Video tags - spiff - 2018-01-03
hi,
i recently added support for video tags. this allows for doing much of what is done with nfo files, except
you use tags and attachments.
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/13106/commits/47bb0b69bb07c9a6499e00dcbcabbee66a98ef29
the state of video tags is not good. for mp4, the usual itunes standard is extremely limited it what it can support,
for mkv it is even worse https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=192982&pid=2681149#pid2681149
this can be remedied but it would mean specification work has to take place.
anything the devs here are interested in ? as a starting point mkv support for kodi metadata and embedded art
would be a great improvement for usability (i can grok mkvpropedit just fine but not all are as groky).

I think you should post that in a Kodi related subforum, not in Ember?
RE: Video tags - spiff - 2018-01-03
no, it's posted exactly where i intended to post it. i'm asking whether you want to support writing tags/attachments from ember, just like ember can generate nfo files.

Ah ok, I've missunderstood that
Metadata edit for MKVs will be a new feature of Ember 2.0. My plan was to add an editor to changes the file headers to fix or set language info for audio streams ect.
Maybe I can also add your ideas, but I've first to read and learn how metadata can be edited. My idea is to use mkvtoolnix with command line or search a .NET library on Nuget.
Please add a feature request with a link to your posts and discussions on our Bug and Feature Request tracker.
