If anyone wants to help with this, you can show you support by making a post in the following threads at All that's left to do is make a plea to the community to show support for this functionality by letting the developers know that there is a real need out there. Only the developer of PuddleTag responded saying he would consider it for the future. The best tagging programs out there for Windows and Linux respectively. I also made pleas to the developers of mp3Tag, and PuddleTag. I did make a plea to the developer of mkvpropedit to consider developing a GUI for his tool, but he replied that is is not interested in GUI programming. I did consider the possibility of scripting, (bash in my case as I'm using ubuntu) but I think it would be beyond my abilities for the functionality I'm looking for. It is much easier than using mkvpropedit for me at least and is my preferred method until something else comes along. I ended up researching even further after posting here and ended up discovering how to edit "Tags" with MKVToolNix as well. This is still useful if you want to say, set the default audio track to be played or even disable a track (without having to delete it).įor tag viewing/editing, I found this useful posting. they are in fact called "fields" or "properties" from the file/track headers. what I was describing above was NOT tags. If anyone writes any batch files or scripts, please share here But hopefully this info will help anyone trying to view and edit the tags/properties in their mkv files. I haven't written any batch files yet so I can't share anything. Note: mkvpropedit does NOT read the existing tags, instead use mkvinfo for reading the tags. You could use mkvpropedit to bulk-edit your tags across a bunch of files by writing a windows batch file to loop over the files and call mkvpropedit on each file. To edit the tags from a command line, use " mkvpropedit.exe" (located in the same directory with all the other tools). To view and save the tag info to a text file from a command line, use mkvinfo.exe (located with all the other tools eg "c:\Program Files (x86)\MKVToolNix").Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\MKVToolNix\mkvinfo.exe myfile.mkvĮxample of saving tag listing to a text file:Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\MKVToolNix\mkvinfo.exe -r c:\outputfile.txt myfile.mkv To view and save the tag info to a text file from a GUI, use " mkvinfo GUI" from the Start menu. Don't forget to do a save on the file after editing. Open your mkv file in the header editor and you can view/edit most if not all tags directly. Open Header Editor from the File menu (or ctrl-e). Launch " mkvmerge GUI" from the Start menu. =P Still better than remuxing everything. Until then I'll just be a hunt
