tuvx 14 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I have set the holiday theme, and am prompted with a message to try the holiday suggestions, however, none appear (a menu item briefly appears on the left, but then disappears). How are the suggestions populated (I have many Christmas themed movies)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14850 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hi. It is looking for specific genres like "Holiday" and "Christmas". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuvx 14 Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Thank you, that resolved the issue. Any reason why the new genre "Christmas" does not appear under Movies - Genre (I even tried restarting the Emby service)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14850 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Try running a library scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy 734 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Try running a library scan.Is a metadata replacement recommended or do we still have to manually add Christmas and Holiday Genre to specific titles?

Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk I don't understand the question but the feature relies on your metadata - specifically genres. Those need to be there by whatever means your metadata is usually gathered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enabled Holiday Theme yesterday and it populated about 20 Christmas Movies as "Suggested Holiday Movies" (or whatever it is..) on my ShieldTV. I guess these are populated because I previously told Emby the Genre was Christmas and Holiday. For others that haven't manually edited the genre this won't happen automatically, will it? AFAIK, these genres don't automatically happen unless something changed since last year in the metadata that Emby gathers from the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our metadata providers have those genres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuvx 14 Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 I have checked for my Movies library: "TheMovieDB" (first) and "The Open Movie Database". It did not add a Holiday or Christmas genre, I had to do this manually. Example titles (that are clearly holiday oriented) include "A Christmas Carol", "It's A Wonderful Life", and "A Christmas Story". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36878 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Correct, you can verify that on MovieDb by checking out the genres for that title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicmoon 139 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Really enjoying the holiday theme! It will hopefully allow me to remove a library I use for this, but at the moment it's only suggesting one TV show, "Caribbean Pirate Treasure" lol. I have 65 Christmas movies, but it's not suggesting a single one of those. I haven't manipulated my Christmas movies in any way, should I manually add to their genre field, "holiday" or "christmas"? This isn't the end of the world, but would be neat to see it populate with holiday movies instead of some random treasure hunting show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devdroid 21 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) Where can I set the holiday theme? Do I need the beta? I have latest stable, but can't seem to find it. My client (chrome) is set to automatically use holiday themes. Only one I can set manually is "Halloween".

The politically correct folks that make metadata don't have them flagged. You have to do it yourself in the metadata manager for them to show up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomicmoon 139 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Could this be achieved by tags instead of genre? I feel like a tag is more of a possible note or side-descriptor, where as genre is the most basic summary of the movie. Also, without any form of multi-editing, manually editing 60+ genre fields is probably something I'd rather ask Santa for than to do myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't recall, some where in the past, don't remember which app I used to create that genre. I guess I can convert that tag to Christmas and drop the Movies tag.
