Metadata Extraction from M4V Video
Posted: Sun Oct 14, 2012 7:53 pm
Hello,
I have a collection of my (owned) DVDs encoded via Handbrake and tagged with MetaX, iVI Pro and Subler. They playback just great via Serviio 1.0.1 to my Sony BDP-S590 using the Bravia 2012 (US) profile.
I have these movies in my local iTunes Movies folder and Serviio is set to scan the same 'Movies' folder. The titles show up, but none of the embedded metadata gets extracted and/or presented via the playback menu's interface. For example, the 'Genre' folder displays 'Unknown' and all of the movies are included within.
I set the 'Descriptive metadata' drop-down on the Serviio console to 'No descriptive metadata', since I want to use the embedded tags - when I specify 'Online metadata sources' the results are not what I want (i.e. it works fine, but the genres don't line up with what I've set in the file and it makes finding things difficult for me).
Should Serviio be able to read the metadata for M4V files encoded as above for Apple TV or do I need to explore another metadata solution? FWIW, I tried MyMovies last night, but I wasn't able to get any of that metadata to show up via Serviio, so I gave up on that approach.
Thanks in advance for any pointers / suggestions anyone can provide.
