I'm using the Server Version 3.0.5464.40000, and the Plugin Genre Cleaner Version 1.0.1.4

 

The Plugin do not map any more the configured mappings. Also pushing the button "Start Library Scan" do not start any scan. Starting the library scan using the advance task do not solve the problem.

You'll need to actually refresh something that has the genres you are trying to affect and then attach the log file or use something like paste.org and provide a link.  Thanks.

I think that the problem is related to the fact that I have all the movie/series locked. I need lock the series because I don't want that happen changes to the xml data (sometimes I have to adapt to my language or add different data). I think that Genres cleaner should be authorized to changes locked movies. Please don't ask me to unlock all the movies since are a lot. If it is necessary to respect the lock setting, a solution could be to add to the Genres Cleaner an option that allow the user to "explicitely" authorize the plugin to changes the Genres even for the locked movies/tv series.

 

Thanks

Presumably if you have locked an items metadata it is because you have it set that items metadata exactly as you want it... So why would you want to allow a plugin to change it... That defeats the purpose of the lock metadata feature

Yeah, I really think we need to respect that setting.

 

Typically, an items metadata wouldn't be locked until after the initial metadata is gathered, which would then allow genre cleaner to do its thing before you lock it.

Also you can define what tags of the metadata are locked so you could lock everything except the genre tags.

If you can suggest an easy way to do that for 2 thousands of films, suggestions are welcome.

I guess you could use notepad++ as discussed here.  But with these parameters.

 

Find:  <LockData>true</LockData>

 

Replace with:

Movie parameters: <LockedFields>Name|Overview|OfficialRating|Cast|ProductionLocations|Studios|Tags|Keywords|Images|Backdrops</LockedFields>

 

TV Parameters:    <LockedFields>Name|Overview|OfficialRating|Cast|ProductionLocations|Runtime|Studios|Tags|Keywords|Images|Backdrops</LockedFields>

 

You will may need to change your directory movie/tv depending on how your library is setup.

and you end up with this.

54a909ed211ac_reset.jpg

 

Run Genre Cleaner and reverse the process to relock.

 

**Everything may appear to still be lock since xml doesn't contain <LockData>false</LockData>.

 

Or just unlock everything at root folder run the cleaner then relock everything.

How did you lock them all in the first place?

That's a good question! Using the metadata manager, if I select the root folder and then lock this folder, the lock is propagated to all the sub-folders. While using this method it's easy to lock/unlock a lot of movies is not good to propagate the lock/unlock to the single metadata items. If for example I lock each item field excluding only the "Genres", this change is not propagated to the sub-folders. In any case a change in the code is necessary: Or is fixed this propagation or is fixed the Genres cleaner. It is obvious that if one install the Genre cleaner want to changes the Genres, this allowance could be implicit in the code or explicit adding a check box in the plugin where the user can gives explicitly to the plugin the permissions to change the Genres. I don't want to use external applications like notepad++ to solve this problem, since the plugin has been developed for this scope. In effect using notepad++ I could also change directly the Genres and the plugin has been developed just to simplify this process.

The locking feature is typically used to lock only a small portion of one's library.  So the typical user would want genre cleaner to work on the items they haven't locked and not touch the ones they have.  After all, that's what locking it means.

 

I'm afraid you have a very unusual setup.  Why is it that you are locking all of your items metadata?

I cannot find on github the sources for "Genres Plugin" If needed I can contribute the change. The way to go is to add an option to "ignore" the lock on the "Genres" in this way is compatible with the current setup and allow also the management of unusual setup like mine.

I understand what you are asking for and it is not hard to do I just am not convinced it is something we want to do.  When someone locks their metadata it is supposed to mean the system will not change it.  

 

It also usually means that person has painstakingly created their metadata exactly how they want it.  Creating this feature - even as an option - will open the door for someone's hard work to be obliterated very easily.

You are right, I'm locking the metadata because I don't want that the system will change it. The Genres is an exception and at the moment I see as simpler and effective to handle this exception inside the "Genres cleaner". The Genres cleaner cannot perform unexpected changes because the mapping rules are added explicitly by the user, I cannot imagine a situation where a user that add a given mapping rule do not want that this rule will be applied, It is easier for me imagine a situation like the mine where I don't want that the system could change in unexpected way the metadata since the user has, generally, not control on these changes. The "Genres Cleaner" is an exception also in this sense, all the changes are predictable and wanted since is the user that define the rules. In any case adding this as an option allow the user to use the plugin with the current behavior, sorry but I cannot understand or imagine what kind of hard work is at risky to be obliterated, for sure I'm risking to lose my hard work of changing, translating & controlling the metadata.

That is true except for the fact that only defined genres are allowed.  So, if a genre appears on metadata for which there is no mapping, it is deleted from that metadata.  This is where the potential for a lot of custom work someone may have done to their locked metadata could get destroyed.

 

Get several more people on your side and I'll happily consider this.

Even the behavior that not mapped Genres are deleted is not so friendly :( . So one is not able to predict completely the changes performed by Genres Cleaner.... I think that is necessary to find a robust solution that works as friendly as possible. Ok, another change could be to modify this behavior. In the case that "Genres Cleaner" find a genre not mapped, the plugin have to left unchanged this genre, in case the user want this genre to be deleted is necessary add explicitly a rule for this deletion (so the mapping rule will be: "DummyGenre" -> DELETED).

In this way all the changes performed by "Genres Cleaner" will predictable and safe :) . What do you think ? no risk for a lot of custom work to get destroyed (risk that exist even with the current version).

It works the way it does because most people want to use this plug-in so that ONLY the genres they want to see ever display.  This makes it very easy to setup and you never have to worry about it again.

 

If it worked the way you suggest, then every time a movie came through with some bogus genre definition you didn't like, you'd have to go back into the plug-in, add that to the delete list and then refresh all your items.

 

The way it works now is much more user friendly in my view.

It's true that some time will be necessary perform some maintenance on the mappings, but at least in this way it is possible know when a new genre is added, with the current control will be deleted without knowing that the deletion happened. This is specially risky for the foreign films. Supposing the I have mapped "Avventura" (italian) to "Adventure" (english) and that a new film with the Genre "Aventure" (french) is added to the library. After the library scan (that usually happen after every movie insertion) the not mapped Genre will be deleted, while should be better left this unchanged and give the opportunity to the user to perform the proper mapping. I think that in this way works definitively better (point of view of a not english speaking person).

Perhaps adding the toggle option of allowing 1 genre to be added if none match the mapping list would resolve it. That's how it was tackled in meta2 genre and studio cleaners, that way a user doesnt have blank info in either of these fields and then can easily map the newly added genre or studio when the area starts to get messy again

Ok was just trying to help decipher what i think would be a solution. The way it was tackled in meta2 example will be below, I mainly used this scenerio for studios but was possible with genres as well.

 

Let's say you have your mappings set up and a movie or show you are adding does not match anything in your mappings, like lets say independent is a new genre, instead of the movie or series ended up with nothing you could provide a option via the settings of this plugin to always fill in with one genre regardless of the mappings. Which to me kinda sounds like what the user is after, no blanks in meta, allowing him to map the new genre to something else or just allow it to remain.

But that defeats the purpose of the cleaner.  If 10 new movies come in with new bogus genres, they all show up and the cleaner isn't cleaning much.

 

The plug-in was designed for people who know exactly what genres they want in their metadata and don't want any others.

I have understood the issue, in effect what I need is a Genre Mapper. I end up with writing a little utility that does exactly what I need. If you think that could be useful to others people I could contribute a plugin, but I would need the Genre Cleaner as reference.

 

Thanks
