New updated Player screen doesn't show video file details such as Codec, Quality and audio

[nikhil96widhani]

Was really great to see the quality audio and other metadata because i could distinguish media of same movie on my player. I also used this metadata to understand why transcoding was happening for a specific media so i could re-encode it

Personally I liked it too, but you have to agree that for most non-tech people it was too much confusing clutter. I think an opt-in toggle in the settings menu (perhaps also hidden in the developer options, like the other file debug setting?) would be the best solution

Showing video information will be a thing again in the playback rewrite (see #1057).
