How to See The Metadata of Videos in the Viewer

Post by ShadowIX »

Hi everyone, I got an issue with XnViewMP, and I'm not sure if this the right place to ask but when I use the Viewer to browse through images, I can tag using a shortcut then see the color labels, the rating, and the information of that image in the Viewer, but when its a video, I can no longer see it.

Here the Screenshots of the Viewer for the Images

And the Viewer for the Videos with the Info missing and the color label

Thanks for any help.

By the way, I do not Import or Export the Metadata into XnViewMP or use embedded Metadata, I simply use the local database catalog of the XnViewMP to sort and cull files using label colors, and they do get stored and shown in the browser with the small icons for videos and images, but not in the Viewer

But its kinda is, the video can get tagged using the color labels and the rating, its just a matter of displaying the info inside the viewer, since its already displayed in the browser.

Maybe the Info panel to the left can't show special metadata for videos, but can it at least support the Technical Metadata, like size, resolution, file name, ect..., while if it encounters a placeholder for something it can't support, it leaves it blank.

And i think the color labels, and the rating should be shown in the right side with no problem.
