The VideoLAN Forums

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 that VLC recognized:
"TITLE", "ARTIST", "GENRE", "COPYRIGHT", "DESCRIPTION", PUBLISHER",
"URL", "PART_NUMBER, "TOTAL_PARTS", "DATE_RELEASE"

but I haven't found the equivalent for AVI files.

Also, I'd be interested in working with someone to get VLC to recognize a larger set of tags. I looked at building the VLC Player and getting involved that way, but since I'm a Windows/Visual Studio guy, it didn't seem like this would be very easy.

Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

For AVI in 2.1:
AVIFOURCC_IART AVIFOURCC_ICMT AVIFOURCC_ICOP AVIFOURCC_IGNR AVIFOURCC_INAM AVIFOURCC_ICRD AVIFOURCC_ILNG AVIFOURCC_IRTD AVIFOURCC_IWEB AVIFOURCC_IPRT AVIFOURCC_IFRM AVIFOURCC_IARL AVIFOURCC_ICMS AVIFOURCC_ICRP AVIFOURCC_IDIM AVIFOURCC_IDPI AVIFOURCC_IENG AVIFOURCC_IKEY AVIFOURCC_ILGT AVIFOURCC_IMED AVIFOURCC_IPLT AVIFOURCC_IPRD AVIFOURCC_ISBJ AVIFOURCC_ISFT AVIFOURCC_ISHP AVIFOURCC_ISRC AVIFOURCC_ISRF AVIFOURCC_ITCH AVIFOURCC_ISMP AVIFOURCC_IDIT AVIFOURCC_ISGN AVIFOURCC_IWRI AVIFOURCC_IPRO AVIFOURCC_ICNM AVIFOURCC_IPDS AVIFOURCC_IEDT AVIFOURCC_ICDS AVIFOURCC_IMUS AVIFOURCC_ISTD AVIFOURCC_IDST AVIFOURCC_ICNT AVIFOURCC_ISTR

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
