Need a Sample Video with Plex Metadata - Using for Tagging Tool Development

Dev Community Dev/API Corner

I have been in contact with the developer of a video metadata tagging tool. It works very well for Plex and most of the Plex video metadata fields. I have been unable to provide him with a sample file which includes metadata for Plex for the following fields:

  • Original Title
  • Tagline
  • Country
  • Rating
  • Labels
    If someone can provide me with a sample file (it can be a blank video) which contains data in those fields, he can read the file and quickly adapt his app to write to those fields. Alternately if someone can point me to another tool which I can use to write those tags to one of my video files, that would work too.

When his changes to the app are complete, I’ll post links to his app in the forums. It is an awesome utility and this last little capability will make it even better.

Thanks.

Not sure this will work. I mean, someone could provide a sample video but the second most important field(YEAR) isn’t looked at by PLEX. So, while PLEX can read alot of the embedded metadata you will still have a 50%/50%(or less) chance of a correct match.

Take a look at this post for more information about PLEX reading the year.

It seems that embedded metadata gives people problems/headaches more than helps.
