Okay this kicks butt.
Thanks!!!
I can probably rip out this terribly inefficient code that I use for sub and audio selection from a tablet.
Hendrik:
The next build has a new entry in Library Tools to only run the new analysis on existing files, without messing with existing tag data etc.
Further changes with more data will be coming shortly as we update some external libraries with added features.
comox:
Please consider adding to future changes the ability to update tags from library for a few key fields like [Name], [Date], and [Genre].
This would improve the viewing and organizing experience of videos exported to devices like phones.
It also would make MC unique since no apps that I'm aware of do a nice job of writing video tags.
I sometimes wonder if this omission was an quietly agreed convention between app developers since making it easy to write video tags would break video torrents.
Hendrik:
We do not currently plan to write tags to video files, sorry. Software support for writing video tags is very limited, especially without re-writing the entire file, which would take quite some time for video files.
This is also rather off-topic for this thread, please open a new one or use an existing one that is more appropriate.

Thanks Hendrik!

Looks like this EAC3+Atmos variant is not yet identified, MC tags it with [Audio Codec] = "E-AC3", but empty [Audio Title]. Atmos is not mentioned anywhere:
Audio #1
ID : 2
Format : E-AC-3 JOC
Format/Info : Enhanced AC-3 with Joint Object Coding
Commercial name : Dolby Digital Plus with Dolby Atmos
Codec ID : A_EAC3
Title : (empty)
On a few files the [Audio Title] gets populated with a mix of tech info and track comentary - perhaps this should be 2 different fields, [Audio Title] and [Audio Commentary] ?
[Audio Codec] : DTS-HD MA;AC-3
[Audio Title] : DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1;Commentary from 2003 by Director Ridley Scott, Writer Dan O'Bannon, Executive Producer Ronald Shusett, Editor Terry Rawlings and Actors Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skeritt, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton and John Hurt
On some other files the [Audio Title] is completely empty, perhaps because MC is reading an empty commentary string into the field.
@Comox: you can add a button to the MC toolbar to run something like this on the selected file:
mkvpropedit "[filename]" --set "title=[Name]"
(sorry for another off-topic Hendrik)
