    Below script takes all mkv files in the current directory and sets the filename as the mkv-file title.
    Requires installation of MKVToolNix.

    I'm using Kodi compatible naming for all movies, I.e. <moviename> (year).mkv. ( It Chapter Two (2019).mkv ) and it works flawlessly.


    <div>@ Echo Off&nbsp;
&nbsp;
</div><div>for %%f in (*.mkv) do (
&nbsp; &nbsp; echo Replacing movie title:&nbsp; %%~nf
&nbsp; &nbsp; "C:\Program Files\MKVToolNix\mkvpropedit.exe" "%%~nf.mkv" -e info -s title="%%~nf"
)</div>

    Some TV and media players does use the file 'Title' instead of the file name.
    AFAIK does at least MKV container and MP4 support 'Title'.

    I'm using a tool for that: MKVToolNix (https://mkvtoolnix.download/index.html)
    It's pretty simple to re-encode MKV's with correct tags from the filenames.

    I did that in two steps; 
    1. Changed filenames according to KODI naming conventions. I.e "Movie name (year)"
        Like: "Lady and the Tramp (2019)"

    2. Run a script that set's correct title-tag in all MKV-files.

    <div>@ Echo Off

</div><div>REM This script takes all mkv files in the current directory and sets the filename as file title.

for %%f in (*.mkv) do (
</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; echo Adding/replacing movie title:&nbsp; %%~nf&nbsp;
&nbsp; &nbsp; "C:\Program Files\MKVToolNix\mkvpropedit.exe" "%%~nf.mkv" -e info -s title="%%~nf.mkv"
</div><div>)</div><div></div>
    Note: This works for MKV's only as 99% of my movies & series are MKV

    How does a PC and/or tablet (cellphone) show names and file tags?

    on the pc or from android in the folders of the nas the names are there

    but the strange thing is this
    twonky server no longer sees shared folders

    When it comes to Twonky, I have no idea. Never used it...
    As long as file name matches the title tag and files are playable (PC, tablet, ...) that part is OK.
