Photo's - Reading MetaData from files information question

[Twistedcloud 7]

Hello

 

I have started adding home photos into my Emby library (videos home videos and photos), I am using Adobe bridge to add the IPTC metadata. 

 

I know Keywords get mapped to Tags I was wondering how Emby map other fields?

 

I want to be able to mass tag photos and have Emby auto fill the following feilds:

Studio 

People 

Genre

 

I can't really find any guide around photos and metadata management for Emby and have been trying a few different fields but nothing but keyword seem to populate.

Hi, we don't currently import people or studios from genres, though i imagine both are possible.

 

Genres come from exif genre tags. Does this answer your question?

Hello friend,

I have posted this question in multiple general forums and also in several feature requests because all of these threads are on the same subject which is talking about or looking for support or asking for features regarding photo file metadata.

Here is a question about how Emby handles the metadata differences between VIDEOS and PHOTOS: As you already know, users can populate their NFOs with the xml code <set><name>COLLECTION</name></set> to gather together VIDEOS into a COLLECTION; however, the only method to gather PHOTOS into that same COLLECTION is to edit manually the metadata for each PHOTO. At present, the Emby database accepts and records four native IMAGE file metadata tags; specifically, date, title, description (OVERVIEW), and subject (TAG).

Can the Emby library database be updated to accept and record a native XMP metadata tag that the PHOTO enthusiasts community could use for COLLECTIONS; for example, ALBUM, which is already commonly coded into lots of different IMAGE file types?

Cheers!
