--add-metadata Write metadata to the video file
--no-add-metadata Do not write metadata (default)
--parse-metadata FIELD:FORMAT Parse additional metadata like title/artist
from other fields. Give field name to
extract data from, and format of the field
seperated by a ":". Either regular
expression with named capture groups or a
similar syntax to the output template can
also be used. The parsed parameters replace
any existing values and can be use in
output template. This option can be used
multiple times. Example: --parse-metadata
"title:%(artist)s - %(title)s" matches a
title like "Coldplay - Paradise". Example
(regex): --parse-metadata
from other fields. Give a template or field
name to extract data from and the format to
interpret it as, seperated by a ":". Either
regular expression with named capture
groups or a similar syntax to the output
template can be used for the FORMAT.
Similarly, the syntax for output template
can be used for FIELD to parse the data
from multiple fields. The parsed parameters
replace any existing values and can be used
in output templates. This option can be
used multiple times. Example: --parse-
metadata "title:%(artist)s - %(title)s"
matches a title like "Coldplay - Paradise".
Example: --parse-metadata "%(series)s
%(episode_number)s:%(title)s" sets the
title using series and episode number.
Example (regex): --parse-metadata
"description:Artist - (?P<artist>.+?)"
--xattrs Write metadata to the video file's xattrs
