Thanks, I'll keep checking.

I just downloaded the 64 bit version, and it still doesn't show the cover art. Did you test it out on Windows?

Are there windows binaries somewhere for this version? Any idea when it will be released into the wild?

The latest version for Windows is 2.1.3

OK, I've uploaded test.mkv to videolan upload. Let me know if you have any questions about it.

If it would help, Icaros does display the cover art (it's a Windows Explorer add-in that shows thumbnails for media files), so I know it's correct. Is there anyone who deals with MKV files in VLC that could comment on this post?

I have an MKV file that has cover art (Attachments) in it, but VLC doesn't show the cover in Tools->Media Information. Now it does show it for some files, but not for others. Using MKVInfo, the files that show the cover art have the Attachments above the first cluster, the ones that don't have it af...

So I've added WMV tagging to my app, so now I'd like to know which WMV tags VLC will support. After I tag a WMV file I can see all the tags in the file manager properties, but when I open it in VLC I see the cover art and title correctly, but the Artist and Comments have the title, not what's in the...

Thanks, that explains it.

I don't see it as a defined tag in AVI or in MP4. If you don't know what it means, fine. If you do could you just say so.

I don't see a Now Playing tag defined in MKV. Do you know what the semantics of the tag are?

OK, date and album now work, and I can see all the other info on the MetaTags tab. For me, having rating and director on the main display screen would be more interesting than encoded by and publisher. Also, what is the Now Playing field meant to display?

Thanks,
Dan

I just downloaded it yesterday. I'll install it and test it out today and post back.

Thanks,

Dan

It appears that there are more here than the current UI supports. Are the extras just going to show up in the MetaData tab like they do for MKV files?

Is there a way to get a beta of 2.1 so I can start testing it? Any idea as to when it might be released?

Thanks,

Dan

Sorry for the delayed response, I guess I wasn't subscribed to the thread and didn't get notification. Anyway, some useful fields would be rating, director, studio, and perhaps screenwriter. Of these rating would be the most important.

Thanks,

Dan

I'm including support for AVI and MKV files in my Meta tagging program, MetaX for Windows (http://www.danhinsley.com/metax/metax.html). I've finished the code to read/write the tags, but would like to know what tags I can use that VLC will recognize. I found one post about MKV files that indicated t...

I'm running the latest VLC (2.03), but I still see the date showing as 23, when the DATE_RELEASE (which is what the post said, even though the Matroksa doc says it should be DATE_RELEASED, which I added as well) tag has 2007-06-28 in it. Also you mentioned that Album was fixed. What tag name are you...
