So this version does the same.... It tries 2 different methods to get the CodecID and if none found, will just read the format, putting whichever it finds first in the Codec tag.
Removing <codecid> is ok, but moving it's data from it to <codec> is not. With svn626 from first post <codec> tag is filled with data which were previously stored as <codecid> by EMM, then XBMC skins aren't showing some media tags, because they expect them different, for example <codec>dca</codec> for DTS, instead of current EMM <codec>a_dts</codec> which XBMC skins doesn't recognize.
Quote:ListItem.VideoCodec - video codec of the stream. This is the fourcc if available or the decorder codec if not. e.g. xvid, mpeg4, h264.
ListItem.AudioCodec - audio codec of the stream. e.g. mp3, aac, ac3, dca (which is dts).
