In RealMedia files (.rm) (video / audio stream) the
following tags are missing:

- Title
- PlayTime (in the video stream *all* tags are named
PlayTime, and not PlayTime/String...)
- Album
- Track/Position
- (Recorded_)Date
- Genre
- Comment

The PlayTime tags in the General stream (here an
example of a 28 second video clip with correct
PlayTimes in both, the Video and Audio stream) are
incorrect:

PlayTime : Title of clip
PlayTime/String : 10h 3mn
PlayTime/String1 : 10h 3mn 21s 632ms
PlayTime/String2 : 10h 3mn
PlayTime/String3 : 10:03:21.632

    For tags, I need file examples, because I have no file with it.
    For playtime, Accepted, I have the same problem with my
    example files.

    This bug was added some versions ago already. It worked
    correctly with version 0.4.0.1 and 0.5.1.0 at least.
    Viewing the current source code and the hexdump of some
    RealMedia files, it seems to be just a typo or cut+paste
    error.

    In source file "File_Rm.cpp" function "File_Rm::Cont" you
    need to change the string label of the first sub-chunk
    which is read from "PlayTime" into "Title" (same as noted
    in the source comment above that function). This should
    correct the wrong playtimes which are reported for
    RealMedia files as well as providing the correct meta data
    stored in the CONT-chunk.

    For RealMedia test files, look at this page:

    Regards :)
