How to tag an mkv file?

[ron999]

Hi
Has anybody had success applying tags to an mkv file?

In this example here:- http://www.matroska.org/technical/sp...ple-video.html
It shows how to add a simple tag using an xml file.
And some more information here:-http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/...kvmerge.1.html


For example:-

This is the xml file for Dune:-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE Tags SYSTEM "matroskatags.dtd">
<Tags>
  <!-- movie -->
  <Tag>
    <Targets>
      <TargetTypeValue>50</TargetTypeValue>
    </Targets>
    <Simple>
      <Name>TITLE</Name>
      <String>Dune</String>
    </Simple>
    <Simple>
      <Name>DIRECTOR</Name>
      <String>David Lynch</String>
    </Simple>
    <Simple>
      <Name>DATE_RELEASED</Name>
      <String>1984</String>
    </Simple>
    <Simple>
      <Name>COMMENT</Name>
      <String>Great sci-fi movie</String>
    </Simple>
  </Tag>
</Tags>

So that file is saved as dune.xml

Then you have your movie foo.mkv

And use a command like this:-

mkvmerge -o output.mkv --global-tags dune.xml foo.mkv

That's supposed to tag the output.mkv file with the information.
But I can't seem to get it to work.
When it's finished I would expect to be able to read the tags using mediainfo or with VLC's > Tools > Media information.

I've also tried tagging using the mkvmergeGUI, by adding the xml file in Global > Tag file
Doesn't seem to work either.
