Metadata, artwork & inspection
Inspect source identity, match providers and protect manual edits.
Find and inspect a title#
- Open Metadata studio and search using Find media to edit.
- Use the unmatched/provider-identifier filter when diagnosing unknown titles.
- Open the item's details/inspection control. Compare Indexed title, File / folder, Server path, Parent folder context, Media identity and Identifiers.
- Inspect opens read-only folder/file context, indexed status and conflicts. Open folders, preview a browser-compatible original file, match it or edit its metadata using the relevant item controls.
An original-file preview has fewer compatibility options than the Media Center. If it cannot decode a file, try the actual player before assuming the file is broken. Inspection does not move or rewrite source files.
Find the correct provider match#
Choose Find the right…, enter Title and optional Year, then Search providers. The form sends those values to enabled metadata services. Review the returned provider/year/identifiers before selecting a match. An empty result is not a fabricated match: correct the title, year or provider ID and try again.
Edit metadata#
| Field | Values and side effects |
|---|---|
| Title | Required display title. |
| Release year | Numeric year, form bounds 1800–2200. Leave blank when unknown. |
| TMDB identifier | Numeric provider identifier when known. |
| IMDb identifier | Provider identifier such as a verified tt… value. |
| Episode / Season number | Non-negative numbering for the appropriate media type. |
| Episode display order | Series-only Aired, DVD or Absolute; provider availability varies. |
| Synopsis | Editable descriptive text. |
Save changes locks edited fields against automatic provider refresh. Re-open the item to check the result. Correct an edit through the same form; there is no separately implemented universal unlock/reset-artwork workflow in this panel.
Provider preferences and artwork#
Under Library providers, open a library and set Enable online metadata providers, Metadata language (English, Hindi, French, German, Spanish, Japanese) and a two-letter Country code. Save, then deliberately refresh affected media. The per-library add/edit dialog also exposes provider priority when available.
Artwork arrives through available local/online metadata. Refresh consults enabled providers for metadata and artwork and can use the network. The app does not expose a general standalone artwork-upload editor; do not look for one in this guide. Existing album art stays distinct from the decorative branded disc.
