The problem appears to be that the metadata is encoded in the audio stream of a video. If there is no audio stream, there is no metadata.
I guess the only possible fix would be for mediascanner2 to index the video with its path name, and maybe its total play time because that is pretty much all that is knowable about it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mediascanner2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1552245 Title: Mp4 video not supported Status in Canonical System Image: Confirmed Status in mediascanner2 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have copied two mp4 videos to the videos dir of my krillin device, both videos have same coded.
