Which scenario?
- Not implemented? You code yourslelf (this is open source) or you pay me to code what you need.
- Not possible? I let you answer me about how to make something possible when this is not possible, I don't have the answer on my side...

Hi Zen,

I found a problem when reading tags from Ogg Vorbis files. If the files have an "Album Artist" tag, MediaInfo returns the information in "Performer" field as "album artist / artist". But I would need these 2 value separated. It works correctly with MP3s, where the values are returned in fields "Performer" and "Album/Performer".

This happens with all Ogg Vorbis files I have. I use foobar2000 or mp3tag to tag my files. Both programs read the tags correctly.

Is this behavior intentional for some reason? Could you have a look at it please? If you need a sample file, please let me know. But it should be reproducible with any Ogg Vorbis file.

Thanks!

Edit: Also I think that to name the Artist field as Performer might be confusing. For example foobar2000 has a separate Performer field. I think that Artist field is meant to contain music author (Mozart, for example) and Performer would be the orchestra that actually plays it. It probably only matters for classical music, but why not make the field names consistent with other programs?

It was not intentional. Corrected, in next version.

I am open to some proposals about fields mapping, but they must be consistent and more "logical" than the current mapping.

"Artist" field is used for so many different people (as you said: this can be the performer, or the music autor), I try to separate and to precise roles when I can. Additionaly, Id3v2 has the same field for Artist/Performer (TPE1), and I must choose a name ;-).
I currently don't agree to fill a different field depending of the genre (e.g. in "Artist" for U2 and "Performer" for the performer of a classical music.), I (and my users!) expect the same field in every case whatever is the genre, so currently "Performer" name seems to be the more logical.

foobar2000 goal is to propose fields from the underlying format, MediaInfo goal is to display same field whatever is the underlying format.

So... If you want a change in the mapping and/or naming, I need a proof this is better for everybody in any case (for pop music up to classical music, from Id3v1 to MP4 tags)

I think that using Artist and Album artist is very common and most people would expect these fields. Using different field names for different genres is certainly a bad idea.

I think that the track artist/performer should be stored in a field called "Artist". You might copy the value to "Performer" field if a different performer value is not stored in the tag.

It is not important, it would just make MediaInfo more consistent with other programs, which all use "Artist" for this information. But of course the decision is up to you and your commercial partners.

Btw. a funny thing is, that we have no good translation for "Artist" in Czech. We usually translate it as "interpret", which means performer.

Actually none of my commercial partners care about this field, so I can decide a change without too many complains (at least no complain with financial impact :-D ).

Another good reason to use "Performer" .
I was using "Artist" previously, it was changed due to some requests from other people, people do not agree at 100% on the the naming, so currently I think I keep this field name as is.

This seems be not related to MediaInfo, but a global instability of your Windows installation:

Initial version of the installer (0.7.47.0) was wrong, updated version (0.7.47.1) is OK. Try download the installer from the official website so you are sure you have the updated version.

Im slightly sure that it is not my windows problem because i can run an older version (0.7.27 from klite codec pack, klmcodec570.exe) of mediainfo just fine. And my comp is very clean, i only install nearly everything in sandboxie. :]

I renamed or deleted the DWMAPI.DLL, then it gave me this error:



Help please... :[

Thanks for your help.

No, no, and no. I don't care of K-Lite. This GUI is not made by me, this is not a confirmation. This is not an older version, this is another software. If you want to compare, compare with my software, not the tool from someone else.

Currently, you are the only one complaining about this. So I wait for other people complaining about the same problem before I look at it more seriously (I don't have the time nor the wish to debug for free something on only one machine).

OK. I checked the dependencies of the GUI .exe, this is weird, there is a hard-coded link to Windowscodecs.dll and dwmapi.dll but without any function called in theses DLLs. Argh this new version of Embarcadero RAD Studio! I must trash it ASAP...

I tried to remove manually the links to theses useless DLLs, please try:

Thanks, Zenitram, that worked.



And it is not my "global instability of your Windows installation"...

Atak Snajpera (klite codec) makes a good and simple gui. It also loads faster. :]

Yeah, yeah... I was wrong. (or I wansn't: I still don't know if theses files are in default installation of Windows XP, or with some Windows update. The thing I did is to remove the useless link to theses DLLs, this does not mean that this DLLs are expected not to be there)

His GUI is his choice, this is not my choice and the choice of my users. You have choice, you can choose Atak Snajpera GUI if you prefer it.
For info, you can select "Text view" as default and remove menu bar in preferences screen, then you have nearly the same GUI than Atak Snajpera one.
