Write Tag Support ?

[jcnoir]

Is there any plan to write tags ?

[dhowden]

I don't have a use case for it at the moment, but am open to contributions providing that the implementation mirrors the code for reading tags.

[jcnoir]

Thank you for your answer.
I will try to do it but since I just begin coding with GO this may take some time...

[xhenner]

I'm in the process of coding it, but have not a lot of time currently.

[jcnoir]

Good news. Do you have a branch in your repo where I can look at it ?

[dhowden]

@xhenner @jcnoir This sounds great! It would be best if you could develop this in a public branch (rather than putting everything in a pull request in one go) so that I can keep track of what's going on and maybe contribute too!

https://github.com/xhenner/tag/tree/writeid3v2 is the branch in which I work for write support when I have time

[cryptix]

I'd like to help with this. Anything low hanging I could tackle?

I know this issue is old in computer time, but is there any progress or alternative you switched to (For ID3 only: https://github.com/bogem/id3v2)? I would have some use cases, too...

I am looking at this again. I have a use case for this, and have been reading the code to see how to implement it. I am particularly interested in OGG Vorbis Comment writing. Where would the code go. oggwrite.go?

My use-case for this is to add support to mt to generate thumbnails of videos and write them out to the Picture metdata tag of the MP4(s).

@xhenner I was wondering if you ever ended up finishing your branch?

I wrote an MP4 tagger lib in Go if anyone needs since there wasn't one. https://github.com/Sorrow446/go-mp4tag
Would appreciate any contributors to help maintain and improve it, thanks.

Nice one! Can you add a cli tool for it too? e.g: ./cmd/mp4tag/main.go? 🤔 if you're open to it I can contribute that 👌

My Linux distro is getting closer and closer to loosing support, which means I will have to abandon Banshee player (it's 10 year old Mono, and doesn't build with modern versions). I would therefore like to create a new music manager/player, but tag writing is a big part of the feature set I would like to support. I'm therefore wondering if perhaps all the people here in this issue and in #71 could somehow get this to happen. Perhaps we can all write parts? Or we can perhaps combine donations to motivate someone to write it? I'm not sure how to get it done, but I would love to see it happen!

Hello. I'm back after a bit. I've completely rewritten this, it doesn't rely on any other libraries/tools like AtomicParsley or abema's go-mp4 now. There's no corruption issues now either. Will have it up today or tomorrow.
