Happy2Play 8273 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 can you please add a Christmas genre folder somewhere it would be most helpful. Sorry your media has to have a Christmas Genre assigned to it. Then when you click the Christmas genre all the media with that genre will appear.

Luke 37046 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Do you have any media with the Christmas genre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobWayBro 27 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I checked IMDB, Wikipedia and several other sources and do not find that there is a Christmas Genre in the movie industry. The closest I found was Christmas Films as a sub-genre of Drama. https://visual.ly/community/infographic/entertainment/complete-list-film-sub-genres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just add "Christmas" as a genre to the movies you feel are "Christmas" related, then you will have a "Christmas" genre displayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathsquirrel 741 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I did this with a collection instead of a genre since that's easier. I created a Holiday Movies collection and just add anything to it that we only watch at this time of year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I created a Holiday Movies collection and just add anything to it that we only watch at this time of year. I think I did that a few years ago but found out there was a limit on how many movies you can add to it. I have tooooooooons of christmas movies so I just manually added a Holiday genre and also a holiday tag so it would play a custom intro christmas intro before hand.

Did you remember to hit Save after adding the Genre? Could you verify the genre appear when you select Edit Metadata on a movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37046 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Ok, the current 3.5.3 release requires that you run a library scan after adding new Genres. It's not ideal, I realize, but with the upcoming 3.6 release this won't be necessary anymore and it will all just work on the fly. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathsquirrel 741 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 That wouldn't show under a Movie genre though, would it ? Nope, but it gets me a grouping I can use with less effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm that adding a genre under the current beta server is instant, as I did the same thing yesterday. One point to note that I found, is that you have to lock the genre data, otherwise if the item is refreshed, the genres get reset to the defaults, i.e. without the "Christmas" genre. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
