I open an mkv file, go to Tools -> Media Information, and change some text such as Title or Comments, then press "Save Metadata". I close the dialogue, close VLC player, then re-open the same file. The saved information is not there; it didn't save anything.

The most recent version I tried this on was 3.0.4. I've had this problem for years and others have noted it, but it still hasn't been fixed apparently.

I have the same issue with Version 3.0.4 on my mac. The title for one of my movies was missing in the playlist and on the title bar on the main window. So, I used the Media Information feature to set the title for that session, but the next time I opened that movie file, the title was gone again. Please fix.

Any update on how to successfully save meta data?
