e.g. id3 v2 tags in mp3 or FLAC tags.

I am also aware from previous discussion that mplayer is limited in native metadata reading/displaying (mplayer I was told only supports parsed audio/video infomation).

I am sure by now Mr developer that you have heard of MediaInfo project (and it's .dll )
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en

I have seen MediaInfo implemented usually as a tab in MPC and other MPC spin-offs like Splayer:

It would be really nice if MediaInfo library was included in SMPlayer as another sub-heading below the 'audio streams' sub-heaidng of "Information" window. It would be nice. I would like to see my audio tags of 'Composer', 'Comments' and 'Publisher' displayed. Also is very useful for some of my wmv videos that feature a lot of content metadata info such as 'Copyright' and 'Author'. I believe MediaInfo as a library supports all and many advanced tag/metadata formats out of the box.

Further trac requested here: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.p ... tid=913576

Please really consider this and I hope others agree, thank you

Would MediaInfo come to SMplayer?

It would have to work independently like how MPC does it (in other words not involved with the mplayer backend).

RVM, is support for the MediaInfo.dll doable or realistic for the near future?

It's not planned for now.

RVM, you seem against this on the sourceforge page when another user requested it

I hope your not against implementing it.

It could be an optional feature that could be enabled in the SM settings. Please

I'll have to take a look at that library first to know if that's possible.
