Show Metadata on Apple TV

Postby jxself » 17 Aug 2018 03:51

It would be nice of VLC on the Apple TV would show file metadata briefly when starting a video, like VLC on the desktop computers shows the title.

Windows platform file Metadata is critical to recognizing the video file contents
of all files Saved on the users' PC/Laptop.
Windows Explorer has fantastic features which can display the metadata
in all files in the Recorded TV and the Videos directories in columnar form
with powerful mouse-hover capabilities over elaborate data columns
like "Program description".
This is especially powerful when used with Windows Media Center (WMC)
video file save capabilities.

There is no application in the Linux or Apple worlds which possesses
anywhere near the power of Windows Explorer in this and numerous other respects,
such as using the Windows Explorer Search box for a name buried in the metadata
like "Sean Connery" or "Jennifer Lawrence" or "NFL" or "Soccer" or "comedy" , etc.
Those who are using WMC should select at least the following columns
within the Windows Explorer display of Recorded TV and Videos directories
which contain video files:

Name
Size
Date Created
Date Modified
Broadcast Date
Length
Program description
Channel Number
Station call sign
Station name
Type
Title
Episode Name
