chowbok 77 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 This is not an urgent request by any means, but it would be cool if there was a new library type for old-time radio shows. It could be structured like the TV sections, but would only play audio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chowbok 77 Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 Wouldn't that basically be the same thing as an audio book...? Admittedly, I haven't used the audio book type, but other than being audio I don't see how they're anything alike. A radio show doesn't have an "author" in the same sense that an audio book does, and the "title" is less important than the series and date. The structure of a radio show section would be just like the TV show section, except that the files would be audio format. For example, there might be a folder for "Mercury Theater", one for "Burns and Allen", etc., and under each folder would be season folders containing episodes.

ebr 14921 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 It is just such a niche that I'm not sure an entire type will make sense but we'll see how much support this request gets. If it isn't its own type I'm thinking we could probably shoehorn it into audio books: author = show, book = season, chapter = episode. Or, maybe an audio podcast...

PenkethBoy 2063 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I do this already with "podcasts" - using the "Book" type of library - which is AudioBooks as well as Books then i create a parent directory as you would for an album Library Root\podcast name\podcast.mp3 then you get this and within those it looks like this and you can then sort and refine the order - or be creative with the naming of the mp3 so they are in the order you want etc Also if you add genres, artist, etc as metadata to the files it will be picked up by Emby Yes you are missing the Season equivalent but i imagine you could create additional folders to achieve that - not tried though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runtimesandbox 153 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 It would be great to get a specific "Podcast" media type. Maybe a good time with all the db changes being made? (https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/61079-3603-db-changes/) I know there is/was a plugin for handling online podcasts, however there doesn't seem to be any good way to handle a library of podcasts.

Luke 37094 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 however there doesn't seem to be any good way to handle a library of podcasts. Why do you feel this is the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
