Hey,

as stated in the topic, VC1-Codec (wvc1) from (.mkv-)MediaInfo is written as "Microsoft" into the .nfo-file - leaving KODI without a clue what codec it really is although MediaInfo supplied clear information about it being vc-1.

Example VC-1:

Codec ID : V_MS/VFW/FOURCC / WVC1
Codec ID/Hint : Microsoft

TMM writes <codec>Microsoft</codec>
Should be
<codec>wvc1</codec> or <codec>vc-1</codec>


Example H264:
Codec ID : V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC
TMM writes <codec>h264</codec> (correct)



Thanks again!

please provide a full mediainfo dump for your test file

Here it is.
There is nothing special about this .mkv-file. Just a common file with wvc1 (vc-1) video track like it's used in some movies.
Thanks for looking into it.

[mlaggner]

could you try the latest nightly build from http://nightly.tinymediamanager.org ?
I hope this workaround works for your VC-1 files

[axbmcuser]

Just tested - works fine!

Now "<codec>VC-1</codec>" is written to the .nfo file.

Since the files are just like everyone elses vc-1 files, i'm sure other users will benefit, too.

Thanks again.
