Batch/Spreadsheet mode?

[abraunstein]

I have a recurring need to work with moderately large (i.e. numbering in the hundreds or low thousands) of video files where the goal is to update the metadata of the files - preferably without forcing a re-encode as that could take a very long time and introduce quality issues. The data will be created and edited in a spreadsheet, but can be exported in other formats if necessary. It seems as if Subler can get me all of the metadata stamping functionality I need (which includes the iTunes-specific tags), but as far as I can tell, the batch mode that it supports is more about bulk conversion and that any metadata changes are introduced via pulling from public sources. Does anybody know of a means by which my use case could be addressed? If there is no feature that allows for this kind of manipulation, is it scriptable via the command line?

Yes, look for sublercli. you could probably build a script using the spreadsheet as data to iterate through your movies. Look here...

Thank you for the pointer! I'll give it a look this weekend and see how it goes.
