MetaX for Windows mentions (3)

  • Is it possible to retain custom thumbnails?
    As others have said, Handbrake doesn't passthru cover art or thumbnail images. If you wished to add cover art to a Handbrake encoded video file, use MetaX. It's not free, but will add cover art and text that Plex, iTunes etc. Will all recognize. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • noob chapter question?
    MetaX tags videos, adding cover art, genres etc. And allows you to specify a chapter interval and create chapters to fit the length of each file. It will tag a single file or a batch of files in a single process. MetaX is not free. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Can I copy Plex metadata to my files?
    MetaX works great on MKVs on Windows. You can find it here: http://danhinsley.com/metax/metax.html. Source: almost 3 years ago

FileBot mentions (3)

  • Filebot does not work on DSM 6.2.4
    Not everyone will be going to 7.0 right away. Many will delay; some for a while. And as 6.2.4 gets out, filebot.net may end up with a lot of unhappy users (especially if 7.0 is delayed). Source: about 3 years ago
  • Filebot does not work on DSM 6.2.4
    The filebot staff has stated they will not be prioritizing this issue. To quote rednoah at filebot.net, " There is no ETA for DSM 6.2.4 support, mainly due to DSM 6.2.4 not being available for the majority (?) of Synology devices yet. Plus DSM 7.0 is right around the corner which is already supported. ". (See the filebot forum posting here. Source: about 3 years ago
  • Subtitles for foreign languages. Help me figure this out.
    I would use filebot.net with https://www.opensubtitles.org/ to find and add the srt files, but not sure if that will accomplish what I want. Source: about 3 years ago
