3.1 has a dark UI and a word wrap settings. It requires .NET Core 3.0 being installed.

very nice, that was kinda quick.
Thank you very much for the "Dark Skin" support... Its very comfortable to read now.

At first i didnt get it to run, but was shure i did install the .NET Core Runtimes..
After some searching i learned that you need to install:

Quote:
Run desktop apps
Want to run an app that uses .NET Core on your Windows computer? Install both the .NET Core Runtime and the .NET Core Desktop Runtime.
After i installed both runtimes it started and worked.
Just thought i mention it if someone else has Problems starting it.


Ok, now a BUG i encountered..
MediaInfo.NET does not start in the correct Window size.
I think its best to show you.



I have no clue whats going on there.. It doesnt save the window size?
I did delete everything before using the new Version.
Using Win7 64bit..


Best Regards, Beta

The window size value is ten times more in the new version because of the new UI toolkit. Try this:

font = Consolas
font-size = 13
window-width = 700
window-height = 550
center-screen = yes
raw-view = yes
word-wrap = no

Windows 10 users can install Windows Terminal Preview which installs the new font Cascadia Code, looks like this:

You are right
Thanks, it looks like its using pixel as width and height now..

It works now with the selected size.


Strangely i do not have those settings:

Quote:
center-screen = yes
word-wrap = no
But indeed i really like a "Word wrap" since that was one of teh First things that came to my mind when opening an Media with it..
This isnt a Limitation to Windows 7, is it?

Anyway, Thanks a million, with or without Word wrap, this is now my new MediaInfo Tool...

Cheers

New in v4.0 is:

- search highlighting
- summary shown
- left column is wider
- few other minor tweaks

Fun fact:

staxrip was the first dotnet app announced 2002 at doom9.

MediaInfo.NET is the first dotnet core app announced at doom9 I believe.

Thank you for the positive feedback. What you see in the settings dialog is the plain text content of the settings file which is created when it's missing, because the file was created with an old version settings added by newer versions don't show. I added the defaults on the web site:

https://github.com/stax76/MediaInfo.NET#defaults

Ideally there would be a real settings dialog with check boxes etc., problem is I don't have great experience with the UI framework, so it would take more time to build, I should probably create this dialog, maybe in the next release.

some info on dotnet:

Quote:
The next release after .NET Core 3.0 will be .NET 5. The .NET Framework will be deprecated, and .NET 5 will be the only .NET going forward – hence the removal of the "Core" branding and skipping of version 4 to avoid confusion with the .NET Framework 4.x.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Core

Quote from Scott Hunter, Director Program Management, .NET

Quote:
New applications should be built on .NET Core. .NET Core is where future investments in .NET will happen. Existing applications are safe to remain on .NET Framework which will be supported. Existing applications that want to take advantage of the new features in .NET should consider moving to .NET Core. As we plan into the future, we will be bringing in even more capabilities to the platform. You can read about our plans here.
staxrip should stay on .net framework as there is a risk with the form designer not working properly on .net core and there is also a risk with win 7 compatibility being worse on .net core.

mpv.net will likely be ported but maybe not so soon.

4.1

- encoder parameters have a nice presentation
- if the text has focus the caret is visible and key scrolling works

Any plans on making it also available via https://chocolatey.org/packages? (it is a package manager for windows)
If not I can do it and maintaining it on chocolatey if you're cool with it.

Yes I'm cool with it, thank you.

I had a feature requests for mpv.net and chocolatey but found it difficult to understand but meanwhile my powershell knowledge has significantly improved, maybe now I'm ready for it.

I realized the app has grown enough to clean up the code and add everything missing of what a solid app is supposed to have, working on a new version right now.

Hello Frank.

Just tried your utils today (MediaInfo.NET, ShellNew and Open++)

Having the "original" MediaInfo GUI registered in Windows File Explorer showing with a right click on a media file, your MediaInfo GUI doesn't show up with a right click on a media file, even after installing it from inside the app.
Only the original MediaInfo is present in right click context menu on a media file.

It seems that your MediaInfo GUI can only be registered for the unregistered extensions by any Media Player - I mean the "orphan" media extensions - while the original MediaInfo is always present, if you set it in its preferences.

BTW, have you found out a way to register all of the extensions supported by an app (e.g Chrome) with a single click and not one by one using Windows 10 (latest versions) ?

That would be a very useful util!

Also, for both your .NET Core apps (ShellNew and MediaInfo.NET) it would be useful a pop up message warning the user that both .NET Core v3.0 runtime and .NET Core v3.0 Desktop runtime must be installed, ideally with a direct hyperlink to download the installers

Or you can put the links in a ReadMe.txt file.

Because now it seems that they are simply not working.

Just my two cents...

Hello Nikos,

I got both, the extension based menu of the original app and the registry based menu of my app and both work, there is not much I can do other than suggesting to use Open with++.

I don't understand what you mean with that.

Showing a message or executing any code is not possible without the Core runtime, I've put a link on the main web page, the release page and have added a readme file.

I didn't use Open ++, I just did a right click on a video file after installing your app and I got only original MediaInfo option.

There are many apps like MPC-HC that support dozens of different types of files and can register themselves as the default app for all those file types (file extensions e.g .mp4 .mkv .ts .aac etc)
Last few versions of Win10 do not allow you to set MPC-HC as the default app for all those supported extensions by MPC-HC with just a single click.
Win10 allow you to set and register one by one the extensions supported by the app as the default program to open those extensions.

It's known that Windows 10 has some protection, I can only tell you what mpv.net does, it uses the traditional keys with some new keys I found in the rusty mpv bat file, also some users gave me some hints which keys I was missing.

https://github.com/stax76/mpv.net/bl...sc/Misc.cs#L61

https://github.com/stax76/MediaInfo....Program.cs#L60

Setup can be found in the mpv.net menu at : Tools > OS Setup

It features:

video file types registration
audio file types registration
image file types registration

and it has a button to bring you to the default apps dialog, that buttons calls the shell address:

ms-settings:defaultapps

Codec Tweak Tool could do that, but nowadays MS ceased the old control panel functionality of default apps and the new default apps functionality can't register all file types supported by the app at once.
I hoped you could do some magic and bring the old functionality to new Win10
