Hello,

I am looking for a video library manager with features close to what a music library manager would have.

I keep a video clips collection. All videos are MP4 container and h.264 codec. Videos have metadata, currently: author, genre, album.

I am looking for an all-in-one program to navigate, play, and edit metadata:

• play video (directly in program or open with VLC)

• edit metadata (at least: author, album, genre)

• edit ratings (5-star scale) and store it in file (not in program database)

• search by filters: author, album, genre

• search by multiple filters, like "genre: X AND Y", "artist:X AND ratings:N"...

I tried the following:
VLC 4:

• has a library manager with a "videos" tab

• but:

• cannot sort by author/album/genre as it does for music (it shows all videos in one single screen)

Windows Media Player (legacy):

• has a library manager that works for videos

• can sort videos by artist, album, genre, ratings

• but:

• cannot apply ratings (stars, from 0 to 5) directly in file metadata (it stores them in its database, even if option "Maintain my star ratings as global ratings in files")

• cannot search with multiple filters

Media Player (current Windows player):

• has a library manager that works for videos

• but:

• cannot sort videos by artist, album, genre, ratings

MP3tag:

• edits MP4 metadata

• allows to play files (in VLC) by right-click/play

• but:

• cannot edit ratings

• cannot sort and search videos through filters (it shows the whole folder, all the time)

Do you have any other ideas?

Thanks in advance
