Tags

Tags is used for automatic replacement of text and is used in preset titles, descriptions and video tags fields.

$(ep)

If $(ep) is used in a preset title, the videos using this preset can be automatically numbered using the automatic numbering feature. This replaces $(ep) with the number. More about automatic numbering in the main window wiki article

$(playlist)

If $(playlist) is used in a preset description and the preset has a playlist specified then $(playlist) will be replaced by a link to that playlist. if no playlist is selected for the preset then $(playlist) will be replaced with a empty string like it never existed in the description.

$(rawname)

If $(rawname) is used in a preset title, description or video tag, the videos using this preset will have it replaced by the name of the file. (Excluding the file extension.)

$(metadata)

Added in version 1.3

The metadata tag is the most advanced tag yet, unlike the other tags you need to give it one or two parameters to work. It looks in every file processed for meta data and allows you to specify a meta data field of the file and insert the value stored in it. Optionally a fallback text can be used if the name entered does not match a meta field name in the current file. Without any fallback text nothing will be displayed if the meta name was not found. This tag can be used in the preset title, description and video tags fields.

The two valid formats is like this:

  • $(metadata:name)
  • $(metadata:name,fallback)

Name is the name of the meta data field in the video file, if you do not know what to enter you can use the Meta data tool accessible from the settings window. The colon is required to separate the tag name from the meta field name.

Fallback is optional and starts after the first comma found in the metadata-tag.

The end of the metadata-tag is the first found ending parenthesis ")" so it is not an allowed character in the fallback text. The page for the Meta data tool linked above also contains examples of how to use the tag.
