Title: Changing output
Post by: Romano on January 25, 2021, 11:27:14 AM
Iam new so sorry about my question in advanced:
can this output per example:

User Defined Text              : (SERIES) The Hounds of God
User Defined Text               : (series-part) 1
User Defined Text               : (tmp_Genre1) Literature & Fiction


be changed to this output?

User Defined Text (SERIES)       : (SERIES) The Hounds of God
User Defined Text (series-part) : (series-part) 1
User Defined Text (tmp_Genre1)  : (tmp_Genre1) Literature & Fiction


or this:

User Defined Text (SERIES)      :  The Hounds of God
User Defined Text (series-part) :  1
User Defined Text (tmp_Genre1)  :  Literature & Fiction


in an audio file? making the first part unique?

Not really.  But maybe try the -G (-groupNames) option (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#G-NUM-:NUM...--groupNames).  Something like -G4 or -G0:4.  The will add [Copy# (where # is the number of the duplicate name) to each tag output.  The first option will add empty brackets to the beginning of tags that don't have duplicate names.  The second will at least have the group name.

Thank you.

i think it depends on the audio file type, if .m4b it works:

series-part                     : 1
SERIES                          : Third Shift


but in .mp3 not.
