metadata editing

Reported by: hfswjyr Assigned to: fkuehne
Priority: normal Milestone: 0.9.0 bugs
Component: Mac OS X interface Version: master
Severity: normal Keywords:
Cc: funman, fkuehne Platform(s): all
Difficulty: unknown Work status: Not started

Description (Last modified by jb)

1. When you click "save metadata" VLC does not give any indication that anything has been done. Perhaps it should close the windows, or show "Saved".

2. You can save Title, Artist, Album/movie/show title, Genre, Date, Track number/position. Nothing else seems to work.

3. You can edit the metadata of song A if song A is currently playing/loaded. If you try to edit the metadata of song B while song A is playing/loaded, the metadata "editor" window changes to song A.

1. is an easy Qt4 issue to do.

2. must be linked to taglib... funman?

3. is because of the broken way update does work.

Now only rating and language remain in the interface

08/20/07 18:20:12 changed by funman

And there is no rating or language field defined in ogg/vorbis specification. Maybe there is one informal specification for these fields, or we could have our own like:

"LANGUAGE" = 3 letters COUNTRY ISO CODE (ISO 3166-1 alpha3) like in id3v2.4 "RATING" = string representing an int ≥0 and ≤10

so metadata set in vlc would display well in vlc, but that's a problem when interacting with other players.

If you find a ogg/vorbis with such tags set by another program please let me know

the previous comment apply also to APE/MPC/FLAC, since FLAC uses vorbis comments, and APE/MPC use APE tags: simple "key":"value" without other specification

As of [21336] 2. should be ok (except for rating, but this is a huge thing to implement, and we need media library first !)
