Windows 10: File Explorer Properties Details tab not showing all attributes of video meta data/tags

I am on HP Pavilion x360 with windows 10 1903.

I have observed that details tab of file properties in windows explorer shows all attributes of mp4 files like artists, director, year etc. while for mkv files it just shows director, producer and missing other attributes such as artists, year, release date whereas xml tag file in mkv contians all these tags.

Here's a screenshot for mp4






And here's for mkv








Here are xml tags for mkv

Windows Explorer/file Properties Details not displaying tags


I'm trying to tag documents so they can be found easily but I don't have the option to add a tag to a file. The Details panel in my Windows Explorer does not display tags in the list of properties. Also, when I right-click a file, go to Properties and then click the Details tab, tags are not listed there either.

Is there a way to turn this feature on? Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Windows Explorer not showing change in MP3 meta tag data...?


Hi, works for me- e.g. deleting album name in mp3tag, then viewing that via properties, the album name had vanished as expected.

Windows Explorer not showing change in MP3 meta tag data...?


I have a program that changes meta data in MP3 files. I use it to change certain fields, and it works.

However, afterwards when I right click the the MP3 file and choose Properties->Details, it shows no change. But when I open the same MP3 file in an audio program (eg. Audacity) and look at the tags, it shows the change has been made. Is this a bug in Windows?
(This happens on a few PCs, not just one. And I did run sfc /scannow)
