DaN 47 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Hi, I'm a big fan for emby server, and I love to fill my metadata with useful information about the content using Tags; I feel it will be much more powerful if Tags can be auto-completed based on previous tag entries. a drop down list also will do a good job. thanks, DaN 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37053 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Yes this is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaN 47 Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 I'm sharing a short video for my expectation of how TAGS auto-completion can be; this can apply also to other fields where previous entries are stored and can be reused again and again. example, People, Geners, Studio, etc. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/103260475/Tags-example.wmv regards, DaN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patje57 9 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Yes this is a good idea. Reactivating this request. Using Emby for a few months only, but really surprised that despite the excelent metadata handling, autcomplete feature hasn't been made available yet. Would be a big time saver for us, for whatever reason, needing to maintain metadata manually (genre's, cast,...). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37053 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I agree. We just have not been able to get to this yet. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExpedientFalcon 6 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I'd also really like to have this feature. I'm a developer and would be happy to add it, if time is the concern. Although, as I understand, Emby is currently closed-source, correct? (Apologies if this is a dumb question, I'm relatively new to Emby.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReaper 3286 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Doesn't browser auto-complete already do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExpedientFalcon 6 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) Only if you have browser autocomplete turned on, and haven't cleared your history recently. This also isn't helpful if you prefer to use the desktop app, as I do (because it supports H.265 playback, which browsers don't). What we are looking for is that it would fetch a list of all tags that exist somewhere in this Emby server, and display those as a list.

rbjtech 4255 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Edge with an older version H265 Extension also works OK with HEVC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExpedientFalcon 6 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) That is good to know, however the H.265 playback isn't relevant to the desire for this feature. It sounds like we're being offered a workaround, which is: - Use this specific forked browser - With form history enabled - And never clear the history And still we wouldn't have any tags in the autocomplete that were created before we began the above. So, I don't consider it a real solution. Edited December 2, 2021 by ExpedientFalcon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbjtech 4255 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) This was raised in 2016 - If it hasn't gained traction in ~5 years, then I suspect it's not coming any time soon. Maybe reach out to @Luke or there may be other options using the API for example. Edited December 2, 2021 by rbjtech 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
