Hello,

using XnViewMP version 0.53 I have seen, that Exiftool does not display any output of metadata in case of the name of the selected file contains a Unicode character in the path and/or in the filename.

This is a windows specific problem only.
Reading the Exiftool restrictions, it is stated that Exiftool does not support such filenames (on windows).
So please send the windows short filename to Exiftool in order to get an output of the requested metadata.
I am sure that this will work.

Best regards
Carmelo

I think this would be better posted in an XnViewMP forum.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
