I've never moved on to ID3v2.4 so that's not the issue... Director field in mp3tag does not seem to match Directors field in windows explorer. Not sure why... rather disappointing that they both have this type of field available but unusable/incompatible out of the box. What field in mp3tag corres…

[image] Nivekian: Director field in mp3tag does not seem to match Directors field in windows explorer. You can fill the most obvious tags in your windows file explorer with values to recognize the tag name. If you see "composer" in windows file explorer, you could fill it with "MyComposer" a…

Unfortunately this isn’t as simple as filling in a traditional field in metadata. For movies and TV Shows, there are an entirely new set of fields that were not part of the original MP4 spec. These are all buried into a single field ITUNMOVI and layered into an xml file. For example, I added “test d…

So with mp3tag I'm limited to these five text fields? Artist Composer Comments Title Genre With windows file properties I get 15 more fields but mp3tag just can't read them? So, is there a program out there that allows one to edit file properties with ease, or am I stuck doing it all by hand,…

The documentation lies, top of the mp4 section has director which is what I asked about and it doesn't work. (maybe it should be removed? or fixed?) All but the aforementioned 5 of mp3tag's text field tags do not show in explorer. I filled a mp4 with every text field available in mp3tag and have e…

[image] Nivekian: The documentation lies, top of the mp4 section has director which is what I asked about and it doesn't work. (maybe it should be removed? or fixed?) The documentation shows that in mp3tag the DIRECTOR field is mapped to ©dir as per the actual spec for MP4. But some programs …

Forgive my frustrations... I did not realize it was such an impossible task. I tried about 20 programs last night and only one of them could achieve any result, ' PropertySystemView ' but it's just as awkward as the file properties details tab, if not more so... might be helpful for someone else thou…

[image] Nivekian: The documentation lies, top of the mp4 section has director which is what I asked about and it doesn't work. (maybe it should be removed? or fixed?) That tag works fine, just not the way you were hoping. I use it frequently with M4a files to hold the music director or band…

The problem is more focused on the use in video files. There is a paid for app that does write all of these xml details for you, try MetaX to see if it works for your use case. I can’t recall if there is a trial, or the cost. I have had it for years.
