WebM files contain no metadata

[qxx]

This is isn't an issue with the voidtools software hence I'm posting in the off topic discussion but here's my issue: I'm having an issue with WebM files on Windows and I'm hoping someone here might have some insights. When I right-click on a WebM file and go to Properties, there's no detailed information available. Unlike other video formats like MP4 or AVI, I don't see codec information, duration, frame rate, height, width or other metadata. This makes many of the property search features useless. Any fix for this?

Thanks

Windows itself does not know how to read the file properties of WEBM files (apparently; no WEBM files on this system). A shell extension is needed to add this.
Icaros is one of the programs that can provide this (and lots of other features).

I expect that after installation (and maybe a reboot) these properties are available in Everything too.

What OS?

Does Windows Explorer show any metadata for said files?


On my end, Win7, W/E does not show any metadata for .webm.

Though at the same time, Everything does display Length: for said files.
(Unsure of other metadata Properties?)


Results may also depend on particular codecs used in particular files.

I have 2 .webm that look to be somewhat "broken", & they do not display Length:.
If I (use ffmpeg to) "copy" said files, the copied files then do show Length.


CCOPY.bat:

Code: Select all

@echo off
:: ccopy
:: SjB 04-30-2022
:: does a ffmpeg -c copy, on a set of files

set /p MASK=Enter file mask to -c copy: 
echo About to work on:
dir /b %mask%*
pause

for %%i in (%mask%*) do echo About to work on: %%i
pause
:: exit

for %%i in (%mask%*) do ffmpeg -i "%%i" -c copy out."%%i" && echo out.%%i && pause
pause

(In addition to Icaros, I believe Void added some specific code to deal with at least certain Properties of certain media types [that were not generally, not supported at the OS level].)

Activating properties on Icaros fixed this.

Thank you bros
