How to Add a "Resolution" Column, when Viewing a Videos folder?

Hi all
I navigated to a folder that contains *.mp4 files,
and would now like to add a "Resolution" Column,
so that I can see the Resolution of each video file, in the file list columns..
Can that be done?
When I RightClick an empty part of the Column Header row,
I see various options that I can choose for a Column type, but not Resolution..
Thank you

Use a scripted custom column?
Code: Select all
return property("System.Video.FrameWidth", <cc_item>) . "x" . property("System.Video.FrameHeight", <cc_item>);

Thank you very much highend
I tried it now,
but the result that I get, for all *.mp4 files, is simply "x" in each..
I entered it like this:
Anything I might've done wrong, and should change?

Either install the basic k-lite codec package or use mediainfo...
Code: Select all
$mediaInfo = "<your path to the .exe>\MediaInfo.exe";
return regexreplace(runret("$mediaInfo --Inform=Video;%Width%x%Height% ""<cc_item>"""), "\r?\n");
Or tag them once and show the tag column...

I see.
Thank you.
BTW, Is that because I am on Windows XP?
On Windows 10 for example it would work with System.Video.FrameWidth and .FrameHeight?

Your OS is missing the codecs to show that info, hence I suggested to install the k-lite package (v13.8.5 is the latest that still works on XP)

I understand.
Thank you.
BTW, If I can recommend the creator of XYplorer, to consider adding some Video related column types,
it would be great.
It seems that there is a very good support for Images, and for Audio,
adding Video too would be really useful.

Too codec dependent.
