Inconsistent {hdr} output (not detecting DV)

[flammabled]

Hi,

I'm looking to rename my current library to include more info about the files in the filename. I'm using the following format:

Format: Select all

{ plex.id % { none{ edition.match(/Theatrical|Remastered/) } ? " {edition-$edition}" : null } % {allOf{vf}{vs}{hdr}{ original.matchAll(/PROPER|REMUX|REPACK/) }{group}.joining(' ', ' [', ']')} }

However I'm finding that when I run this on my Synology NAS using Filebot Node, none of my DV files are detected as such, just as "HDR10". I was trying to determine why, so tried installing the community MediaInfo, which didn't help. I then copied a test file to my desktop, where I used the Filebot GUI format editor, where I found that the format worked as I expected.

NAS:

Code: Select all

American Pie (1999) {edition-Unrated} [2160p BluRay HDR10 REMUX FraMeSToR].mkv

Desktop:

Code: Select all

American Pie (1999) {edition-Unrated} [2160p DV+HDR10].mkv

I found that both are running the same version of MediaInfoLib, v21.09, and Filebot, 5.2.0 (r10714), and both seem to output the exact same mediainfo. Any idea why there might be a discrepancy between the two? The only difference I know is that the value of `original` didn't seem to make it across to my desktop, but that only explains the absence of "BluRay", "REMUX" and release group on the desktop. As I understand from the docs, {hdr} is not sourced from the filename.

Here is the output of the same command from the NAS and Desktop, plus the output of sysinfo

Thank you!

What does the MediaInfo table say for the file at hand?

Please use the libmediainfo version used by filebot. You can print the MediaInfo table from FileBot Node via Tools ➔ MediaInfo.





The {hdr} binding hinges entirely on the HDR_* properties from the mediainfo table, e.g. DV+HDR10:

Properties: Select all

HDR_Format                       : Dolby Vision / SMPTE ST 2086
HDR_Format_Commercial            : HDR10 / HDR10
HDR_Format_Compatibility         : HDR10 / HDR10

EDIT

If the libmediainfo build you have available is too old for DV properties - DV is a fairly recent thing after all - then you may need to resort to docker containers to run the latest FileBot / FileBot Node build with the latest libmediainfo build. You may also ask the SynoCommunity maintainers to build and release a newer version of their libmediainfo package.

The full file is too long to post, but the relevant part from Filebot Node's Tools->MediaInfo:

As mentioned, the MediaInfo output was the same for both Filebot Node (where it doesn't work) and Filebot on my Desktop (where it does).

{hdr} should return DV+HDR10 based on the MediaInfo properties above. We could try to trace the issue by running our own Groovy code to come up with the same value to trace where things go awry. You'd have to login via SSH and run commands though.


What does the output say if you run this command on one of these DV files?

Shell: Select all

filebot -mediainfo /path/to/input --format "{f.name} | {hdr} | {video.HDR_Format} | {video.HDR_Format_Commercial} | {video.HDR_Format_Compatibility} | { video.HDR_Format =~ /Dolby Vision/ ? video.HDR_Format_Compatibility =~ /HDR10/ ? 'DV+HDR10' : 'DV' : 'NO-DV' } | {video.BitDepth} | {video.colour_primaries}"

Curiously, does seem to work from the command line:

I also ran sysinfo just to make sure it was the same as from Filebot Node, and it does appear so, aside from the user info:

I reran the test in Filebot Node and still get

Code: Select all

American Pie (1999) {edition-Unrated} [2160p BluRay HDR10 REMUX FraMeSToR].mkv

, however if I run the exact command at the top of the Node run via ssh, I get the expected return of

What happens if you do Clear Cache once from the FileBot Node menu? (i.e. run filebot -clear-cache as the FileBot Node internal user)

Aha, that seems to have done the job, I am now getting the expected {hdr} output from Node! Thank you!

I see. That does explain things. Any upgrade / downgrade will clear all caches. But if you upgrade FileBot to r10714 first, then process files with older libmediainfo, then upgrade to newer libmediainfo independently of FileBot, then FileBot will be using outdated mediainfo tables from cache.

EDIT

libmediainfo has been updated as well: [Package Update] MediaInfo · Issue #6734 · SynoCommunity/spksrc · GitHub
