Hi@all We’ve all been there before. The meta data gets messed up or is after an update (whether Infuse or Apple update). :expressionless: :person_in_lotus_position: :unamused: The movies can’t be kept apart correctly (like Total Recall 1990 and Total Recall 2012 to name just one example). …

ATM I use MKV Tag Editor from 3delite.hu to add the meta data to the file. Unfortunately I have to start a Windows VM for this. I haven’t found anything better than MKV Tag Editor (for MKV’s). For MP4 files I use MetaMovie from the Mac App Store. If I’m honest, it’s a bit of a pain and I wonder why …
