The 1, 2, 3… numbering convention suits some types/classes/kinds of media (TV series drama, comedy etc) but not others (TV news and current affairs, lecture recordings, sporting events etc). In some situations it is better to use year in the season field rather than 1, 2, 3… convention. If a Handbrake developers/contributor is adding this feature be sure TV Season data can handle/manage larger integers. Perhaps SublerCLI, PySubler ( ) and write a simple python script to automate copying metadata tag information from source media to Handbrake/handbrakeCLI encoded destination media. The other metadata information (including the poster artwork) n is not retained/copied to new media encoded.Īnticipating Handbrake developers give this a low priority (or decided against any work in this area) I've recently started to think about other possible solutions. Handbrake retains/copies Name, Genre and Long Description. Sometimes also Description, Long Description, poster artwork, Media Kind. Most of the media I'm re-encoding/transcoding has the following meta: Name, Genre, Release Date, TV Show, TV Episode #, TV Season, Studio, Cast.

I would also like to see more (close to all) metadata retained/copied to new Handbrake encoded media.

Handbrake seems to copy/retain some metadata tag information but not all.
