Yes. What are your library enabled Image Fetchers and in what order?

[robbie1407 4]

hi, i unticked them all as i thought u only tick them if you dont have your own artwork. 

 

thanks

Enable Screen Grabber and refresh metadata on your item(s) afterwards.

Which tags exactly? As support does vary by type.

 

[robbie1407 4]

mkv files. the tags are embedded with title and date. do far emby doesn't read the tags

 

thankyou

Can you show screenshots of the embedded tags? How did you embed them?

[robbie1407 4]

ive used mp3tag

 

thanks

[Luke 42079]

Did you enable the option in library settings to prefer embedded titles?

[robbie1407 4]

the only option i see is this one
where about is that located?

 

thanks

[Luke 42079]

Try using the toggle in the upper right to show advanced settings, then there will be a new option to prefer embedded titles over file names.

[robbie1407 4]

hi, so i managed to do that and title shows, but the year still does not, thanks

[robbie1407 4]

what format would it be in, ive tried everything lol

[robbie1407 4]

so in a update i can confirm that mp4 year in mp3tag works, however emby does not read mlv embedded tags for mkv files, any idea why this would be?

thanks

Now that you've togged the option, try refreshing the metadata on the existing mkv's in your library and see if that helps.

[robbie1407 4]

ive tried everything refreshing. is it a possible its a problem with the server version or something?

Can you provide a sample video for testing? Thanks.

[robbie1407 4]

Tested. Title works just fine. There is date or year value tagged into this file, except for DATE_RECORDED, but we can't really use that to populate release year.

If you want to populate the release date or year, use the DATE field, or RETAILDATE.

[robbie1407 4]

hi thanks for helping with that, is there a list of all mkv tags emby can read?

also is there a video description embedded mkv tag i can use?

 

thanks
