My video library is in MPEG-2 Transport stream (M2TS) files and MKV files (most of these are DVB-files with DVB subtitles). When importing these files - Plex ignores the metadata. If I remux to MP4, all the metadata shows up but I lose the metadata. Could you please add proper support for metadata …

MKV support is vital to my collection, I include subtitles a cover and all sorts of data added with mkvtoolnix and at this point Plex ignores my covers for example and just adds any cover. While this would be fine for some, there is no way to force Plex to choose my cover so I am always fixing them.…

Agreed - MKV is vital to my collection as well, since I embed subtitles. MP4 is listed as the preferred container, but it does NOT support image format subtitles. MKV is very common container, it is a shame it is not well supported by Plex Media Server.

Keep in mind Plex does a wonderful job as a whole with many different file types. Also keep in mind MKV is a great storage container but it isn’t a streaming container like MP4. There is only so much Plex can do to blur the lines between MKV and MP4 streaming wise and they do this really well. Gr…

This would be a much appreciated addition to Plex for me as well. And surely there are a lot of people that would benefit from this and haven’t upvoted this post. For example shows that have missing translations for all of the available agents. Also MKV is a popular choice if you want to build a col…

I found this too by creating a new issue. I am frankly shocked that this isn’t a regression and instead is by design. It’s a massive oversight given the limitations of MP4 containers. Edit: just double checked, following up with the reply on my previous post that claimed VP9 was a valid format in M…

[image] corgski: FFMPEG on my fully updated Ubuntu 20.04 system does not allow VP9 or Opus in mp4 containers … (I know it doesn’t address the broader feature request …) What version of FFmpeg? It should be supported in 4.0.x+. It’s possible to create or remux VP9+Opus in MP4 with FFmpeg. R…

I have an extensive library of personal MKV files from a re-cut, so none of the episodes line up with the original series, and all I get are dates for episode names. As previously mentioned by @cayars it would be nice if there was at least some way for MKV users to index episodes. If the MKV metadat…

Hi everyone. I have voted for this too and made a nod to it on the plex reddit along with another: have_plex_autofill_the_names_of_unmatched_episodes As it stands, your solution may only work with Prefer Local Metadata turned on (which then applies to the whole library). This is a pain if you don…

I would love for this feature to be added as well as I have many webm files with metadata embedded in them!

I found this by creating Extracting tags from webm files
