Is there somewhere to host community-made metadata files that you guys are aware of? Like, a website where people can share sets of customized NFO files and images - or partial set, that only selectively override what you would scrape from tvdb/tmdb? I've been customizing a fair bit of mine. Sometimes custom image sets, sometimes a whole folder, or making a series of movies into a "Show", or the like. Sometimes adding metadata to fanedits. I'd be happy to share the metadata with other people as I change my own server. Obviously different people like to organize their collections different ways, like how I don't care to separate films and shows, and prefer to use a "Show" setup for each franchise (each library is a broad genre). If Emby could handle epubs, cbrs/cbz, and PDFs, all my comics and ebooks and RPG Books would be getting loaded into Emby as well. But sadly, Emby does not do book formats - I have yet to find a good Emby-For-Ebooks to run on my media server. A random example - Nobody is going to get this same kind of setup by just using the auto-scraper (though the auto scraper was part of my process. I grabbed as much as possible with it before I started tweaking and organizing). These custom setups were rather un-shareable in Plex, but thanks to nfo files and images in folders, the same cannot be said for my custom setups in Emby. I could zip up the folder and leave out the video files, and womeone else could plug in their own videos and go. Another example: An audiobook trilogy, as part of a broad "Forgotten Realms" audiobook "TV Show" (the main page of which still looks ugly, I just started loading things into this one today). So - have you guys come across a website for sharing community made metadata sets and the like? Are there multiples worth comparing? If yes, which ones do you prefer and why? Thanks guys.

Basically a copy/paste of a post from another thread, split for convenience: "I've always been interested in some sort of Recommendations feature, and although there were several ideas (and few workarounds and/or community made plugins) thrown around the forum, none of them was exactly what I was looking for, for one reason or another: either it was sorta clumsy, either it had undesired side effects, either it required significant time investment or some other reason. Never got around to articulate my request as a FR, might as well take the opportunity now: I've envisioned it as a Recommendations tab in addition to Home and Favourites tab on Home Screen, and based on number of same item being favourited by multiple users. It would be auto-populating with admin-settable minimum number of times an item was Favourited (in line with Favourites tab auto-populating on single Favourited). In that way it would be fully automated and require no administrating besides setting minimum value (which can as well be 1, so you'd see everything that anyone ever Favourited). Server already knows this data - who Favourited what - it might as well be put to use. Although I have fairly limited number of users at any given time, 10ish-15, they change quite frequently (seaman sharing with colleagues), over time I've amassed 200+ users minimum (rough guess, it's likely more), and I would assume that to be a considerable userbase upon which above could have been built and real quality content would filter through. Anyway, I reckon you got the idea. Cheers"

I have a bunch of videos that aren't indexed by metadata providers. I've selected the "Movies" content type to make use of the suggestions feature. Unfortunately it only works for videos following a specific naming scheme (I think it's a date in the title or a dash). Please consider expanding the suggestions systems for videos that are not movies. I haven't really found out if manually edited metadata is affected by the suggestions, but in any case it would be really helpful to have a feature that lets you edit metadata of multiple items at the same time. Also a indicator for which metadata an item has would be useful (maybe just for tags).
