I mostly work from my music video collection and autogain does a decent job of normalising the output when playing out.
I have noticed though when playing the videos outwith VDJ that some are quieter than others and some a bit louder. I see that VDJ keeps a "gain" field in the tag editor which presumably stores the amount of autogain added on playback once the file has been analyzed.
Is there any way to see that number for all files so I can find which videos need adjusted in general?
Thanks!

No! no-no-no!
No! Oh gods no, another one will be banned, demoted, booed. (Underline whatever applicable). They told you this is not and cannot be. It’s just that we are all deaf or have heard enough of the autogain of competing programs, so we hear all sorts of things here. It's sarcasm. :))

Not sure why you think your reply is relevant.
I'm happy with the VDJ output and autogain. I am just wanting to display a list of the gain adjustments.

@Kradcliffe not a nice/application native solution, but the gain values are probably in the database.xml file...you can probably use Python or other scripting language to parse the file and gather track filepaths based on that and other properties (e.g. if the file is a video, some threshold of gain value) and generate a VirtualDJ playlist with those files from the same script, which would show up on subsequent application startups.

I could make it [I've plenty of xml scraping apps] but, I'm not sure the results would give anything conclusive.
you've got gain as you see in the tag editor, then you also have volume which is a scan attribute only seen at xml level, I don't think either would tell you "this track is over gained"

@locodog my assumption was that a collection of tracks would be gathered on some crude approximation/assumption (e.g. a gain boost level at or above which is perceived to be too high) and then that collection would be further parsed through manual checking or using some other ReplayGain type tool to verify the assumption.

Really in simple terms I'd just like a column for gain in the browser if this could be considered.

I don't think it would bee to hard to add
But it my cause a lot of confusion, because it's the detected gain, that VDJ then adds to or subtracts from before playing the track especially when using auto gain
And it should never be manually changed on a track, because it's the foundation for the gaining VDJ does, so that will stop working properly
