arrbee99 1559 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Does anyone know how to get rid of duplicates like this - I already have Genre Cleaner installed and ran a Start Library Scan but they were there before and after. For Animation and Comedy theres nothing mapped but for Science fiction there already is - How and where do I find those extra genres in the plugin to map them to existing ones ?

Luke 37056 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Have you tried adding mappings based on your duplicates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1559 Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 @@Happy2Play I know its going to be aggravatingly obvious but I don't see how to. If I click on that Map to button above I hope / expect it to somewhere show, say, Comedy / Comedy so I can map it to Comedy but nothing shows up.

Happy2Play 8281 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) Can you post your genrecleaner.xml (*\programdata\plugins\configurations). But something would be wrong if Genres are appearing that is not in the initialization list. within the plugin Only the genres defined below will be allowed. All other genres from any source will be discarded unless mapped to one of these. But have you tried to "+Add" that "Comedy / Comedy" genre to the list then map it? And where are these genres coming from? Edited June 11, 2019 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1559 Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 Xml is attached. No, didn't try adding Comedy-Comedy and mapping it, should I ? I thought it would find stuff like that automatically and then I fix up the new stuff it finds. Don't know where they're coming from, I haven't added anything myself, so I guess its some kind of metadata. Might be relevant that that xml file hasn't I think been updated since November last year. Also in the images I posted it shows Science Fiction mapped from Science-Fiction and Sci-Fi but Science-Fiction still shows up as a separate genre.

Happy2Play 8281 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Well every genre not on the initialization list should be blocked if not mapped to another genre. I would assume @@ebr or @@Luke would need to see a server log after a library scan. But with my testing the plugin in working on my Windows test system with and without nfo metadata. I deleted a genre from the list and genre was removed from item during scan. 2019-06-11 16:28:32.332 Info App: Genre 'Music' removed from metadata for The Page Turner. Only other thing I can think of is shutting down Emby, deleting the genrecleaner.xml, restarting Emby and going to the plugin setting a initializing each type again and remapping.

arrbee99 1559 Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) Interesting it works for you. Am probably doing something really basic wrong. Still, if anyone gets a chance, here's a log. Restarted server, did normal scheduled tasks library update then did a Genre Cleaner Start Library Scan at about 12:07. I'll try deleting / renaming the xml file if no one gets a chance to have a look at the logs in a day or two, if that sounds ok. embyserver.txt Edited June 12, 2019 by arrbee99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) I can reproduce this "Comedy / Comedy" Genre issue. But deleting my genrecleaner.xml and reinitializing allowed the "Comedy / Comedy" to appear on the list. This test was done in 4.2.0.15. I was getting mixed results adding the genre directly to the nfo ( <genre>Comedy / Comedy</genre> ) would only show Comedy in the UI, but had best results adding "Comedy / Comedy" via metadata manager. I am guessing that name is being parsed when reading the metadata and Comedy is a allowed Genre. Since foreign genres ie not on the list get nuked everytime. Additional information When I got "Comedy / Comedy" to appear on the list, when I deleted it and performed a scan it was removed from the media. So to me there is a quirk in the combine genres where it is somewhat parsed.@@arrbee99Does Emby provide all your metadata?

arrbee99 1559 Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 Personally I wouldn't edit nfo's directly. I don't know where it gets Comedy/Comedy or Science-Fiction from. Browsing through quite a few of the movies that are in those categories, when I click on Edit Metadtata, non of them have 'Comedy/Comedy', either literally like that or Comedy twice in the genres metadata and non have 'Science-Fiction' either, just 'Science Fiction'. Maybe that just shows I don't know what I'm talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that just shows I don't know what I'm talking about. Since it looks like a parsing issue to me when reading metadata, I would try renaming your genrecleaner.xml and allowing a new one to be built to see if it lists these problem genres and remap them. Or manually add them to the list and map them. But the "Science-Fiction" is slightly different. But rebuilding the genrecleaner.xml and remap may resolve that issue also.

arrbee99 1559 Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 Ok, I'll give it a go. Yes, Emby provides all my metadata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) If that doesn't work, we will have to look at the metadata for items within those genres and hopefully it is not a database issue. Edited June 12, 2019 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I think the problem with that specific setup is the fact that a "/" is considered a delimiter in our parsing because - at least back in the day - the metadata providers used to separate genres that way. Luke will have to confirm if we still parse out individual genres from something like "Comedy/Comedy". As for the plug-in showing you the genres you have, it only does that on initial setup because, back when it was designed, searching for every genre in your entire library was a very expensive task.

arrbee99 1559 Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 Just to mention, I decided to rebuild my library.db to get rid of some TV channels that just wouldn't disappear, and now that's done, it seems all my genre duplicates have fixed themselves up as well. Yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't this logic be rewritten to actually SHOW any new 'unknown' genre imported, i.e. one not in allow list nor mapped, as opposed to discarded? That way, user would actually be made aware ot it's presence and decide what to do with it: allow, map to existing one or discard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37056 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I think the original intention was essentially to have it put up a wall so that only genres that you've approved would pass through. But yes that kind of option is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A long time ago, tmdb used to put about 15 genres on every item which made them fairly useless in our system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlosLima 148 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Hi, I use the this plugin and after upgrading to EmbyServer 4.6.4.0 it doesn't seem to work anymore because the button doesn't respond. Thanks for any tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clangrijan 15 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Hello! I installed the plugin and on the first scan, it correctly mapped some genres. But then, I modified some other genres by adding more mappings, and it stopped working. For example, 'Documental mapped from: Documentary' is not working anymore. And the other mappings I configured are not working either. Can anyone help me out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance: 'Aventuras Mapped from: Aventura; Adventure'. It correctly maps 'Aventura' but not 'Adventure'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
