Detecting 3D Movies

[bandit]

Is it possible to detect 3D encoded movies from the meta data?

(I tried to search the forums for other topics about this, but "3D" isn't a valid search term...)

Thanks!

What video format were you thinking of?
No doubt somewhere in the metadata of any video format that supports 3D there would be some way of detecting it, but I've not seen any sample 3D movie video files, nor looked for any documentation on it. If you can provide a link to a small sample file I can possibly think about adding support in the future.

But right now, no, there is no detection of 3D movies in getID3().

Suppose we can work with matroska format now: http://www.matroska.org/technical/specs/notes.html#3D
But of course only the spec is not enough - we need sample files. I'll try to find any matroska files with StereoMode element, but if somebody already has ones - please, let us know.

I have some sample files with 3D video and working on imlementing it now. Most likely 3D detecting support will be included in 1.9.4. But unfortunatelly, as I've mensioned, not all 3D videos can be identified as 3D, because they do not have proper flags set, just the 3D video stream.

Hi, guys


Is there any website has a list of 3D movies?

Not that that has much to do with detecting 3D encoding.

Does anyone know what new features of fixes the 1.9.4 version will provide?

Currently it's not much more than fixes for these issues:

Bugfix: (#1315) BMP detection was broken
Bugfix: (#1309) ID3v2.2 content_group_description (TT2) did not copy to same place as ID3v2.3/ID3v2.4 (TIT2)
Bugfix: (#1308) [playtime_string] could show hh:mm:60
Bugfix: (#1306) extension.cache.mysql.php keyword TYPE->ENGINE
Bugfix: (#1275) MD5/SHA1 data hashes not working properly under Windows

That's not correct :)

I've done significant improvements in matroska, riff and flac modules. All major existing problems in theese modules are also fixed. I just need to do some more testing, but unfortunatelly had no free time for that in the past time. I'll try to finish within two weeks!

Good to hear, I look forward to your new modules when they're ready.

Thanks James for the timely response. And thank you Soulhunter for all your work.
