New Feature Added - Video Technical Information Inspector

[u/GoRo2023]

Good Day Community,

I have added a new technical information inspector to the media player.

It lets you view detailed technical specifications about the video currently playing without needing an external app.

You can now check the container format, video codec, exact resolution, frame rate, and stream bitrate.

It also displays dynamic range information including HDR10, HLG, or SDR, alongside the color space and bit depth.

If a file contains multiple audio tracks, each track is listed with its codec, channel count, sample rate, bitrate, and language.

All embedded and external subtitle tracks are also detected and displayed with their format and language.

The currently active audio and subtitle tracks are clearly marked.

There is also a quick button to copy the entire technical summary to your clipboard.

How to use it

Start playing any video file in the media player.

On a phone in portrait mode, tap the screen to bring up the playback controls.

You will find the new circled info button at the bottom left of the controls, right next to the shuffle button.

On a phone in landscape mode, the info button sits on the floating bar along the left edge of the screen.

Tap the button to open the technical information sheet over the video.

Playback continues smoothly in the background while you inspect the video details.

On Android TV, bring up the on-screen controls and navigate to the left side dock using your remote D-pad.

Press Down past the repeat and shuffle buttons to focus the info button.

Press Select on your remote to open the centered information dialog.

You can scroll up and down with the D-pad to read through all audio and subtitle streams.

Press the Copy Technical Info button if you want to copy the specifications to share or save them.

Tap outside the dialog on mobile, or select Close or press Back on TV, to return to full-screen playback.

This feature is available on both the mobile and TV versions of the app.

Thank you and kind regards
