Holiday Suggestions

Recommended Posts

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)?

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)?

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?

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.

Okay. 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.

No, you do not need to do this manually.  Our metadata providers have those genres.

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".

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.

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".

Yes. 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.

Appreciate the heads up! I guess I'll start editing

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.

"Genre" is the proper attribute here IMO.

It is looking for "Christmas" or "Holiday" not "Christmas Movies"

 

Where did that genre come from?

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.

Thanks, added a "Christmas" genre and now they show up.
