videos not getting tagged when tagged in windows
I tagged all my photos and videos in windows (jpg/mp4), but in aves, only the jpgs are tagged. none of the mp4 are tagged. move them back to windows and they are all tagged there.
it appears that if i have only one video per tag it shows. if i have 4 images and a video tagged, only the images show as tagged.

Is that the tag you set in Windows?
If so, please note that they are not standard, it's a Windows specific way of tagging. For now I'm undecided whether i will support that kind of vendor specific tags.

it is windows yes. like i said, if there is only one video tagged instead of multiple it shows in aves. this video for example shows tagged in aves because it is the only thing tagged adachi and shimamura

The second video is not tagged the same way: it contains both an XMP tag (supported by Aves), and the Windows specific tag (like the first sample video). So it's normal that the 2nd video tag appears in Aves, it is unrelated with the number of videos with that tag.
Did you tag these 2 videos in different ways in Windows? What program do you use, exactly? (I don't have Windows to test this myself.)
they were both tagged in file explorer windows 11. exact same way. only difference being i only selected this one file and tagged where as ones that dont show in aves, i selected multiple files at once and tagged
then windows probably doesn't apply the XMP tags when batch processing videos
Hi
I have the same issue i set multiple tags and ratings in Windows and when i sync the file to my phone the tags and ratings don't show and vice versa. It would really help if Aves and Windows would be able to sync tags and ratings

Videos? Images? What kind of tags are written by Windows that are not detected by Aves?
Videos. Image tags sync just fine. I suppose they are not written the same way ? For videos for exemple if I add the tag "cat" in a video I see it with Windows Explorer when adding the tag column but in Aves there is nothing. Same if I do the opposite (add the tag in Aves) I do not see the tag in Windows Explorer. Weirdly enough if I use exiftool I see the tag I set in Aves under "subject"
Aves writes tags in the XMP "subject" field, which is standard for images, but probably not for videos.
Could you provide a sample video that you tagged on Windows?
Yes here's an exemple https://github.com/deckerst/aves/assets/103353220/29b609a7-fa1c-42a6-87ea-c6a20ed98a2b
