MKA tags recognized by Jellyfin - valmar - 2024-05-19
Dear All,
I have some MKA files to which I added some global tags using mkvmerge. VLC sees the tags correctly
I added the MKA tags to my Jellyfin music library and I can play them just fine. However, Jellyfin just adds the files using the file names, without extracting any tags.
I was wondering: does anyone know if there is any tag format for MKA files that Jellyfin recognizes? Or if it is possible to "tag" the files using an external ".nfo" or ".cue" file?
Thank you for your help!!!!
Valerio

I don't think the library we are using actually supports matroska tags.

Ah OK, thanks! Do you know if there is a way to add "tags" via a NFO file or a CUE file?

We don't have that for musics yet, and you'd have to manually input the metadata using the editor and lock for future changes.
We may implement a way to fallback to ffprobe to provide metadata for unsupported containers. ffprobe does have its limitation though, as it does not read all tag fields, but it should be better than nothing.

Hello, we should have basic mka support after https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/11859 is merged.
This only extract a very limited number of tags using ffprobe but should be better than nothing.
