Hey guys,

For a plugin I am writing I need to change mp4 metadata. I tried using vlc.input.item():set_meta(),
so for example

vlc.input.item():set_meta("description", "test is it working?")

The code runs fine (as in it doesn't crash) but somehow it does nothing.
Does anyone have the same issue and maybe knows some fix?
Would appreciate any help!

This is on vlc 3.0.4 windows.

It works. The new description appears in Comments in Current Media Information (Tools > Media Information). It does not write permanent changes in a media file.

I have the same problem V3.0.6 windows doesn't save the changes.

W7 64 bit

I have the same problem V3.0.6 windows doesn't save the changes.

Hi, it's not meant to save the changes into the file, but to provide information to the users.
