C# Reading Video Metadata in Windows (Title,description,year)

Question

Hey everyone just trying to make a program that browses video files and reads the title and description from the files metadata. I found some docs from microsoft

Answer 1

I've made a simple C# code (portable to Unity, too) csatomreader. It's optimized for speed and can read the atoms over HTTP, too.

E.g. Get title:

using (FileStream stream = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open))
{
    var mp4Reader = new AtomReader(stream);
    string value = mp4Reader.GetMetaAtomValue(AtomReader.TitleTypeName);
    Console.WriteLine($"{atomTypeName}: {value}");
}

If you need to get more metadata values at once, then iterate over ParseAtoms(), e.g. see the GetMetaAtomValue() source.
