Matroska custom tags?

[jimlynnjulian]

Hello,

Does MediaInfo recognize the custom tags allowed by MAtroska?

Thank you, Jim Julian

Hi, I came across an issue with custom tags, that the mkvmerge dev believes is a bug in mediainfo. Please check my report https://codeberg.org/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/6082

dev believes is a bug in mediainfo.

It is likely that, we need to improve this part in our code.

Do you have anything planned regarding this? Can you give any time estimate? Thanks.

Do you have anything planned regarding this?

Yes and no: yes because it is something nasty and we want to show as many tags as possible soon, no because it is not a priority of our sponsors so not in our work plans.

Can you give any time estimate

When someone is interested to develop it. Note that you can prioritize this ticket.

This is honestly because you are not using the tag correctly. The bug in mediainfo is that it doesn't display ones without a target type. If you properly set the target type it is displayed.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE Tags SYSTEM "matroskatags.dtd">
<Tags>
    <Tag> <!-- Source Tagging, Track specific -->
        <Targets>
            <TargetTypeValue>70</TargetTypeValue>
        </Targets>
        <Simple>
            <Name>Source</Name>
            <String>With TargetTypeValue</String>
        </Simple>
    </Tag>
</Tags>

I used 70 here given it is the highest, there isn't really a definition for which one you should use, either 70 or 30 would make sense to be used. See https://www.matroska.org/technical/tagging.html for the tagging spec.

You can see not setting a target type makes it go to the general section.
