File Manager that shows video file attributes

What File Manager shows the attributes of a video file that is the resolution and audio format the files have ? The File Manager Files used to do that but no longer does. Windows 10 will list the attributes of a video file.

Hi
You can use the Ubuntu MATE default file manager, caja to do that with the caja-mediainfo-tab extension.

To install it, in a terminal window:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:caldas-lopes/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y caja-mediainfo-tab

It will add a "Media Info" tab in the file properties with everything you need.
If I remember correctly, you have to log out of your session after install the first time and log back in in order to make it work.

Hi!

Is there somewhere an overview of Caja extensions? A quick google search didn’t bring up anything for me.

Thx

That is a good question. You can look in Synaptic Package Manager and search for Caja. Some of the extensions for Caja are listed, but I did not see caja-mediainfo-tab. A list of all of Caja available plugins would be useful.

altho you asked file manager.....you may not know that VLC gives you that info too?
