hi,   I have a number of Home Video files. They are all named by data and event: 0430 Birthday.mp4   I want to edit the metadata into the file that it can already be read during an import - and no editing with Plex is needed. So I can avoid headaches when the DB crashes or similar .. any details are in the file.   I found the MetaX to edit many metadata details .... But how can I brind in the "Sort Title" ?!?!?   Thanks Michael ---

I’m not certain of this, but I don’t think there is a metadata tag for “Sort Title” that embeds in video files. ---
