Tags in videos

[corporatei 5]

The videos on the PC have tags in them.  But, the tags themselves don't seem to show up in the videos in the Emby when scanning the media library.  How do we make the tags in the video show up automatically in Emby?

Here above screenshot, there is a Tag written into the video.

 

But on Emby Media server, the tag "Dog" is no where to be found.  It seems it needs to be added manually.  How do we get the media server to scan media to detect tags in the video?

Can you go over a specific example?

How are they tagged?

Okay you are talking about embedded metadata in a file.  Will have to search but not sure what metadata is extracted from video files.

@Lukemay have to confirm this as I am not sure if anything besides title is used if enable on the library.

Prefer embedded titles over filenames
This determines the default display title when no internet metadata or local metadata is available.

It doesn't look like ffprobe even sees the Windows property tags.

When I use Windows 10 to write tags into the photos, the Emby Metatags can detect them.  But Emby cannot detect the tags written on the videos from Windows 10.  How can we make Emby detect the tags from the videos, that the tags are written from Windows 10?

So what should I do, or is there a solution to this problem?  Who do I contact?

Make a Feature Request in the appropriate forum section, AFAIK embedded tags are read only from music files and photos, not video files.
