### Description of your *issue*, suggested solution and other information

my output template sometimes correctly uses the metadata from title, but mostly it does not.
in the example, it should put the song in ~/Music/DL/Flaty, but it puts it in /NA instead.
it works for some reason with some tracks of the same album, eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyl9MzXa_LM

randomhuman1 · 2019-01-21T18:08:55Z

also i dont know why the output of the terminal is linking to the discogs page, could not find something in the readme.. is it possible to add metadata retrieved from discogs?

dstftw · 2019-01-21T18:13:00Z

This is expected behavior. --metadata-from-title is a post processor option and won't add any parsed metadata to info dict used by output template.
As for metadata from discogs - no such feature exists.

randomhuman1 · 2019-01-21T18:21:48Z

but it is working in other instances, why? in this example it puts it in /Music/DL/Flaty

Cause it's extracted by extractor from the webpage itself.

randomhuman1 · 2019-01-21T18:29:56Z

but the content of the description on youtube is identical in both cases, why would it work in one case and not in the other?

dstftw · 2019-01-21T18:34:20Z

This has nothing to do with description. Again: the latter has separate artist metadata that the former does not.

randomhuman1 · 2019-01-21T18:38:06Z

ah okay, now i understand. thank you!

Kerndog73 · 2019-11-26T06:42:04Z

@dstftw

This is expected behavior. --metadata-from-title is a post processor option and won't add any parsed metadata to info dict used by output template.

I just spent the last half hour wondering why --metadata-from-title wasn't working and then I came here. Is there any chance of this feature being added in the future? I think it would be really useful.
