Not reading WM tags

[jens]

Mediacoder 0.5.1-r1

Unable to read any WMA tags. WMA metadata is seen in the file details (F8), but fields are not filled out above.

Screenshot:


Other tags are read OK in Mediacoder (flac, ape, mp3)

WM Tags are read fine in other apps (like Winamp 5.2x, importing into Itunes 7, etc)

Thanks for working on Media Coder!!

Same problem here...
All the tags are visible in the large text box but all the actual fields are empty. The WMA tags are therefore not transferred when converted into another format.
Stanley, would you please fix this in the next release?
Many Thanks!

Hey stanley,
I just saw your other post about WMA tags.
Anyways, I found more information regarding this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/defau ... _Usage.asp

It seems that the Windows Media Format SDK could read many if not all of the tags off WMA files.

Though I am not sure, I believe a file named "WMFSDKWrapper.dll" is used to read these tags.

I hope this is some help.

If not, I also found a lot of things in the SDK that is of interest:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsmedia/ ... fault.aspx

WMFSDK11 :: C:\WMSDK\WMFSDK11 :: wmformat.chm

Programming Guide :: Working with Metadata

The help file has a lot of documentation on the functions used to retrieve metadata from WMF files.

Thanks for the info. I will improve this as soon as I get free.

Hey stanley.
Is this implemented yet? I am still not able to read WM tags while using release r8.
Thanks.

Still not in there yet as I can see.
I have made a donation to MediaCoder with my main request being adding WMA tag reading support.

I also have taken the liberty of adding a note to the Troubleshooting section of the wiki.

I'm sure he'll squish that bug out eventually. Give him time.

Thanks for patience BlinkN!
