Carnac and Video Files?
« on: March 05, 2021, 03:58:44 pm »

I've read the following from JRiver's Carnac page (https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Carnac):

"When reading tags from a file on a fresh import, or when doing Update Library (from tags), Carnac will only fill previously empty fields. It makes no changes at all to fields that are already present, or which come from an embedded file tag, or sidecar XML file. It only fills fields that are empty when the rest of the Import process completes."


Regardless of whether they're empty or not: what Video File fields never/ever have data applied to them by Carnac, "embedded file tags", or "sidecar XML files"? 

That is, what fields are guaranteed to stay static, if or until, I manually add/delete/modify their them? 

If only the following fields do NOT meet my question, then is it safe to conclude all other fields meet my above question?

NOTE: I appended this question onto the following interrelated post: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,128783.msg894271.html#msg894271 in hopes that it would catch the eyes and a reply from the guru's within there....
