Title: Cannot see "Title" file property in MC
Post by: daveg on August 12, 2014, 07:09:19 am

Most of my video files have the "title" field populated (If you look at the file properties). I can only see this in windows explorer and no matter what I try, I cannot get that column/value to show up in MC.
Am I missing something simple? 
For most of these files, the values are not the same, and I would like to be able to update the title field in MC. It is a real pain to bulk update them through Windows explorer

Thanks

Hi

That's because "Title" field is the "Name" Field in MC. Config your view/list to show column or grouping with that and it will sort it self out :)

Thanks for the reply, but that is not entirely accurate.
Here are my steps....Go to windows, find a file, then fill in the name and title field with the same values... Go to mc and change the value in the name field. When you go back to windows and check, the "title" field will not be updated. I need this field to be updated as well, or someway to update it in MC

My apologies --  didn't read your post carefully enough. I was thinking audio not video files.  Out of curiosity why tag them in Windows? Some external player uses those tags? Editing software?

Anyway someone else want to chime in please? I think it can't be done other than to create a custom field "Title" in MC which again would work for audio, but not with video (only tried with MKV files though ).

Not sure about this one, sorry OP.

MC doesn't support writing tags to video files yet. Sorry.

Ok, thanks...at least I can stop trying to figure this out now.

I am using playon to record netflix and for some reason, that program fills the title field....perhaps I can engage them to stop that process. 

perhaps a new MC 20 feature??? (which I have already purchased)

Has been almost a couple of years now...You had mentioned that MC does not do this "Yet"....any update, or plans for this.
Thanks

Why is tagging WMV files useful?  I know MC writes to them.  But why would you want it to?
