There are now two preset filters. One lists only SD videos, i.e., videos below 720p. This allows you to quickly find videos that urgently need to be replaced with a better version, if possible. The other filter lists only HDR (and DV) videos.You can also exclude certain codecs from being listed. This is done using white and black lists, both for audio and video codecs. A new "Settings" window has been added for this purpose.[ATTACH=full]215716[/ATTACH]In addition to the GUI language, you can also define the white and black lists here. This can be done separately for video and audio codecs.If the whitelist is used, only videos that are “undesirable”, i.e. do not contain the listed codec(s), will appear in the list. The whitelist therefore contains the “good” codecs that are allowed to remain and therefore do not need to be listed.The blacklist is exactly the opposite. The “bad” codecs are listed here, which you want to recognize so that you can change them.I have used the whitelist for the video codecs because I only “allow” HEVC in my collection. You can of course set what you like here. You could also just blacklist DivX, for example, because most modern hardware no longer supports DivX for licensing reasons and it therefore runs poorly.For audio codecs, I “allow” many different codecs. In this respect, a whitelist would be impractical here. That's why I use the blacklist here, which contains the two codecs that my AVR cannot play as passthrough. That's why I prefer to convert E-AC-3 to DolbyDigital (AC-3) and Dolby True HD (MLP FBA) to DTS instead of only being able to listen to them as a stereo downmix.The codecs are entered one per line in the lists. The exact name (e.g. “MLP FBA” for Dolby True HD) can be found using MediaInfo. The names listed here are compared directly with the results from MediaInfo. If they match, this results in a hit. If the filter does not work as desired, first check the spelling of the codecs in the lists.To save the settings, Codec-Lister must be restarted. However, this can be done in a flash, so it is not a problem. If you click on “Save”, you will be asked whether you want to save, save and restart or cancel. As a rule, “Save and restart” is the “correct” answer.A progress bar is displayed during the listing and there is also a button to cancel. This button sometimes does not respond immediately. If necessary, press it several times. You will notice when the press has been registered. This is because you will then be asked whether you really want to cancel.[ATTACH=full]215714[/ATTACH]Here you see the "SD Filter" in action:[ATTACH=full]215713[/ATTACH]The same folder with the same videos as above. But now only low-resolution videos are displayed. This makes it much easier to identify them. You can also open the (filtered) list in a text editor and save it so that you can access it again later.I have attached the file here. You can also download it from our homepage. The link is in the first post.</blockquote>
