When I set ItemList:BeatsPerMinute through Windows, exiftool only displays a blank entry.

[ItemList] BeatsPerMinute :
Windows can read the entry if exiftool sets ItemList:BeatsPerMinute.
Attached file is sample used.
Thanks for this report. I haven't forgotten about this. With the spring bird migration in full swing I've been spending all of my free time outdoors recently. I'll look at this when I get a chance.

This problem is due to a patch I added to read some BeatsPerMinute values stored incorrectly in Boolean format. The patch forced the value to be interpreted as a 16-bit integer, but in this case only 8 bits were available. I'll patch the patch to fix this, and ExifTool 12.27 should read this properly.
Thanks for the report.

Hi. From now on, if I understand correctly, exiftool is going to read ItemList:BeatsPerMinute as either int8 or int16 depending on how many bits there are to be read, right? Is it safe to continue writing it as int16 though? Thanks
I think my samples until now wrote it as int16u, so this should be safe.
