Find All Files With Specific Codec
#1
I have recently identified some files I have that are encoded with AV1 for video. I have found the video on them choppy on a Raspberry Pi 4, apparently the hardware decoder for AV1 has been removed in that chipset. I am happy to replace or re-encode them, but I can't think of a way to identify them all, apart from dropping each one onto MediaInfo one by one!

Whenever I show information in Kodi (Amber skin) for these files it does not show an icon/tag for the video codec. Where most files show (H.264) or (H.265) these ones just have a blank space. So perhaps I'm not looking for files Kodi identifies as AV1, but rather 'unknown'?

Anyway I was hoping there is a way to maybe query the library and spit out the paths for all files with AV1 or 'unknown' codec...any ideas?

Easiest would be to use a Smart Playlist to filter by VideoCodec...

Or if you are handy with SQL, you can check the MyVideos database.

Cool I didn't realise smart playlists could be fine tuned so much!
