Meta Data Tool Window

This tool can be accessed from the settings window and allows you to select a video file and get a list of all meta data found in it. This tool is intended to be used together with the $(metadata) tag, both was added in version 1.3 of Stekeblads Video Uploader.

Click on the Pick Video File button to open the file picker and select a video file to analyze. Meta data can not be extracted from all video types and that is a limitation of the library used to find meta data (its more complicated than it may sound at first). If a video file of a supported format is selected it will be scanned for meta data and it will be displayed in the big table that takes up most of the window.

In the left column is the name of the meta data field and in the right column is the data stored, below is an example:

meta name	meta data
Title	This Title is Amazing (part 1)
Genre	Comedy

With this tool you find the meta name you need to use the $(metadata) tag. If you for example want to add the title from the meta data as the title of your videos on YouTube the tag will look like this:

$(metadata:title)

In this example the result will be "This Title is Amazing (part 1)"

If you for example want to use the genre in the description, but if the video file does not contain the genre field or meta data could not be extracted from the file at all you want to use "Gaming" as fallback you do like this:

The genre of this video: $(metadata:genre,Gaming)

In this example the result will be "The genre of this video: Comedy"
