Vero 4K KODI not passing (some) HDR metadata

Ok, it could use some cleanup, but it does work:

Thank you. Would you mind explaining how to run it? I still seem to get an error, whether putting the .py file in the folder with a movie, or in the root directory of my folders/files.

You are trying to run it using python2. Try python3 instead.

I don’t know how to on a Mac, but make mediareport.py executable, and you should be able to just

$ ./mediareport.py

I assume you can just do:

$ chmod +x mediareport.py

to make it executable.

WilliamG · 5 October 2018 05:22

Thank you. I installed Python3, made mediareport.py executable, and got this…

Mac-mini:Avengers Infinity War (2018) UHD htmac$ ./mediareport.py

bmillham · 5 October 2018 05:24

Do you have mediainfo installed?

WilliamG · 5 October 2018 05:28

Yessir I do. Version 18.08.1.

bmillham · 5 October 2018 05:32

Can you try to manually run this then:

$ mediainfo --Output=XML Avengers.Infinity.War.MKV

WilliamG · 5 October 2018 05:33

I get a command not found.

-bash: mediainfo: command not found

bmillham · 5 October 2018 05:34

Well, that tells me that you don’t have mediainfo installed.

WilliamG · 5 October 2018 05:34

lol I definitely do. I use it all the time!

bmillham · 5 October 2018 05:34

If you run:

$ mediainfo

and get ‘Not Found’ you don’t have it installed!

WilliamG · 5 October 2018 05:35

Sigh.

I don’t know what to tell you. Maybe it’s because I’m on a Mac and you aren’t taking that into account? I’ve used Mediainfo for YEARS.

bmillham · 5 October 2018 05:38

And just how do you use it, if you can’t type:

$ mediainfo file.mkv

at a command prompt.

WilliamG · 5 October 2018 05:39

I have a GUI? I double click the GUI app and pick the file using the GUI. Maybe this is where we’re at odds.

I’m guessing maybe there’s a command-line version…

bmillham · 5 October 2018 05:41

@mellon wrote the script that I modified, and he has a Mac and it worked, so I guess you need ot find out from him how to get mediainfo installed to run from a command line.

WilliamG · 5 October 2018 05:44

I got it. I had to install the CLI version, not just have the GUI version. Working like a charm. Thanks

mellon · 5 October 2018 05:55

It runs fine on my machine. Nice improvements @bmillham ! Much more adaptable now. I didn’t bother to invest the time, because I intended to use the script only once.

bmillham · 5 October 2018 13:38

@mellon, I originally was going to just make a few changes to get it working with XML, but as you noticed I kinda went overboard Thank you for the original script.

Has there been any progress in implementing max fall / cll data output?

Not just yet.
