Hello,

I put some tags in a test mkv for actors, folowing this format for actors : http://lists.matroska.org/pipermail/matroska-devel/2011-February/003879.html (multiple actors)

I did the same for the GENRE tags as I need multiple genres.

But the GUI and the CLI returns only the last actor, and the last genre.

It's exactly the same for the TOTAL_PARTS or PART_NUMBER : only the last values are returned (ie if TOTAL_PARTS=3 for TargetTypeValue=70, TOTAL_PARTS=13 for TargetTypeValue=50, then TOTAL_PARTS=13).

I don't know if it's a bug or a feature... I just hope MediaInfo.dll returns all the tags correctly...

Cheers.

    Me either.. This is a bug because this does not meet specs, it's a feature because such complex tags are not yet supported.
    Let's go for a feature request, because this is code to add.

    Please provide a sample file.

    Tags.xml file added. Ask if you want a full mkv instead.

    I very hope this file match the specs, because it's pretty hard to find enought informations about this, but IMO it does.

    I fully understand your warning :)

    Rgds.

    Yes, I would like the final MKV file, easier for me.
    And yes, finding info about complex MKV tag is not easy, this is not a lot used (this is a pity, because this seems to be very powerful)

    Well, it might be low-priority, but it's been nearly two years... And it really does not meet the specs...

    I understand the complain, but MKV is not really the kind of format used by people currently paying me for improvements, and such tags are not a lot used, so it is on my todo list with tens of other requests I plan to do when I have free time.
    I wish that someone else than me (the main developer) looks at it (this is Open Source!), but nobody up to now :(, I can not do all so I prioritize.
