Re: For MP4 video title, does MM5 use audio track title instead?

Apologies, I wasn't notified of your reply. I'm using MM 5.0.4.2693 and the MP4 files are mostly from Handbrake. I can see from the chart that for the MP4 title, it states "Yes (©nam, [titl])". So the Yes means that the title is stored in the media file tag, but also that [titl] is not wri...

For MP4 video title, does MM5 use audio track title instead?

Hi, I've been using MM5 to edit the metadata of MP4 files, and it seems to me that when the video doesn't include a title in its metadata, MM5 uses the title of its audio track instead. Names like 'Stereo' are quite common. I can clear the video title in MM5, and can see that the MP4 file has been u...

Re: Sync to Android issues

Brian, My Samsung tablet appears as 'Card' and 'Tablet' in MM5 when connected via USB. Both devices are showing as connected. I've never tried syncing to either target, but the option to do so is certainly available. You mentioned that 'Card' and 'Tablet' never appear in your list as 'Connected', bu...

Re: MM5 library takes two runs to fully refresh

Hi, yes, I'd fully expect the problem to go away if I use MM to move/delete files. But I'd prefer to carry on running MM twice, rather than make that change in my use case, because my file/folder management (other than file auto renaming) is done outside of MM. I can see that a safeguard is needed, ...

Re: MM5 library takes two runs to fully refresh

Hi Peke, I question whether it's normal behaviour, since on the 1st run there's no popup for the option to 'locate/moved missing tracks'. Maybe this is the fundamental issue. Those deleted items 'silently' remain in the MM library listing until the 2nd run. Next time it happens I could try manually ...

Re: MM5 library takes two runs to fully refresh

It's 5.0.4.2690 and yes, 'Remove Unavailable Items' is enabled.

And unavailable items are always removed on the 2nd invocation.

MM5 library takes two runs to fully refresh

Hi, I've had this behaviour for months (maybe always), but have just lived with it ... Whenever I move or remove tracks from my music collection (in file explorer, say) on the next run of MM5 the old tracks are still listed in the library (although if I select one of the tracks the album art is blan...

Re: JPG artwork displayed for MP4 videos, but only on initial scan

Thank you !! Infer properties was already off. No matter, I just renamed the folder from '28' to '28 Later'. That was enough for it to be included in the library. Had a similar problem with '10 Cloverfield Lane' and '21 Years a Slave' movies - they were added as TV programs, even though they were un...

Re: JPG artwork displayed for MP4 videos, but only on initial scan

Ah, ok. Thank you. Now I have the dilemma, whether to re-structure my entire movie collection. Urgh. Another minor quirk, I have a folder named '28' containing movies '28 Days Later' and '28 Weeks Later', which are both omitted from the library. I suspect that MM5 is treating them as the 28th episod...

Re: JPG artwork displayed for MP4 videos, but only on initial scan

That worked. Interesting.

Not a feasible workaround because Plex expects the filename to be the same.

Re: JPG artwork displayed for MP4 videos, but only on initial scan

Just tried that on a folder that had 3 movies, creating 3 sub-folders with one MP4 and JPG in each ... didn't help. I realise now that the initial scan was done with MM4. So I just tried removing movies from the library that were showing the artwork, then re-scanning. These are now missing the artwo...

Re: JPG artwork displayed for MP4 videos, but only on initial scan

Yes, the option to scan file directories for artwork is enabled.

The MP4 and JPG are always in the same folder, but there can be other movies (MP4 +JPG pairs) in the same folder.

Version 5.0.1.2433.

JPG artwork displayed for MP4 videos, but only on initial scan

Hi, I have a Plex collection of MP4 movies, with JPG posters of the same filename for most but not all of these movies. First time I scanned this collection into MM5, these JPGs are displayed as artwork, no problem. Note that the movies are not tagged with the artwork - these are just JPGs sharing t...

Re: iPod classic running Rockbox is treated as an iPod

Hi,

I tried moving the hidden iPod_Control folder from the F: drive to the E: drive, but still MM uses d_iPod.dll for F: and d_WMDM.dll for E:.

If it was just the other way round, I'd be golden :-)

Re: iPod classic running Rockbox is treated as an iPod

Hi, yes, I will PM the file listing.

When I moved the .dll out of the plugins folder, only the E: drive shows up when I connect the iPod.
