Expose primaries and trc in video codec VideoCodecParameters

[23doors]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Without primaries and trc in media info, there seems to be no way to figure out if video has HDR or not.

Describe the solution you'd like
MDK already parses primaries and trc from codec, expose it so that mediainfo() can access these as well.

DV files I guess would need DV profile as well? Or something to differentiate them from SDR files

Ideally, also expose embeded subtitle track parameters, specifically forced and default

Mkv has multiple track flags:
FlagDefault, FlagForced, FlagHearingImpaired, FlagVisualImpaired, FlagTextDescriptions, FlagOriginal, FlagCommentary etc. https://www.matroska.org/technical/elements.html

Not sure about other containers but HLS and DASH also have these, just way less standarized and not so common. But in mkv it is very commonly used.

I guess adding these to streaminfo metadata like language and title are added would be more than enough. Workaround for getting trc, primaries and dolby profile is to parse logs when opening media, but it's not exactly dependable if there is more than 1 player. And well, mkv track forced, default etc flags are not shown there.

this build add color space(only a few but almost enough to detect hdr) and dolby vision profile

streaminfo c struct is not able to add new members without abi break, so track flags will not be added soon. metadata is an option

Thank you, will test soon. Regarding track flags - track title/label and language is already a part metadata so I guess it makes sense to add it there as well. To avoid breaking compatibility.
