Embedded Metadata in mkv File -- Format ? XML ?

[IronAddict]

Hi There,

I've finally cleaned up many messy metadata in my MVK files using the MKVtoolnix and JMkvpropedit and SQLite tools .... I've made sure that all my MKV embedded titles are correct. There still remain a few where there are embedded "global tags" that Mezzmo picks up to overwrite the Filename when doing a search for a title.

Here's my question ... Is there a format that Mezzmo likes in the embedded MKV file Metadata that i could put the IMDB reference #? the title i already know ... Simply put, is there a tagged data structure of metadata that will make sure that if i were to delete the entire Mezzmo DB and start fresh would assure me that i dont have to manually do the "properties, search, etc." route for hundreds of file?

As ever thanks very much ... no rush on this .. just curious ..

You're support is always awesome and great product.

The current version of Mezzmo (v4.1.3.0) does not read the IMDB id from metadata and use it for online metadata lookups. Rather it uses (for movies) the movie name & year and (for TV shows) the TV series name, season and episode. As long as you have this information either in the filename, or embedded in the video file as text metadata, or inside an associated external metadata file (.XML, .NFO, .TGMD), then Mezzmo should find the matching text metadata and artwork from online metadata sites such as www.themoviedb.org and www.thetvdb.com.
