Add the info to Information Panel, please

Can't seem to get it to work on Plasma 5.12.5. Using Dolphin 17.12.3. I have mediainfo dowloaded and the context menu entries are listed in 'services' in the settings menu. But when I right click an mp3 file, the entries aren't there.

Found out that it was a bug with file indexing. After disabling it the entries pop up. However now when I click on 'get media info' or 'short media' the window never appears and only an icon appears in the task manager for a moment, then disappears.

This plugin is broken, I will reach out to the KDE admins to exclude this entry from the dolphin service download dialog.

How bout you add image/* in ServiceTypes and instead of -title "Info about %u" you could have -title "Info about `basename %u`" so as to not show the whole path in the title.

May be use "--inform=" option is better?

kdekda

on my system (chakra linux) the --Inform parameter doesn't work.. mediainfo --Inform=Video;%duration% myvideo.mkv output: bash: fg: %Duration%: no such job Am i wrong?

unikum111

mediainfo --Inform=General\;%Duration% file.mkv or mediainfo --Inform="General;%Duration%" file.mkv

kdekda

thank you! now it works! this WE i'll take a look to your suggestion!

kdekda

ok, after a few tests i decided to not use --Inform. It needs an extra file as a template, but since i want to keep this servicemenu as simple as possible i'm not going to implement it. The main reason is that i want to make this servicemenu installable from dolphin: if you know a way for it please tell me.

Thanks ! There is just a mistake in the HTML output, as it creates a file with ".txt" extension. One just needs to change "-LogFile=%u.txt" into "-LogFile=%u.html", in the "[Desktop Action getHTML]" section.

kdekda

thank you! i've missed the notification of your comment

Following the link shows me only an older version without the export items

TimeManx

yup

kdekda

sorry..updated!

TimeManx

I've created a simple bash script which fixes the alignment. If someone wants to try it out drop me a message.

kalganov

the easy way: $(mediainfo --Output=HTML %u)

kdekda

# kalganov your suggestion will be added as soon as possibile!

Good idea and very useful.

For newbies (like me) copy the file within: ~/.kde/share/kde4/services/ Thanks for your work.

jmunin

and for all users (not only the current user) copy the file within: /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/ My system is Kubuntu 11.04 (could be different in others)
