Programmatically Change mp4 Tags
05 January 2016, 08:17


I know how to retrieve tags of mp4 videos, using the object shell namespace, but I would like to use the object shell to edit the tags. Does anyone know the command structure?
For example, to get the title, I would use
Code:
objFolder.GetDetailsof(filename,21)
How can I SET the title?

As far as I know you can't set extended properties that way. MS used to have a dll called dsofile.dll which you could use to set extended properties, but not sure if it is still supported.

Can always open the files individually and edit using the details tab, but that's very inefficient. Found a free program called mp3tag which will do the job, not as quickly as FSO would have, but at least I don't have to do them all manually.
