Why only mp4 videos? What to do when tagging not possible??

[LinAdmin]

Over the years I have collected a few thousand music files and videos of concerts and operas mostly received via satellite. It was a lot of work to tag the music files with puddletag, but no insurmountable problems.

I was impressed by the fast an perfect representation of the tagged music files by minimserver.

For the videos, tagging looks impossible. Although all of them can easily be played by most of the good players on pc, the current libraries of avconv and ffmpeg do not allow to remux them.

I therefore must find a way to index them by extracting meta information from the filenames which are in the format "composer - title - artists (year)".

Is there a possibility to do get those files indexed by minimserver without embedded tags?

Thanks for your help!
