We could have in the information of the file what type of audio it has, if it is 5.1, 7.1, stereo, or some other

Example:
2022_07_26_17_02_57

they (orion) in their file information indicate if the file has 5.1 or 7.1 audio or stereo or some other type.

It would be great if torrentio showed this information

There's limited space available and there are quite a few fields extracted already and I feel that this info is not that important and adding it would just make it harder to read/notice other extracted fields. Also it's available in the main torrent/file title.

@TheBeastLT the orion addon does so, and when the information is very extensive, when you put the pointer on the information, it moves so that it can be read completely (as it happens with the main torrent/file title of the movies)

many times the main torrent/file title does not have what type of audio the file is, so if you have a 5.1 audio system, you should try each of the links until you find the one with 5.1 audio, sometimes that takes a long time until find the perfect file with the audio you want.

*By the way, I have to THANK YOU VERY MUCH, for the detail of showing when a file is HDR, it is something that everyone wanted but not many asked for, thank you very much for making it possible.

Sadly if that info is not available in the torrent title, then it cannot be displayed since there's not way of knowing what type of audio it has. Only way is then to download part of the video and inspect it with a media info inspector and I definitely won't be doing that (due to involved complexity, server resource requirements and putting the hosting provider at risk). The same could be said about audio/subs languages available in the video, it would be nice to know exactly what it has, but it's crazy complicated to do so.

@TheBeastLT,

#64 (comment)

Without doing that, we're relying upon the uploader to accurately state the properties of the video. Has that been consistently reliable, in practice? I can't imagine that parsing filenames is easier to maintain than introspection. Would caching in this regard alleviate the potential increase in server-side requests?

#64 (comment)

I admit that I already find the filenames difficult to parse:

BLAH BLAH BLAH THE MOVIE 512 MiB 7.1

Consequently, does Stremio not permit tables? That seems like the most logical way to display extensive information whilst maintaining legibility:

Name BLAH BLAH BLAH THE MOVIE
Size 512 MiB
Audio 7.1
