FR: Please allow person in Games

[luangm 4]

Hi, I like manage my games (EMU, VN etc.) in Emby, the look and feel is great, especially I also have lots of Anime, and Games and Anime combine really well in the same server.

GameBrowser plugin is great in separating GameSystems, but has no support for using local metadata file. So recently I've already updated NfoMetadata plugin to be able to read from a local game.nfo file, which is also helpful to be able to use external scrappers.

But I've noticed that in Emby Games Metadata does not contain person information, such as game director, artists, writers, voice actors etc. Looking through decompiled source, it appears Game.SupportsPeople = false.

I'd like a way to modify this to true through an API of some sort in the plugin. If that's not possible then could you please change this in MediaBrowser.Controller.Entities.Game? change it to true.

I know Emby is not initially designed to work with games, but at least it works, and works great. So I'd like to contribute to the development of Game features to make it a great Game Management tool.

Thanks!

Hi Luke, while you are at it, could you please also add support for collections on Games.

It seems natural to me, game often comes in collections, Final Fantasy series, COD etc.

Right now I have to manually add a tag "Collection: Final Fantasy", in order to see all the games in the same collection. It would be better if Collections have a separate entry in the Game folder, just like movies and TVs.

Thank you very much!

Hey, probably that'S relevant for you. In another thread we got an updated version of the Nfo plugin that now gives game support.

I haven't tested with persons, you can see my example NFO a little above. But as it's the same NFO plugin I assume that it could work. I'm not sure if that version of the NFO plugin is already released on the official catalog or if it is only in the thread.
