Bulk removal of Video Release Date meta from Photo Files?

How do I remove the Video meta added to photo files by Emby?   

I posted here a while ago because the date stuff in each client (web, android , roku) had to be set in EACH interface and everything went screwy while turning off fields.

When they were moved to a new server and the problem with dates showing when turned off for some content and not showing when turned on for others. The reason is now apparent.  Someone decided a good short cut was to use video meta fields to hold data for photos for at least one interface - likely why the choice of displayed fields is missing for the Android interface now.

So now I find the only way to fix this is to go through 60,000 photos one by one and remove the data in the non standard fields because my Adobe Photo Suite can't see the video meta to edit it.....and anything that edits meta (Bulky) on a bulk level won't leave the fields blank.

Hi, there is no bulk edit feature but it’s planned for future updates.

It doesn't matter much.  Editors will not remove the release Year from the field, just modify it to a number between 1920 and 2025. 

So the only way to remove it is file by file, one by one.....
