CMD line detailing Codec info?

[ssmacc]

Hello All,

I've just got a Dolby Atmos receiver, problem is I can't easily identify the films I have with Atmos sound tracks, apparently I can run a command prompt that will detail this? Trouble is I have no idea how to do it! Can anyone help me out?

I've got a file with a few hundred films in, really want to avoid searching individually.

Cheers

Thanks for the tip, but I'm struggling with this...

How can it be this hard to output metadata information for all videos in a folder.

Can anyone walk me through it?

Cheers

The command line is derived from very old DOS prompt commands from a time waaay before metadata was really a thing to be concerned about for average uses. The dir command just isn't equipped to burrow into file data like that. Hence the more complex powershell commands and syntax being developed to handle more complex calls.

Other alternative is to use a media browser program where you can select the columns of data to include the audio codec, and in that view sort by it.

Hi,

Thanks for the info, can you recommend a media browser program or let me know the code I'd need for power-shell?

As ever any advice appreciated.
