SirJMD 10 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 So for example, Sci-Fi shows up three times: - Sci-fi - Sci-Fi - Science Fiction Emby needs to understand that "Science fiction" and "Sci-Fi" is the same, and also not to be case sensitive.

Happy2Play 8281 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 That is what the Genre Cleaner plugin does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14910 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 The case-sensitivity is tricky because some of the file systems we support respect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we do is accept the data we are provided. if the providers give us a bunch of different forms of genres, that is not our mess. We do provide the ability to clean it up though.

You did the mess because you all could have easy solve the upper or lower case sensitive as we all know where the root problem is coming from is the 3rdparty metadata and user who enter in the info in the wrong syntax. Weather it be Sci-fi or Sci-Fi or Science fiction it shouldn't be upper or lower case sensitive and in proper grouping as it should be under one genre = Science Fiction any way. It was common issues with Music Player in old day to as well, surely Emby software dev can handling the capitalization inconsistent between Genre with out the need 3rdparty just like the Music Player do now day.

Luke 37058 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I believe we have better handling of casing now for newly added media, but I will test again, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emby does not provide this information it reads this information from provided metadata. There are options if you feel this information is not correct by going to the provider website and changing it. And many would disagree that Science Fiction = Sci-Fi. Sure Sci-Fi and sci-fi are but that is still a metadata issue that easily corrected Edited March 7, 2017 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathsquirrel 741 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Genre cleaner is an awesome benefit of a premiere license. Without it genres are a giant PITA and essentially unusable for me due to exactly the kind of source data issues that triggered this post. I'm sure that there are people that need both Sci-Fi and Science Fiction genres but I'm certainly not one of them. Don't get me started on Action, Adventure, and Action-Adventure!

Then you better tell that to Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fiction and every other encyclopedia definition that they have this wrong when for min, min years now that the sf , sci-fi or scifi is shorting advert to Science Fiction.

Happy2Play 8281 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Sorry just googling it shows many that disagree.

Happy2Play 8281 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) But in the end it doesn't matter as this information comes from a Provider and has absolutely nothing to do with Emby. Emby just reads the information provided. Edited March 7, 2017 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHSPVR 119 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 The only option I have is change the few Science Fiction genre to Sci-Fi if look at SirJMD post it show the same problem but I don't see genre Sci-fi like has is showing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
