I use get-video-properties python library for metadata harvesting. Works great

This is why I still use Bridge over Lightroom for a lot of my daily interacting with files. I don't always create an LR project. I just want to edit one or two files. So I love this feature as well.

For checking the video resolutions, ffprobe should do what you want (a tool that’s part of ffmpeg). Combined with the find command you should be able to do it in one line.

100%. Desktop Docs uses ffprobe under the hood to get file metadata.

Indexing file metadata is on the roadmap. Right now Desktop Docs will render file metadata (resolution, file size, duration), but planning on making this a searchable field.
Demo looks neat though. I wonder if it can tell me which of my video files are SD, HD, and 4K. I've ripped so much media that I've lost track and did not name my files in such a way that it's obvious what resolution each one is. Something like that probably doesn't even need AI, just a peek at the existing metadata.
