I can't see the image or movie file dimensions in the Finder when browsing files on a server. Local files are shown as usual; it's just when I pick a file on the company server that the dimensions are not shown.
The screen shot below shows the dimensions of a local file, correctly, as 1280 x 720. Why is this information missing from server hosted files?
You can't get there from the tag view accessed from the sidebar, but if you navigate to the directory you want to search, and type the tag you're looking for, it will find files in that directory.
This worked, but after external disk (NTFS) eject the problem was back
xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo fileToUpdate
(or for all files in a folder xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo *)
This worked after eject/re-mount
xattr -wx com.apple.FinderInfo
0000000000000000001000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 fileToUpdate
Notes from man xattr:
xattr -w [-rsx] attr_name attr_value file ...
xattr -x Force the attribute value to be displayed in the hexadecimal representation.

Files on the remote server are not indexed by Spotlight. Try using identify or ffprobe:
