MakeMKV No Longer Writes Metadata

Post by snhjs8&*(ns »

I updated Windows 10 with the Creators Update a few days ago and I've noticed that MakeMKV no longer writes metadata (Data Rate, Total Bitrate, Length, etc.) to BluRay rips. DVD rips do produce the metadata.
Right-clicking the mkv file from the BluRay confirms that no metadata is present.
Version number of MakeMKV is 1.10.5

That sounds more like a Windows Creator update problem than a MakeMKV problem. I used that same version and it shows up just fine no Creator update.

Yes, I think you're right.

Has anyone found a solution for this on the Windows side? I've tried installing Icaros, but the details are presented in a different way than native. I'd like to have "Data rate" and "Total Bitrate" separate in the details pane like it was before.

Also, not that this is MakeMKV's fault, but it does seem that Windows now has an issue with MKVs specifically output from MakeMKV since Creators Update. I just remuxed a MakeMKV produced file with MKVToolNix, changed nothing, and the new file shows metadata perfectly.
