This looks great and I want to try it but I do not see any exe file in the download. In one of the readme files it mentions you can download PyInstaller to make an exe but I get a syntax error in Python when I try to run PyInstaller within Python. I know absolutely nothing about Python so that’s probably my biggest problem…

here’s a direct link https://github.com/google/spatial-media/releases/download/v2.1/360.Video.Metadata.Tool.win.zip
after downloading the zip file you need to extract it and follow the instructions.
