Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

When browsing my movie library in table view, I want to quickly see encoding information (codec, resolution) and
storage efficiency (GB per hour of runtime) without opening each movie's details.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add the following optional columns to the Movies index table view:

Audio Codec - Display the audio codec (e.g., "AAC", "DTS-HD MA", "TrueHD Atmos")
Video Codec - Display the video codec (e.g., "x265", "AVC", "AV1")
Resolution - Display resolution (e.g., "1920x1080", "3840x2160")
Gigabytes Per Hour - Calculated field showing storage efficiency (size / runtime)

Additionally:

Right-align the existing "Size on Disk" column for better number readability

These columns would be hidden by default and available through the column picker.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Currently I need to click into each movie's details or use the file editor to see codec/resolution information.
Having it in the main table view would be much more efficient for library management.

Anything else?

This information is already available via movieFile.mediaInfo - this feature simply exposes it in the table view.

I'll have a branch with the changes available momentarily. Happy to work through the process to get it integrated if approved.

Bump. There’s a PR to complete this in the queue. Happy to change / modify things if I can somehow fit project intentions better.
