When these changes are applied to a media file, the Windows 8 Video app sadly does not refresh its cached thumbnail, therefore the updated artwork will not appear in the Video app. MyMeta allows the embedded artwork within a media file to be modified manually or by searching the internet. When it indexes a media file, it extracts the file's artwork and caches it within a hidden folder in your profile in order to quickly display thumbnails.

When the Windows 8 Video App starts up, it indexes all video media files under your computer's Video library folder. If this is the case, change your preferred media player in MyMeta's settings charm and then re-tag the affectd files. If episodes of the same show up in the Windows 8 Video app without show or season grouping then it is usually because the wrong convention is being used the tag that the Video app uses to group shows together may be filled with a unique episode name per file instead of the show name. MyMeta will apply the appropriate convention depending on which player you have selected as your preferred media player. These two conventions are mutually exclusive - in one the Title field denotes the episode name, and in the other it denotes the show name.

Conversely, Microsoft players use the file's Title field to store the TV show name, and an extended property called 'EpisodeName' to store the TV episode title. ITunes uses the MP4 'Show' tag to store a TV show name (eg 'Friends') whilst the episode name is stored in the file's Title field.

However, there are some differences between the two players that mean that it is not always possible to tag files in a way that will work perfectly for both iTunes and Microsoft players. Windows 8's built-in Video app (otherwise known as Xbox Video) as well as Zune media players do not honor many of the built-in tags, and therefore MyMeta applies Windows specific extended properties to these files as well so that your tagging is optimised for both players. these files, a specification that is honored by Apple iTunes. MyMeta sets tags embedded within the file according to the formal specification for. This file format is the standard used by most Apple devices, such as iPod, iPhone, Apple TV as well as iTunes media software. MyMeta tags video files that are in MP4, M4V and MOV file format. This section explains this question in further detail. When you start MyMeta for the first time, you'll be asked to select your preferred Media Player.
