= Introduction =
<section begin="intro" />{{kodi}} v18 introduces limited support for reading of embedded tags and images in '''*.mkv''' and '''*.mp4''' video files. A very sought after feature for many members.<section end="intro" />
mp4 tags are standardized, but only for a rather small subset of the the information kodi can use, see above.. (spiff)
TV Shows are not yet supported.
= Settings =
The {{kodi}} settings has the option to enable or disable the reading of video file tags. The default setting is disabled.<br />
{{red|link to settings page here- Settings>Media Settings>Videos>Use video tags}}
= Folder & File Structure =
The use of Video File Tags does not absolve you from using the correct Folder and File structure for Movies, TV Shows and [[Music_videos|Music Videos]] as detailed in the previous pages. Use the navbox above to locate and read those requirements.
= Tagging =
There's currently no proper video tagging software that's user-friendly. (martijn)
<section begin="Windows" />
mp3tag.
MetaX is a user friendly tagging solution, However it is proprietary and paid ($10). It features much the same core features as MP3tag, but adds an online search functionality to grab metadata from providers such as iTunes, Amazon and others, as well as an autotag feature. This can be useful to people with enormous media collections where the time saved manually tagging justifies the price.
<section end="Windows" />
other software
= Supported Tags =
{{red|are the tags in this table for both mkv and mp4?}}
{{red|Is it ok to remove the music related tags? Are they separated accurately?}}
{{red|I cannot find these video related tags in mp3tag}}
{{red|What format is this- id3, APE, Generic, MP4, other?}}
{{red|IMDBURL/TMDBURL is this one tag or two separate tags?}}
