Hello, I have a problem with the movies in bluray. The media flags do not appear in any movie in bluray format (folder structure). I have tried many movies in bluray and different skins and still does not appear the media flags (resolution, codecs, audio, etc). However with mkv video files if they appear correctly. I added the word "BLURAY" in the movie folder but it does not work. How do I have to do it?

Bluray movie without media flags:

mkv movie with media flags:

It's not the folder but the video files themselves that get the bluray or bd tag addition: https://kodi.wiki/view/Naming_video_file..._.2F_Flags

But it is not just a file, it is a folder structure with many files. In which do I have to add "BLURAY"?

@david86bcn

Which skin are you using?

The question is better asked in the skin forum as it depends on how the skinner has chosen to display those tags, either through a filename and/or through the codec tags in the video file as klojum describes above.

Are you certain the title that does not display media info is file structure?
I have exactly one title that I left in file structure rip. It displays media info as do all other file extensions such as .mkv.
All my other titles are iso's. None of them have ever displayed media info. I wish they could.

I have it like this. Is this file structure, right?

Can you also post screenshots for...

1. The contents of the BDMV folder
2. The contents of the Stream folder

Yep, that all looks fine.

Now we are at the point of needing a debug log. Follow these instructions... https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid2665079

Remove Aquaman from your library. Then follow the above guide and Scrape the movie back into the library and provide the log.

Do you see something that is wrong?

Yes I do. It did take me a little while to test this, but I can easily replicate the issue you are describing.

There seem to be two issues at play here...
1. In the BDMV structure, the playable file is index.bdmv. So when Kodi tries to read the codecs out of the file, there is nothing there because it is not a video file, just a pointer file.

For most users, problem 1 is just a minor annoyance because playing the video will then force Kodi to read the stream codecs and add them to the database, but...
2. There is a bug in Kodi v18 where stream details from the playing file are not updating the database, so in the case of Bluray and DVD folders, you end up with no codec information.

For problem 2...
a. The bug has already been reported here... https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/15589
b. It has been fixed and was merged at the start of March.

We cannot fix problem 1, but if you download and install the latest nightly problem 2 will be fixed and you just need to play the video for a couple of seconds to get the codecs saved in the database. I have tested this and confirm it works.

Let us know how it works for you.

I'm sorry but I do not see the link to download the latest nightly. Where can I download it?

Thank you.

Thank you.

@Karellen Ok, I installed the latest nightly and I played a few seconds the bluray and now yes the media flags appear. I have realized the same with the dvds but it does not show media flags (only the DVD symbol). Is it possible to do it with the dvds? Thank you.
