mkv metadata

Post by joshua »

Hi,

I use filebot to rename all my series/movies and i use TVersity to stream media accros my local network. Sometimes (not always) files are renamed on my computer but appears with the old filename on my media center (WDTV Live). First i tought it was a bug in TVersity, so i uninstall it. Deleted all the files, reinstall and recreated the Media library but the file was still showing with the old name.

I found that the old filename is writed (i don't know what other word i could use to describe that) inside the .mkv file.

The file appears on my file explorer as "Person of Interest - 02x12 - Costume sur mesure.mkv" but on my media center as "Person.Of.Interest.S02E12".

I found this on the header of the file :

Code: Select all

libebml v1.3.0 + libmatroska v1.4.1WA½mkvmerge v6.4.1 ('Omega Point') built on Sep 15 2013 20:24:22????Person.Of.Interest.S02E12
Is there a way to make filebot change this header so it will have the correct name on my media center? Or a way to delete this header?

I have the same problem with movie renaming.

Note: this only happens with mkv file.

Thanks!

Nope, filebot doesn't touch file content.

You could try this:

Ok thanks!

For the record : using

Code: Select all

mkvpropedit -d title <FILENAME>.mkv
fixed my problem.

Thanks!!

FileBot does touch file contents now with mkvpropedit: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5047
Although, I'm not sure how to use it.
