uosc-video-tags

Project Overview

uosc-video-tags is a standalone module that extends the uosc playback interface, showing the current media's technical parameters in the lower-left corner above the controls bar. It displays decoder mode, HDR type, video codec, resolution, frame rate, audio channels, and audio codec to help you judge a source quickly. The module is fully standalone and does not modify uosc's core, so updating uosc only requires copying this module again.

Put a source's codec and spec info quietly above the controls bar.

Key Features

• Parameter tags: shows the current media's codec, resolution, HDR, and audio info above the controls bar
• Auto-show and fade: displays at playback start for a while and then fades smoothly, with configurable duration
• Decoder detection: shows whether hardware or software decoding is in use
• HDR type detection: distinguishes SDR, HDR10, HDR10+, HLG, Dolby Vision, and HDR Vivid
• Video codec detection: recognizes AVC, HEVC, AV1, VP9, VVC, and AVS3
• Resolution and frame rate: shows resolution tiers from 8K down to 720P and integer frame rates
• Audio info: shows channel layout and audio codec such as DTS-HD MA, TrueHD, and Audio Vivid
• Domestic standard detection: multi-checks HDR Vivid and Audio Vivid and labels them in Chinese
• No extra dependencies: a single self-contained file, with no ffprobe or external modules

Target Audience

• Users of the uosc interface who care about source specs
• Users who need to confirm hardware decoding and HDR types
• People curious about domestic audio/video standards
• Advanced players who like informative visual cues

Quick Start

1. Make sure you are already using the uosc interface
2. Copy this module's code into the appropriate place for uosc; no core changes are needed
3. Configure options such as display duration in script-opts/mediainfo.conf
4. Set the auto-show seconds for playback start, or 0 to disable the feature
5. Play a video to see the technical tags above the controls bar

Core Advantages

• Standalone module: does not intrude on uosc's core, so upgrades just copy the module code
• Clear information: codec, HDR, and audio specs at a glance
• Broad detection: covers mainstream codecs and domestic standards
• Zero dependencies: a single self-contained file that is easy to deploy

System Requirements

Item	Requirement
Target interface	uosc
Player	mpv
OS	Windows, macOS, Linux
Dependencies	None (single self-contained file)

Notes

• A working uosc environment is required first; this module is only an extension
• The tag order is fixed, so adjusting it means editing the module code
• Domestic standard detection relies on properties and metadata the player provides, so results vary by source
