Is there anyone still interested in this tool? I'm only asking because I made some improvements to it, like multiple audio / video tracks support for all fields and some bugfixing.
I've done this for my private use but maybe someone would still benefit from this. Actually releasing it is another matter though, as it is largely undocumented and untested: I've used this for thousands of my video files - but all similarly encoded.
I'm totally interested! I use this every day. It's a huge time saver. Thanks for the update, I can't wait to check it out.
Great then! First, the changelog commences:
ME Duration (Combined) to properly detect duration differences between all of the tracks; it was necessary anyway for multiple tracks support but it was previously broken and not always reporting problems properlyMExt Update Metadata button, unsupported file extensions are skipped during columns generation - this is somewhat faster and also disk access is lessened (for example, I usually have subtitles as separate files alongside the videos and scanning these is pointless); the list of supported extensions is given verbatim inside CuMediaExtenders.js:2905 variable supported_extensions, so can be modified easily in case I missed some filetypes (all extensions must be in uppercase and starting with a dot)mkvpropedit.exe with --add-track-statistic-tags on all the mkv / mka files; as a convenience I've added a function that will do that for every mkv/mka file during the metadata updates while also preserving the original modtimes - for it to work one must uncomment the call to MKVPropEdit function in CuMediaExtenders.js:3962 and also set a correct path to mkvpropedit.exe inside a string in line CuMediaExtenders.js:5058. It is needed only once per file and will also slow down the scanning process, so it is recommended to leave the call commented out when not neededI'm attaching the CuMediaExtenders.osp file, which is just a renamed .zip. The only file changed by me (inside it) is CuMediaExtenders.js.
I'll try to correct any bugs I've undoubtedly introduced 
but it seems something is off with this forum as I didn't receive the notification of someone answering in this thread, so expect some delays; sorry for that.
Other than that, good luck!

Due to how I was treated here (as a paying customer) I am leaving this forum indefinitely (along with DOpus as soon as I find a replacement) so if anyone wants to contact me / in case of any bugs - please write directly to ms-dopus >at< msys.info instead.
Cheers!
Here's the thread in question so people can judge for themselves:
bye bye, we won't be bored
Thank you so much for this script. Can Recorded Date and Encoded Date be added as columns?
Sorry for the super late reply; IRL stuff.
As Leo said, you unpack the osp and repack itYou can also put a file with the name CuMediaExtenders.json in script directory (type /dopusdata/Script Addins in location to go there). This is the one I'm using personally (see also the script settings UI - click the underlined script name - last section):
{
"colPrefix": ".",
"colRepl": {
"MExt_HasMetadata": "ADS?",
"MExt_CombinedDuration": "Duration",
"MExt_GrossByterate": "Byterate",
"MExt_MultiAudio": "Multi-Track",
"MExt_VARCombined": "AspectRatio",
"MExt_AudioChannels": "Channels",
"MExt_AudioCompressionMode": "ACompMode"
},
"colExtra": {
"com_apple_quicktime_model": "Camera Make",
"com_apple_quicktime_software": "Camera Software"
},
"colExtraVideo": {
"CodecConfigurationBox": "Codec Config Box"
},
"colExtraAudio": {
"Source_Delay": "Source Delay"
}
}
Note: this must be a proper JSON file, so there can be no trailing commas, comments, etc. Any decent editor would tell if it's valid JSON.
Hello there, since i upgraded to Windows 11 24H2, i'm getting this error with the tool, anyway to fix this please ? Thanks a lot ! just noticed that there is an update, i'll try it !

me too.
I hope someone will reply with a solution how to fix this !
how do i do this ?
Settings > File Types, then edit the thing you want to change and use the Info Tips and Tiles pages.
Finally, I found it is the regex strings in this code
var name_cleanup = function(){return{
"nameOnly": [
["/x264|x265|H264|H265|DX50|DivX5|DivX4|DivX|XviD|VP9|VP6F|FLV1|HEVC|MPEG4|MP4V|MP42/ig", ""],
["/AAC|AC3|DTS|MP3|OGG/ig", ""],
["/240p|320p|360p|480p|540p|640p|720p|960p|1080p|1440p|2160p|4K|UHD/ig", ""],
["/(_|\.)/g", " " ],
["/(\d+).+$/g", "$1" ],
["/\s+/g", " " ],
["/-\s*-/g", "-" ]
],
"extOnly": [
]
}
Solved it
var name_cleanup = function(){return{
"nameOnly": [
["/x264|x265|H264|H265|DX50|DivX5|DivX4|DivX|XviD|VP9|VP6F|FLV1|HEVC|MPEG4|MP4V|MP42/ig", ""],
["/AAC|AC3|DTS|MP3|OGG/ig", ""],
["/240p|320p|360p|480p|540p|640p|720p|960p|1080p|1440p|2160p|4K|UHD/ig", ""],
["/(_|\\.)/g", " " ],
["/(\\d+).+$/g", "$1" ],
["/\\s+/g", " " ],
["/-\\s*-/g", "-" ]
],
"extOnly": [
]
}
add code to remove the comment line.
String.prototype.removecommentline = function () {
return this.replace(/^\s*\/\/.*$/mg, '');
};
JSON.stringify(JSON.parse(lookup_resolutions.removecommentline())); // test parseability on script load, do not remove
config.addString('ref_lookup_resolutions', lookup_resolutions.normalizeLeadingWhiteSpace(), 'REF_LOOKUP_RESOLUTIONS');
config.addPOJO('lookup_resolutions', JSON.parse(lookup_resolutions.removecommentline()), 'LOOKUP_RESOLUTIONS');
This is the new fixed script (include Chinese field json / 已包含中文字段翻译json)

This may be exactly what I'm looking for! I haven't completely read through everything, but great thinking!
