Serviio

Hi guys,

I'm currently looking for a new DLNA server (since the one that I was using was running on my now dead Mac Mini that has been replaced by a Windows 8 system) and until now, Serviio looked impressive to me.

But there is one thing that is bugging me a lot : Serviio seems unable to read my M4V embedded metadatas. I have a full collection of tagged movies that are all stored in their own folder and thus are all named "movie.m4v", the title being embedded as a tag ("title"). But Serviio keeps on saying that my movies are named "movie", thus using the name of the file instead of the title tag !

It doesn't even read the year or the genre that are all embedded !

Is there a way to set Serviio to use the embedded tags ?


Thanks by advance,

Eric.

Serviio load metadata (title, description, etc) from the online databases, if available (or local file : XBMC nfo )

I think embedded metadata are only for audio file.

Thanks Illico, but I hope you are wrong. Because it makes Serviio unusable for anything but theater movies or TV Shows. And we all have a lot of family movies that are (obvisouly) referenced nowhere but still needs to be displayed propely by a DLNA server by reading their tags (title, year and genre).

EDIT : OK, I've reread your message and maybe the solution is to have .nfo files for each video. I could live with this and will try it tonight, but it is still a pain to have to create .nfo files for informations that already are in the movies.

Confirm Embedded metadata from videos is not used/supported.
