editing/adding track info for tv shows and movies in iTunes 12.1 for Mac. Does anyone know how to do this?

When you open the *new* info box for a tv show or podcast, you should see a field for episode (which behaves the same as the track number) change the 'track information' there (as long as the tv show in question has been downloaded to your computer)

Alternaltively, You can access the old info box by right clicking a tv show etc then holding Option and then press Get Info - the old info box should appear then.

In the last post on this topic, JNLong2811 is correct in that the "secret" OPT/Get-Info selection no longer accesses the old Get Info fields. The information previously contained within the VIDEO fields are still (thankfully) attached to its respective media file but there is no way to access those editable fields for global edits. I trust that iTunes has simply overlooked the possibility that some librarians utilize these fully-referanceable fields for Smart Playlists and will promptly reinstate the option to work within the (much friendlier) "old Get Info" mode. Thank you in advance for correcting this oversight.

The only workaround I've found so far is to change the type to Music Video, add the Track Number, then change the type to TV Show. The track number will stick around, but the rest of the options will be the TV options.

The use of the right clicking while holding down the Option key for the "old" info box worked through iTunes 12, but when 12.1 came out, that option went away.

So edit the info with a proper tag editor (before you even add it to iTunes).

Use -> MetaZ and/or -> Sublerto edit movies/TV shows.

Personally, instead of iTunes, I use -> MetaZ and/or -> Sublerto edit movies/TV shows.
