Bug ID: 518165
Summary: [Feature Request] Dedicated Media Information / File
Properties Dialog
Classification: Applications
Product: Haruna
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: CachyOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Add a dedicated "Media Information" or "File Properties" dialog/tab to Haruna.
Currently, Haruna lacks a user-friendly, GUI-based way to view comprehensive
technical metadata (codecs, bitrates, resolution, stream details) within the
interface. While mpv offers an OSD statistics overlay (via keyboard shortcuts),
many users expect a standard, readable "Codec Information" window similar to
other modern media players like VLC or MPC-HC.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Haruna Video Player.
2. Load any media file.
3. Search through the "View" menu, Hamburger menu, or Right-click context menu
for a "Media Info," "Properties," or "Codec Information" option.
OBSERVED RESULT
There is no dedicated menu item, dialog, or sidebar section that displays
comprehensive file properties. Technical information accessible via keyboard
shortcuts (like i or Shift+I) as a temporary overlay is not intuitive for
GUI-centric users and cannot be easily navigated or copied.
EXPECTED RESULT
A dedicated UI element (either a dialog window triggered by Ctrl+I or an
enhanced Sidebar tab) that displays:
* General: File name, absolute path, file size, and container format.
* Video: Codec (e.g., H.264, HEVC, AV1), resolution, aspect ratio, frame rate
(FPS), and bitrate.
* Audio: Codec (e.g., AAC, FLAC, Opus), sample rate, number of channels, and
bitrate.
* Metadata: Embedded tags such as Title, Artist, or Album info.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
* Operating System: CachyOS Linux
* KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.3
* KDE Frameworks Version: 6.24.0
* Qt Version: 6.10.2
* Kernel Version: 6.19.10-1-cachyos (64-bit)
* Graphics Platform: Wayland
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Since Haruna is built on libmpv, this technical data is already accessible
through mpv properties (e.g., video-codec, audio-bitrate, width/height).
Implementing a Kirigami-based UI to format and display these properties would
significantly improve Haruna's usability for power users and those
transitioning from other media players.
