Using VLC to play, the Title for an MKV movies doesn't show, it shows an embedded MKV Title instead. MP3Tag Title = "s01e03 - Something" but the VLC display seems to be a different Title that I can find in the MKV file with MKVToolNix Info Is there a different tag for MKV files, another way to do …

[image] RobertM: The DIRECTOR, GENRE, and other tags that get created by default at level 30 by Mp3tag would all really be better if they were created at level 50 for MKV files. I've just released Mp3tag v3.28e , which changes the default mapping to T=50 for MKV Matroska video files.

Here is a thread that shows how to clear the VLC cache: [image] How to delete VLC player cache Support i want to change front cover image but it takes previous image which i use, suggest me how to change image on every new song See if it works better with a cleared ca…

No difference -- the 'embedded' MKV title field is still displayed, not the MP3Tag field

see here on MKV chapters: [image] Chapters Toggle in MKV General Discussion No, except for not using chapters. This topic is about chapters in Matroska. Your workaround is for MP4. The same can be achieved in Mp3tag by right-click on the MP4 file and choosing "Strip MP4 …

That title is probably the Header tag title, not the XML tag title. In my experience, an MKV or any Matroska file can have both. Depends on the media player on which title it would prefer to display. I think MPC-HC and MPC-BE favor the XML titles over the Header ones. The Header tags I believe are i…

I use MKVToolNix editor and info to peek inside [Capture] Since it was called "Title" I thought that MP3Tag was supposed to update it -- seemed logical to me anyway However, I did find that since my ffmpeg batch file (used to remove non-English, non-forced subtitles, non-English audio tracks, an…

You can use MKVToolNix's very own CLI exe's to batch remove the Header tags (like the Header's Title counterpart) fast and easily without remuxing. For example, if I have a few MKV's inside a particular folder, I use something like below. This should remove the header title, by simply putting no va…

Thanks for the tip -- I looked into mkvpropedit.exe's CLI options. Seems like it would work just to delete/change Headers. My current batch file removes subtitles, non-English audio tracks, chapters, and some data elements, but it does re-mux. I didn't see those as features of mkvpropedit. I think…

Actually, I don't think my ffmpeg batch file reencodes, it just rewrites the necessary streams (right term)?

UPDATE: Indeed, your FFmpeg batch probably does not re-encode. But I still highly recommend MKVToolNix to strip Matroska titles and other Header tags especially since the program was updated maybe last one or two months or so ago, to support emojis and smilies. Not sure if FFmpeg could preserve such…

I've solved this issue in my python script mkvpropr by setting the file title based on the title in matching .nfo files (that tinyMediaManager generates for each of my movies/tv show episodes). Example movie .nfo excerpt: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <!--created on 2024-…
