So I've got some recordings. I have been using Handbrake to reencode them (bring the frame rate down, fix aspect ratio, etc.)

Now that I have the options fine tuned, I'd like to use HamdbrakeCLI to automate things. (Also so I don't forget to set the right output directory, which is common because I have videos in different directories.)

I've got 98% of the options set. The very last remaining piece is I'd like to set some Metadata. Options are in the GUI on Tags tab. I see HandbrakeCLI job json has a Metadata section it generates. I just don't know how to specify that option. My Google Fu didn't turn up anything. Anyone know how to specify that?

Have you considered opening a bug report with the documentation project?

I have not reported it yet. I thought surely I was overlooking something, but I'm not seeing any option for it on the command line.
