I am currently trying to write a meta data, in my case the resolution of a mkv file to a tag. I tried so long but it don‘t work.
In the end the first resoltion part, e.g. 1920x1080 shall be written to the properties of the file so that I can sort them in windows folders.
I already know the syntax of the first resolution part. Its %_video_width%
I can write it with format field command to the filename, but I did‘t get it done to write it to the width_field or cover_width field, that can be shown and sorted in common windows.
Does anyone know the correct syntax? My last try was the one below here, from my point of view it should work, but it did‘t.
Field: Width Formatstring: %_video_width%%_width%
I am using the Action option of MP3tag and format Format value setting.
What would be the property name of this field that is supported by Windows Explorer?
If you want to fill a custom (non official) tag name like WIDTH_FIELD, you can use an Action from type "Format Value".
As Field you type whatever fieldname you like. **
As Format string you enter %_video_width%
** Please be aware that such custom field names are not supported by most other software, especially not by Windows Explorer.
... but aren't these properties that the windows explorer should show by itself?
And if the windows explorer cannot cope with these for mkv files, then I doubt that it will read tag data not to mention user-defined tag fields.
Hi LyricsLover. I am also German
Thats exactly what I want. Just "Bildbreite" would be enough for me.
I know the command of the I call it Metadata, in that 1920 is in.
It is %_video_width%
I can already write it in the dataname, so this should be correct source command for this data.
But I do not know the tag name for the "Bildbreite" as you show in your picture.
I tried %_frame_width% and %width" already, but it do not write 1920 in the correct tag, that windows need for its explorer view.
How did you get it like you show it on your picture?
Do you know the tag name in Mp3tag?
How should it be like ? %_video_width%% ????? %
I don't write any metadata into my MKV files.
The resolution part "Bildbreite" (1920) will be displayed without altering the MKV at all.
So do you want this additional metdata in your MKV files for other purposes then showing them in Windows Explorer?
If you look at the "Detail" on the right side of your Windows Explorer, do you currently see the values as shown (yellow highlighted) in my screenshot above?

No, just for showing them in windows.
No I do not see it in the windows details. Thats the point why the explorer cannot show it, too. I think.
I installed Icaros and it works now.
Thank you for your help. The one file without resolution I need to check later, what is wrong with it.
Now I can easily see and replace files with too low resolution by sorting them in Windows.
Thats what I want.
