When selecting View Columns by Movies by Video Codec the result is a blank column. Could this be reviewed and fixed. I'd like to check if the codec is 264 or 265 etc

The built-in video codec column only works for a small number of formats at the moment (e.g. AVI). We'll be improving that in the future.

For now, you can have columns which import the data from other places into Opus.

- [MediaInfo-based extended columns & commands v0.9, released on GitHub](https://resource.dopus.com/t/mediainfo-based-extended-columns-commands-v0-9-released-on-github/37525)

- [ExifTool Custom Columns](https://resource.dopus.com/t/exiftool-custom-columns/38975)

- [Icaros video information columns](https://resource.dopus.com/t/icaros-video-information-columns/32513)

- [Video length, dimensions, framerate, definition columns](https://resource.dopus.com/t/video-length-dimensions-framerate-definition-columns/28147)

As I mentioned, the built-in column will handle this without anything extra in the future.

Thanks Leo. Appreciate your answer. Looking forward to this feature working natively.
