Yes, due to the very annoying @OttoKerner and the level of my OCD, I recently had to re-arrange the sequence of ‘pre-processing’ here at Juice-Central. Xmedia Recode writes mystery global tags into MKVs. This never was an issue and I can’t even find what’s being written and where and Plex doesn’t react - good or bad - to those global tags, but they’re there, none the less and now I have to remove them with MKVToolNix before they go in the library.
I’ve been trying to figure it out, because I have a lot of TV Show “special features” that are not in any database, and I encode MKV. I’ve started encoding those files as MP4 and tagging them sp Plex has something to find for the title, but, I’d rather encode as MKV and I’d rather not convert hundreds of files to MP4 just to be able to tag them in a way that Plex can read.
Plex isn’t SUPPOSED to be able to read MKV tags, but someone figured out how to make it do it.
Also, I wonder if I’ve stepped into a friendly ribbing or a long standing dispute…
