Basic info of a video should include far more metadata

[RustoMCSpit]

If I right click on a video to see its properties, the basic info tab should include resolution, bit rate, bit depth, colour profile, and frame rate.

Basic set of metadata:

• Resolution
• Frame rate
• Codec
• Duration
• Bit rate
• Bit depth
• Colour profile

Advanced set of metadata:

• Codec + Profile/Level
• Encoding Library/Encoder
• Encoding Mode (CBR/VBR/CRF/etc.)
• Bitrate (Avg, Min, Max)
• Resolution
• Frame Rate + Frame Rate Mode (CFR/VFR)
• Scan Type (Progressive/Interlaced)
• GOP Structure / Keyframe Interval
• Pixel Format (e.g., yuv420p10le)
• Chroma Subsampling
• Color Primaries / Transfer / Matrix
• HDR Metadata (if applicable)
• Aspect Ratio / Pixel Aspect
• Color Space / Profile
• Duration
• Frame Count
• Container/CodecID

Camera info:

• Camera make
• Camera model
• Device serial or identifier
• GPS coordinates (if present)
• Recording date/time
• EXIF/XMP camera‑specific tags

You could also quantitative video comparison features if you wanted to go the extra mile:

Full-Reference (FR) Metrics
Numerical similarity: PSNR / SSIM
Visual differences: blend=difference (like in ffmpeg)
Exact per-frame identity: MD5 + diff
Perceptual quality score: ffmpeg with libvmaf (VMAF)
Frame difference heatmap: ffmpeg psnrdiff / custom diff maps
Motion/temporal artifacts: ffmpeg temporal_diff / optical flow

No-Reference (NR) Metrics
NIQE (Naturalness Image Quality Evaluator)
BRISQUE (Blind/Referenceless Image Spatial Quality Evaluator)
PIQE (Perception-based Image Quality Evaluator)
V-BLIINDS (Video BLIINDS)
NR-VQM (No-Reference Video Quality Metrics)
TLVQM (Two-Level Video Quality Model)
VSFA (Video Quality Assessment via Deep Learning)

I currently have to use ffprobe in the terminal to see more info about a video file. Thumbs up for this idea.

Nemo Media Tab works fine for that.

The software repository doesn't have it. Did you get it installed from Github ?
Edit, yes it's from Github but was last updated 2021. I found a similar one from another discussion, last updated in 2023.

Try this

• close nemo
• open terminal

cd /tmp
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/nemo-python/extensions
wget https://github.com/chocolateimage/nemo-mediainfo/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
unzip ./main.zip
cd ./nemo-mediainfo-main/nemo-mediainfo
cp ./nemo-mediainfo.py ~/.local/share/nemo-python/extensions

cd /tmp
rm ./main.zip
rm -r ./nemo-mediainfo-main

I've already installed it as a PPA from their github page.

I've already suggested that Nemo should pull a similar project: https://github.com/orgs/linuxmint/discussions/1357

It would make sense to already include something which provides more information about a file when installing Linux.
But it doesn't seem important at the moment to do that, so I've already added the ability from github.
