View Full Version : Req Windows tool to auto-tag multiple mp4's using TheMovieDB?

I'm posting here in desperation as I've been searching for hours and hours for a tool that will auto-tag hundreds of MP4 files in one batch using the first entry it finds at TheMovieDb with zero user intervention.

I came across mp4movietags (https://github.com/ccjensen/mp4movietags) which would be perfect but it's just for a mac (should I get a vmware mac!)

All other programs I've come tried (metax, mkvtomp4 etc) require user interaction of some sort on EVERYfile so would waste days and give RSI and severe bordem.

Any tips? Absolute worst case I'll have to write my own as I did for the MP4 conversions in the first place, but that's last resort!

Unless I'm mistaken, you would be able to use that on Windows since it's written in Python. Now, I haven't looked close enough to know if any programs it depends on are Mac only, or have Windows versions, if so then you're set.

Well from my own brief look it uses mp4tagger which I presume is some sort of mac-os binary. It does say in readme:-

This requires Python and a compiled version of MP4Tagger which must be placed in the same directory as the the mp4movietags files.


So I could theoretically get the source and try and compile it to x86 and ... or see if there is a windows binary mp4tagger around already.

I figured I'd ask around as it seems like the sort of utility that would be wanted by quite a lot of people, expecially if people decide to convert their whole library to apple format.
