Hi,

the problem here is that we do not currently support writing metadata into
movie files. The coordinates are saved in the database, however. In previous
pre-2.0 versions, no metadata was written to movie files, either, but there was
no warning.

For now, you can use sidecar files instead of storing the metadata in the movie
files directly, but there were recently some bugs reported about correct
handling of coordinates in sidecar files, like bug#280058.

Regards,

Michael
