Video File Classifications / Supported File Types
« on: April 13, 2026, 10:48:26 AM »
Hello dro,

thanks for your recent updates, esp. the video support in-what, so I have restarted using WACUP for video play.

Video playback works ok with all my filetypes which are MKV, MP4, MPEG, MPG, AVI, TS.

Scanning the storage location and adding the files to the local library works as well. Unfortunately only the MP4 files are sorted to the Video View, all others show up under Audio View. Checking under the Local Library - Supported File Types tab, only MP4 and M4V files are shown as Video types, all other typical video file types are listed as Audio. Is this the reason why they are also shown in the Audio View i.o. Video, and if yes can this be corrected?

I use the last dev build 24270.

Thanks WW

The metadata / file handling with in_what isn't yet full done which is preventing it being able to detect & report back the 'type'. That causes it to treat things as unknown which the library will assume is audio & will require a rescan once that's eventually implemented.
