- | dd | + | ====== Controlling metadata and artwork collection ====== |
+ | |||
+ | Mezzmo automatically collects text metadata, poster artwork and backdrop artwork for your media files. It collects metadata and artwork from a variety of sources: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Text metadata from the file paths of media files. | ||
+ | * Text metadata and artwork embedded in media files. | ||
+ | * Text metadata and artwork in external metadata files. | ||
+ | * Text metadata and artwork from online web sites. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can configure what text metadata and artwork is collected using the **Metadata Retrieval Settings** dialog. You can access this dialog by clicking the **Metadata Retrieval Settings** button on the **Options dialog (Retrieving Metadata page)**. | ||

+ | Any changes you make in the Metadata Retrieval Settings dialog will be applied to new files that you add into your Mezzmo library or when you use the **Maintain Library** dialog. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Manually getting text metadata and artwork for movies and TV shows ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | If Mezzmo has not collected the correct text metadata and artwork, then you can try to find the correct text metadata and artwork manually using the **Get Online Video Metadata** dialog. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Right-click on the video and click **Properties**. On the Properties dialog, click the **Get Online Video Metadata** button. | ||
