In this article, you will learn how to control the output of file information (metadata) for the Media Portal.
Go to the File information tab in the Media Portal backend: On the left-hand side, you can use the Edit data fields button to select file information from the General, Custom metadata and Metadata sections. If a media file contains the specified information, it will be displayed in the Media Portal.
On the right-hand side, you can set which tags (including person tags) should appear on the assets. You can also specify whether these should be displayed when hovering over preview images. By default, they only appear in the full view when 🛈 Show file information is clicked in the top right-hand corner. If you activate Expand file information, this step is omitted and the information always appears in the right-hand bar when you switch to the full view.
