Where does the metadata for "tags" come from

[LiquidFX 135]

I have a seasonal folders setup, it just has my entire library linked to them and a filter setup in each folder, where does the tags metadata come from. I have some movies that will populate tags automatically and some that dont. I have to add tags like "Christmas" and "Halloween" for the movies I want to show in the specific folder.

Hi, from you. They are user defined.

any idea on why some movies already have a lot of tags, I never setup them up.

Mine come from my xml metadata tag <PlotKeywords> from TMDB.

	<PlotKeywords>
		<PlotKeyword>father-son relationship</PlotKeyword>
		<PlotKeyword>creativity</PlotKeyword>
		<PlotKeyword>friendship</PlotKeyword>
		<PlotKeyword>superman</PlotKeyword>
		<PlotKeyword>part live action</PlotKeyword>
		<PlotKeyword>toys</PlotKeyword>
		<PlotKeyword>batman</PlotKeyword>
		<PlotKeyword>based on toy</PlotKeyword>
		<PlotKeyword>falling in love</PlotKeyword>
		<PlotKeyword>duringcreditsstinger</PlotKeyword>
		<PlotKeyword>different worlds</PlotKeyword>
		<PlotKeyword>lego</PlotKeyword>
	</PlotKeywords>

This has changed over time so it could just be in existing metadata.

how do you get it to fetch the tags?

[Happy2Play 8242]

I use MediaCenterMaster as my fetching/renaming (xml metadata plugin to read these) .  Not sure when Emby stopped writing and using these via nfo metadata though.

Ok, I was just letting Emby handle it all. Guess I will change MCM to do the fetching. Thanks
