Pais 112 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I have been trying to get all my taglines in order to take advantage of the recent display change for the server without any luck. It seems that if I add it via the web client it is written to the movie.xml file. However, if I edit the value in the movie.xml file then upon refreshing the movie in the web client the Tagline field is blanked. Does anyone know if this is supported for xml files?

ebr 12987 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 The default for the server is NFO now. Do you also have nfo files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pais 112 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 There are no NFO files. Do I need to migrate my thousands of movie.xml files to NFO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 12987 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 No, we should still read the xml fine. Why are you trying to edit the xml directly since the metadata manager works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pais 112 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 My movie.xml files come from a third party program and they already contain the Taglines in the movie.xml format written by Emby via the web client. I identified that they weren't being read while trying to get all the existing metadata to load. I hadn't realized that the data wasn't being read until the blog post highlighting the new display of taglines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 12987 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Confirm your other program is writing them the exact same way we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pais 112 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 Emby writes in this format: <Taglines> <Tagline>Test.</Tagline> </Taglines> Here's a sample from one of my movie.xml files that's not read: <Taglines> <Tagline>A simple man. A difficult choice.</Tagline> </Taglines> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 30165 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 it is probably just a timing issue between making the change and then refreshing. try just editing your file, and then doing nothing in Emby and letting it discover the change on it's own through the normal library scan.

PeteMB 12 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I can confirm having the same problem. Emby is not reading the tagline from my movie.xml files, even worst Ebmy is removing them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 30165 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Tested with all metadata settings in the server dashboard set to default. No problem found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pais 112 Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Tested with all metadata settings in the server dashboard set to default. No problem found. Aren't the default settings now nfo instead of xml files? As a reminder the whole purpose of this thread is that there is an issue with xml files.

Pais 112 Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Any chance of getting another look at these issues given the attention taglines have been given in the new Emby Theater? A summary of the issues follows: Emby deletes Tagline added in the web interface and saved to XML when performing a Refresh Emby XML reader does not import the Tagline fields when populated by third party metadata programs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 30165 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 The deleting is by design when doing a refresh. it will get replaced by internet metadata. there is currently no way to lock the tagline field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MndWrp 91 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 sorry to revive an old post but maybe deleting them by design isn't such a good idea ? I mean, fine get them initially from metadata sources, like the rest, but i'd love to be able to edit them, lock and save if the line is too long or simply missing...

Luke 30165 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 It has to be that way, say for example something gets misidentified so you change the tmdb id and then refresh. you don't want data from the previous movie left in there. It's just like any other data. We don't currently have a tagline lock but it's a reasonable suggestion. Anyway to answer the original question of this thread: yes, taglines are read from movie.xml.

Happy2Play 6355 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Anyway to answer the original question of this thread: yes, taglines are read from movie.xml. Only movie.xml created by Emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MndWrp 91 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 My problem is that once the movie is identified correctly and the tagline is missing, i find one i like and add it manually and it goes away at the next refresh. So locking this field as well is a very good idea just for this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 30165 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Only movie.xml created by Emby. That is not true, they are supported in nfo too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 6355 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 That is not true, they are supported in nfo too. In keeping with topic Emby will not read Taglines in movie.xml created by MCM. If no xml is provided to Emby and the server fetches the metadata then the tagline in the movie.xml created by Emby is read properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
