The VideoLAN Forums

I am having a problem when trying to edit a video's Media Information.

The steps I take:
1. Start a video
2. Pause the video
3. Go to: Tools>Media Information
4. Under the General tab, I edit any information I need/want to
5. Click Save Metadata
6. Click Close & exit the video

But when I reopen the video & check, none of my edits are saved.

As an alternative; I can Right-click the video file, choose Properties, select the Details tab, edit some information & click Apply.
The problem with this route is that not everything I edit in the Comments section gets saved when I check while the video is playing.

Anyone have the same problem or know if there is a fix to this?

Works for me. If you don't have the current version of vlc which is 3.0.17.4 download it from here: https://www.videolan.org/

If you're already running 3.0.17.4 reset preferences and then try again: https://wiki.videolan.org/VSG:ResetPrefs

Which formats do you have problems with ?
