Problem with movie details in Windows Explorer

Hi, i have one little problem with Windows Explorer and (i think) K-lite config.

When i open directory in detailed view, explorer columns such as Dimension (Wymiary), Bit Depth (Głębia w bitach) and other specified for video/media are empty.


This applies not only to wmv files, but also avi, mkv, mp4 and others.
I use Lav splitter from K-lite pack, Lav decoders and Icaros (only as property handler, i don't like thumbnails).

Windows property window display files metadata normally.


My system: Windows 7 64bit, K-lite Mega 12.5.5.

Any idea what's wrong? Please help guys.

File properties for AVI/WMV/MP4 are handled by Windows itself. Icaros is only used for MKV, FLV, and a few other formats that Windows doesn't support.

Check if the display settings are correct:
Explorer > Organize (click on it without any file selected) > Properties > Optimize this library for = videos

Optionally enable details pane:
Explorer > Organize > layout > Details Pane

Rebuild the search index:
Windows Control Panel > Indexing Options > Advanced > Rebuild

That is all the suggestions I have right now.

Thx Admin. I turned on the index reconstruction, but this didn't help.
I discovered that my explorer displays columns for MKV (and others providing by Icaros) files properly.


The problem concerns those provided by Windows itself. I think this may be a problem with the property handlers or column handlers installed on the system.

I do not know if it's important, but my default player is Potplayer for video and Aimp for audio files. I also use AudioShell (with its extensions for Shell32.dll) and SageThumbs (thumbnail provider for photos).

Property handlers list created by ShellExView (unfortunately only supported export format is HTML):

Check if these Registry keys exist:

I'm sorry I did not answer that long, but I had overdue work at home.

Copy all text from that code block in my previous post and put it in a text file. Rename that file to .reg and double-click it to import it into the Registry. It comes from my Win7x64 system.

I assume that things did work in the past? Does you Windows include Windows Media Player? Because there also is an "N" version of Windows in Europe, which doesn't include a lot of multimedia things by default. If that is the case, then I can tell you how to install the missing things.

THX. You are great. Of course CLSID in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PropertySystem\PropertyHandlers\.mp4]
and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PropertySystem\PropertyHandlers\.wmv]
was wrong and pointed to AudioShell property handler.

AudioShell installer messed up.

One more time thanks. I owe you.
