    Can't change metadata in Window 10


    I'm trying to add a rating to an MKV video file using the five stars.However I can't access them or any other metadata using Windows Explorer.I have checked that I own the files and that they are not read only.When I go to the file's Properties the dialog has General/Details/Previous Versions as tabs and when I go into Details the metadata is listed. However when I right click on a field it highlights but I can't alter it.Please help

    :)

    Can't see music metadata in Windows Explorer

    I can't see the music metadata on Windows Explorer. I was trying to solve the problem using intructions from here. It doesn't work.

    After installing Windows and drivers I have instlled K-Lite Mega Codec Pack and VLC. Normally, after installing those programs and rebooting of the system metadata was appearing in Explorer. I do not know what went wrong...

    OS: Windows 10 Pro N 64 - may it be caused by the "N" version? I bought european version without WMP. WMP can be necessary to viev metadata?

    WMC and Metadata

    I just got my HTPC setup and I just added images for all my movies and I'm working on TV shows. But I now want to add metadata, I tried Yammm, but it did nothing. I would almost liek to just add my own. I want to have synopsis's even for my TV shows which I think all the programs out there only fetch info off IMBD. Any suggestions?

    Music Metadata grabber

    Been working on sorting movies/tv shows/music and looking for something thats free and grabs metadata for my music files. I could do it all manually, but having something that helps would be nice. Anyone got a suggestion?
