Since the metadata is contained in an SQL database, the only way to edit the information is using an SQL client. I've used Squirrel SQL client to view the metadata. This is a Java based client (freeware), so I'm pretty sure it works with a Mac.

Serviio uses a Derby embedded database, which only allows a single connection. This means you cannot access the database while Serviio is running, as it is using the only allowed connection. Once you've stopped the Serviio process, you can open the database and edit the data. However, I urge caution unless you know your way around an SQL database. Edit the wrong information and the database becomes unusable.

Users have requested the ability to use an alternate database, such as MySQL, which would allow multiple connections and open the potential for someone to create a library maintenance application. However, that would take a lot of effort for the developers, so it's likely not a high priority at this time.

I would like to edit the metadata directly on the file not the database. I know windows has program called avicm I think its called. I am looking for a OSX equivalent.

Gotcha. No suggestions, then.
