Metadata location for Home Videos and Photos


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi... when I edit the metadata on a video file in my Home Videos and Photos library, where does it store this data? E.g: I update a field as in the screenshots, but when I then check the MP4 file in another programme, the metadata hasn't changed.... so where is it storing it?

Hi, it goes into the Emby server database. Also to nfo files next to the video if you have that enabled.

Thank you. Will it automatically create a NFO files for Home Videos, if one doesn’t exist?

is there a tool for editing them, or a template, as I have about 1500 video files I need to generate metadata for, but need to populate the Emby “custom” fields that aren’t part of normal standard metadata.

No, only when there's some kind of operation that results in metadata being saved (e.g. refresh metadata, edit metadata, etc).
