Inquiry Regarding Media Information in Video Files Downloaded with StreamFab

yumenochikara9

I am writing to inquire about video files downloaded using StreamFab.
When I open the file properties and check the “Details” tab, the following media information is automatically entered:

Title field: Video title
Comment field: Video URL
Contributing artists field: Channel name
Year: Garbled numerical value
Genre field: Video attributes

Due to this automatic entry, the file size appears to be slightly larger compared to files downloaded with other software.Is it possible to change the StreamFab settings to prevent these media information entries (i.e., to not embed metadata) in the file properties?
If possible, could you please provide instructions on how to do so?Additionally, while it is possible to manually delete this information, the file size does not return to its original state once it has been embedded.
Thank you for your assistance, and I look forward to your reply.

yumenochikara9 Is it possible to change the StreamFab settings to prevent these media information entries

I suspect that’s not possible (hard coded)

I was only able to find a workaround to disable the MetaPicture

Just thinking out loud:

I tried a PV movie “You’re Next” in Germany and get:

then I added new to queue, closed SF and went to
%AppData%\DVDFab\StreamFab\taskdata\metaData

I changed in related file after the audio + video info:
“strThumbnailUrl”: "",
“strTitle”: "",
“strCollection”: "",
“strGenre”: "",
“strIntroduce”: "",
“strMetaThumb”: "",
and at the end:
“strTitle”: "",
“strYear”: "",

Result is a file named: 2026_01_08_19_18_15_B0FGJDDNBZ
(4 MB smaller) without any MetaData:

edit: Unchanged only with disabled MetaPicture it’s 297 Bytes larger as without MetaData

btw: If I remove the metaData complete the Download never start

Thank you for your response.
I see that, with the current version of StreamFab, there is no option in the settings to disable embedding metadata entirely.
I tried removing the metadata from videos downloaded with StreamFab using three different tools: exiftool, ffmpeg, and ExifCleaner.
While the file size gets very close to that of files downloaded with other software, due to slight differences in how padding/leftover space is handled after metadata removal, I could never get the sizes to match exactly.
If possible, I would greatly appreciate it if a future update could include the ability to individually enable or disable the embedding of specific metadata fields (such as Title, Comment, Artist, Genre, ContentCreateDate, MetaPicture, etc.) through the detailed/advanced settings.
Thank you very much for your consideration.

Changed to feature request. Maybe one day developer will consider.
