Thank you for your time. I'm just wondering if custom metadata fields that can be displayed as columns in the lister could be added as a feature at some point? The problem I'm having is that I have many different file-types that don't all support the same metadata fields. For example, I have copi…

The problem with custom metadata is (correct me if this is not correct) it needs to be stored in a ADS . While these are nice in that they allow storing of extra data. They are problematic as they are easily lost when a file is copied around. Often the data loss is silent due the tool or target not …

I'd honestly be willing to take the risk of potential metadata loss if that is a problem (and of course tackle how that could be solved as well). If I loose the metadata of a single file that isn't a huge deal, I can always re input it. I've already had that happen to me a few times thanks to windo…

Thank you for taking the time to look, appreciate it!

[image] evernessince: it's still a lot of grunt work. I hear you. I'm sure many people would like custom metadata fields. [image] evernessince: I'm up for any solution that would make the situation better. Do you keep all your files in one big folder, or one folder per video? I would …

I recently wrote a program for own use to extract some metadata from offline and online databases like IMDB, TMDB, RT, etc. which can fetch and store various information like director, actors, ratings, links to those dat…

[image] cyilmaz: but MKV support is basically non-existent, neither in Thumbnails view I get MKV thumbnails here. I think support is built in to Windows 10 these days. But if you've installed something that messes with the registry or splitter/codecs then it could have broken things, perhaps. …

[image] Leo: I get MKV thumbnails here. My bad, on second read I haven't put it clearly :slight_smile: MKV thumbnails are also shown on my computer but the embedded cover art is not shown, at least not as MP4 cover art is shown, i.e. MP4 automatically shows from multiple embedded cover Front …

You need to use icaros as a file property handler to show front covers for MKV's.
