Tags. What are they for?

Hi folks,

 

I use Emby primarily to sort/maintain my collection of videos.  I noticed that there's a metadata field for "tags" but these don't seem to be searchable or linkable.  For example, if I assign a tag "paintball" to a movie, and then attempt to list the information about that movie in the web client, I see the tag but I cannot click on it nor can I search for the movie based on that tag.

 

So... what's the "tag" used for?  My search skills must fail me... because I don't see mention of it in the wiki either.

you can assign parental controls by tags. you can also use them in the filtering menu. more robust features with tags are planned for the future

I didn't know this!  This is great and just what I'm looking for!  Thanks!

BTW, I noticed I can add tags for people too, but I don't seem to be able to do the same thing as I can with videos.  Is there different functionality?

To be honest, the fact that people have them is really just due to them using the same editing menu. i don't think we will have ever a function for tags with people. we should probably hide it.
