[Feature] Transcoded video details (size, bitrate, size compared to original)

[Cakeday]

I have searched the existing feature requests to make sure this is not a duplicate request.

• Yes

The feature

It would be nice to see further stats in the information section for individual assets like:

1. Size of the transcoded video
2. Bitrate
3. Size as % or original

These three things are derivable from info in the HTTP request already (i.e. Range: bytes=0-20822087), with no backend support needed. These would help users tune their transcoding settings well + let users know if a particular video has been transcoded already without having to check the db. I think this would also be a good first issue.

An expansion on this would involve storing the transcoding settings applied to a particular transcoded video so that users could view this, but this would require backend support.

Are you aware that the transcoded does not replace the original? It's simply used for streaming to the web or mobile app, primarily if you have a weak device, a bad internet connection, or you want to save mobile data.

Just confirming this. Even if you want it knowing the above information I understand your point but I don't think it's a priority. Maybe in the upcoming Utitilites page there could be a page which shows the transcoded videos compared to the originals.

This requirement seems to be a super weak requirement

yep, hard agree that info pane should show transcode info. more than that, codec info as well

however, this could lead to bugs due to the lack of cache invalidation (#6955) where the info pane details desync from the asset being previewed, and the user gets confused as to why a supported file isn't showing up

Knowing the resulting file size of trascoding could be useful for fine-tuning the transcoding parameters.
