Managing your collection of movies

Mezzmo lets you add your collection of movies and stream them to your devices and web browsers. You can organize your movie collection how you you like - for example, a 1:1 representation of your folders, or organized by attributes such as Genre, Year, Actor, Movie Set, etc.

All popular video formats are supported. Formats that are not compatible with your devices or web browsers are automatically transcoded.

All popular subtitles are supported - including external subtitles, embedded subtitles and burning subtitles.

Movie metadata and artwork

Mezzmo collects movie metadata and artwork from various sources when you add your videos into Mezzmo or when you maintain your Mezzmo library:

  • from the filepath of the video file
  • from embedded metadata and artwork within the video file
  • from external metadata files in the same folder as the video file (.NFO, .TGMD, .XML, etc.)
  • from online web sites such as www.TheMovieDB.org

You can control where Mezzmo collects metadata using the Metadata Retrieval Settings dialog.

Mezzmo Windows displays and lets you edit all the metadata and artwork in the Properties dialog.

Mezzmo server delivers text metadata to your devices and web browsers. Mezzmo Android displays all text metadata and artwork. Web browsers also displays all text metadata and artwork. Most DLNA devices only display the title and description of a video.
