Luke 37244 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 How is this different from creating an anime library with the TV content type, and then having another TV library for regular TV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathsquirrel 741 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 @Allesssswhile that can be true, and it doesn't have to be as many people choose to organize it differently, you can still fully support this model the way Luke described. The only thing limiting you is that the metadata providers don't support the organization that you're proposing so you have to do a lot of manual metadata entry to get things to show up that way. That's not an Emby issue though, it's just a limit of available metadata to scrape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Patt 20 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I can agree that anime are little different. I try same aproach and trust me it isnt worth it. Just scrape it from tvdb or tmdb and be done with it. Then i just use collections to get things like movies and tv series together. I waste so much time to organize it by anime standarts but so many bugs and mistakes in correct metadata. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RanmaCanada 359 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 You can just create a separate Library for anime, and either use TVDB naming convention, or use absolute naming convention. Extras are a pain, and I have gone with starting each season's extras that don't have metadata at the hundred that corresponds with their season. EG Season 1 NCOP and NCED would be S00E100 and S00E101 and so on. As for movies, if they aren't part of a particular series have aren't listed on TVDB as such, just create a different folder in your movies directory called Anime Movies or something and dump them in there. David Patt has the right idea. Bakemonogatari is an EXTREME example, and it really should be in a category by itself. It is the 1% of the 1% of this problem, and I say that as someone with almost 700 series in their Anime library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrape animated-shows from TVDB with season structure. But I have noticed when viewing the genre areas (in all show and move types), it combines both TV-shows, Animated-shows, Movies, and Animated-Movies poster art into the image fields. Unsure if this is a bug or a tagging issue on my end... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37244 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Hi, that's only because the genre images are not specific to each library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
