Media Centre Nonsense....
Hi guys,
Does anyone know how to get AVI tags to appear in Windows Media Centre? Just as there's a fair few films on my hdds and it'd be good if I could have a bit of info on the film without having to back out to check the file in Windows when I'm in the Media Centre bit. Any suggestions gratefully accepted!
AVI doesn't technically support metadata - any app which claims to do so is using one of about 43 incompatible attempts to provide the functionality by third parties - and as such, don't expect windows MCE to work with itOriginally Posted by Fat Gat
Cheers fella, at least now I know!
Have you tried enquiring here: http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/default.aspx I haven't read those forums for a while, but I recall posts in the past from people trying to get .avi files to play 'properly' in MCE so I imagine they are recognised in MCE some how.
HTH
the files ought to be recognised fine - but the AVI format is very simple, and doesn't natively allow you to assign extra data so a file
Yeah they play fine, was just wanting to see the info that I'd tagged them with like actors, blurb, genre etc.
Looks like I'm going to have try and find a 3rd party app that plugs into MCE to get this to work if one exists, the hunt begins....
it won't be for MCE per say, it will be for WMP.
Ogg tags is the one i had too do for my music, which is mostly flac, the plugin allowed WMP too see the meta data in the format it expects and it all began too work!
