[DOCS] Set title metadata
Posted: 18 May 2017, 13:19
FileBot does not modify files, so FileBot itself cannot set or delete embedded metadata for *.mkv or *.mp4 files. You can however configure FileBot to use 3rd party tools such as mkvpropedit to automatically modify embedded metadata.
e.g. use the --def exec parameter for amc script calls:
Since we are modifying the file content with mkvpropedit after processing files with filebot -rename, using --action copy or --action clone (copy-on-write duplicate) is highly recommended to ensure that the original video files remain unmodified.
Custom Post-Processing Scripts › Set Media Title
Script Repository › Write Embedded Tags
Example: Automatically set MKV title metadata
e.g. use the -exec option for filebot -rename and filebot -mediainfo calls:Shell: Select all
-exec mkvpropedit {f} --edit info --set title={object}
Shell: Select all
--def exec="mkvpropedit {quote f} --edit info --set title={quote object}"
