Adding Metadata?

Postby cstaricha » 25 Feb 2014 03:15

How can I add/edit metadata in 2.0.2? I'm trying to upload tv shows to my iPad using the VLC app and only Sherlock has been going into its own folder. The only difference I see is they have metadata when I open them in VLC on my desktop. In the metadata tab I see:

seasonNumber: 03
episodeNumber: 01
showName: Sherlock

How can I add/adjust these metadata into my other videos so that they will upload into folders instead of showing all the videos?

VLC can do it, for some formats, through the menu Tools -> Media Information tab (or Ctrl+i).

But for mass tagging you'd better use a dedicated tool such as MP3tag.

In the Media Information window I see track number but I'm not working with audio files, I'm working with video files, so mp4, mkv, and other video file types. I need to add showName, episodeNumber, and seasonNumber so that the files organize correctly in the VLC app.
