+``--metadata-codepage=<codepage>``
+ Codepage for various input metadata (default: ``utf-8``). This affects how
+ file tags, chapter titles, etc. are interpreted. You can for example set
+ this to ``auto`` to enable autodetection of the codepage. (This is not the
+ default because non-UTF-8 codepages are an obscure fringe use-case.)
+
+ See ``--sub-codepage`` option on how codepages are specified and further
+ details regarding autodetection and codepage conversion. (The underlying
+ code is the same.)
+
+ Conversion is not applied to metadata that is updated at runtime.
