I found out that after tagging files with MM, VLC would refuse to play them. After digging for a while, it turns out it's because somehow, when MM edits the file, the last access date of the file becomes invalid on my NAS. This is consistent. Here is an example (see the Access date):
Code: Select all
# stat "12 Angry Men (1997).mp4"
File: 12 Angry Men (1997).mp4
Size: 1062667948 Blocks: 2075528 IO Block: 4096 regular file
...
Access: 30828-09-14 04:48:05.000000000
Modify: 2022-01-16 19:20:12.000000000
Change: 2022-01-16 19:20:11.000000000
Anyway, I ran a program similar to linux'es "touch" but for windows, and it can fix the access date. The program is "Touch.exe" by Steve Miller and it can be found here: https://stevemiller.net/apps/
MM may help with this: if it could execute either a "touch" command on the file or allow the execution of user-defined post processing commands for each file, then I could use that touch program as a workaround.
Thanks
