[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1149249, member: 109222"] Hi. TagLib is used for reading tags from audio files. And here it's working properly. Reading tags from videos isn't the goal of it, as far as I know... (but not 100% sure) Personally I don't have any mp4 videos in my collection, but I know some who have. Mainly the users of Apple computer and/or software (like iTunes) are using mp4 due to the lack of MKV support by Apple. None of them has reported MP2 to be able to read tags from .mp4 video files so I'm pretty sure that is is not working on Videos atm. For MKV we have an extra plugin (MatroskaLib) that reads the matroska tags to identify the video during import into the ML... By the way, after the MIA rework we also should have an eye on this plugin, as it can be used to extract attached fanart and .nfo files from MKV videos too, but this isn't used inside MP2 atm. In fact it only uses data that is 100% needed for identifying the video only (IMDB-ID on movies and TVDB-ID, Season and Episodes Numbers from Series) nothing more... ATM I'm not sure if this is a good behaviour or not. Tags couldn't get lost like e.G. nfo files so it would be good to read them all, but on the other hand they are not that easy to edit if something is changing on the metadata. Imagine an ongoing series that is translated with some delay so maybe the time you tag the videos there is no localized name and description available. If the Tags would be preferred you need to manipulate the video file itself to get this updated metadata.. When I'm finished porting all known functionality from MKV-Buddy V1 to V2 I will try to fiddle around with "AtomicParsley" a bit (a CLI tool to tag MP4 files). Maybe there is a way to use it inside MKV-Buddy too. Then I can test myself if tags from mp4 videos are read properly also I don't believe this... But first I need the new Buddy to be able doing all things the old one could do... Maybe two or three weeks before I can start this. [/QUOTE]
