Mp4 tag editor mp4#
I am trying to get MP3TAG to load metadata into an MP4 container and pass it to Plex, which will then scan the MP4 container using something conveniently known as a scanner, put it in the Plex server database, and then display it in one of the several Plex client apps as needed. OK so let’s step back from how I’m trying to do this and talk a little bit about what I’m trying to do.
Name in Mp3tag ID3v2.3 ID3v2.4 MP4 Matroska WMA iTunes WMP WinampĬOMPOSER TCOM " ©wrt T=30 WM/ComposerĜomposerĜomposerĜomposer I’m assuming that WRT stands for writer, which makes me think that if I can get what MP3TAG (and MP3) consider COMPOSER to Plex via metadata to Plex as the MP4 metadata field ©WRT, Plex will use it to populate the WRITER field in the Plex database and display it on the Plex screen. There are bound to be instances where that will require the use of MP4-type tags, and I'm thinking of DIRECTOR and WRITER specifically.īut the field ©WRT is in the table as the MP4 name for what MP3TAG internally refers to as COMPOSER. I've seen one other topic to that addressed this point but it wasn't as specific as I've tried to be.Īs an aside, the whole subject of mapping metadata for MP4 files from MP3TAG all the way through to Plex is a huge can of worms but it can't be addressed until and unless we can present the data to Plex via metadata. And a pull-down list for "Source" would be an outstanding improvement. If that's the case I think the Mapping Table would make more sense if the columns were adjusted such that "Source" came first, then "Tag (type)", and then "Target". The center column, "Source" always refers to the MP3TAG name, as I understand it. Please note - I'm assuming that the "Tag (type)" field on the left of the mapping table refers to the "Target" field on the right. The value assigned via MP3TAG shows up attached to ©WRT in View > Extended Tags BUT it's disappeared from the tag panel and to the best of my knowledge the only way to get rid of it would be to delete the MP4 file Tag: MP4 - Source: COMPOSER - Target: ©wrt Tag: IDv3 - Source: COMPOSER - Target: TCOM
In other words, it behaves as you'd expect it to behave.īut when I use at MP4-type tag, the value assigned to the tag via MP3TAG still gets attached to the tag, as evidenced by View > Extended Tags…, but it disappears from the MP3TAG tag panel, never to be seen again. When I use an ID3v2-type tag, the value assigned to the tag via MP3TAG gets attached to the tag, as evidenced by View > Extended Tags…, and it continues to be displayed on the MP3TAG tag panel. But I have big problems with mapping MP4-type tags. My limited experience with mapping tags for MP4 files is with ID3v2 tags. Just to be clear, my issue / question is in regard to MP4-type tags (as opposed to MP3TAG, ID3, iTunes, etc.)-type tags, as defined in this crucial table ( Tag Field Mappings – Mp3tag Documentation ). I've looked at some of the other topics regarding tagging MP4 files and it's never clear to me whether they are referring to MP4-type tags for MP4 files, or all tag types for MP4 files.
