Is there a simple drag and drop alternative to get  the needed MediaInfo data into the TGx torrent description?
I've had my fill of trying to run down MediaInfo-- information-- that resembles the output I see in
torrents.  Command Line Interfaces,  batch files-- I actually have some samples of those from
someone nice enough to provide them.  But it's still a manual data entry and batch file creation for each
item so far as I know.  Looks like reinventing a wheel made long ago.

I've seen Playtime and I don't think that is a solution.

So what do the uploaders here use  _if_  it is other than MediaInfo to get the TGx standard layout?.

In the meantime I'll try to get MediaInfo  CLI installed since it seems to be an option not a feature.

loninappleton:_verified_uploader::_junkie: ,

check the rules and regulations regarding uploads , see if the inclusion of  media info is ' a command ' or just something the uploader provides to make the downloader more comfy with his slippers entertainment .
Good luck.

From what I can see media info is not mandatory.But having said that uploaders generally include it.Admin may say otherwise .The more info you can add the more the downloader can see what it is.Just my opinion..

It's not mandatory.
But a service you provide as a uploader.
It's up to you to use it.

I told you, most uploaders use MediaInfo. I even sent you a link and step by step instructions.
There's nothing complicated about. It's as easy as copying as much of the MediaInfo report as you want to include and pasting it into your torrent description. I don't understand what your problem is.

Everyone I know uses MediaInfo.

The CLI works just fine as well.

Feel free to copy paste what i done above, it's simple and breaks all the info you really need down quite easily, also it's better for the downloader as they don't have to scroll for ever if you copy pasted the whole mediainfo of your upload lol

@Alien4

From above,   then you just manually enter all the data in your text file.
That makes sense and a good solution.  Just another step I had not considered.

MediaInfo is not required  except for some specialized applications like TGx seedbox.  That's
the only reason  my attention was drawn to it at all.

Actual "MediaInfo" generated metadata is not required.
We only ask that you include relevant  information about the media, such as Resolution, Format, Bitrate, Frame Rate, etc.
So people will have some idea of the quality of the media without having to download it to find out.

Done manually.  If and when I get the batch file working from another source,  the format will be more compact.
In sum there is no Drag and Drop solution which was my question.

 Is there still that thread for programming requests?  I recall one I made months ago about fixing
those skewed album cover images with some sort of border so they don't distort.  No news on that.

But a drag and drop would offer a  _selection_ of  fields to include in check box form as many or as few
as you like and saved as a .txt.    I want to pitch this to free programming sites-- GitHub or someplace-- but I don't have a good lead.

Elsewhere I did install MediaInfo Command Line CLI for that batch file.  But I'm very slow at understanding code at all.

As far as the cover image issue. It's up to the uploader to provide images with the correct aspect ratio if they can't live with the distortion caused by displaying the wrong resolution image.
The size of our cover images is 200 x 300 pixels.
That's an aspect ratio of 2:3
With that aspect ratio, the height is 1.5 times longer than the width. So the image can be (500px × 750px), (600px x 900px), (800px x 1200px) etc.
This means, any image with a 2:3 aspect ratio, regardless of original size will be displayed correctly after our system resizes it to (200px x 300px).
Images with slightly different aspect ratios will be slightly stretched or or compressed. The farther you stray from the 2:3 aspect ratio, the more noticeable the image distortion will be.

It's an interesting problem.  Since most of the images are "pulls" from an image site I just try to do it visually.
I can't recall if there's any image analysis done at ImgBB where I've put what images I use.

Cover images will always display better if they are taller than they are wide.

An update.  I did pitch the idea of drag and drop check box for fields at MediaInfo.  No response so unknown if they
thought is worthwhile.

But the best workaround I found and am using is simply "Select all" at the View> text screen and
manually edit it short or long.
