unisoft 272 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 The TAGS menu option under Television introduced in general release 4.6.0.50 seems to pull any matching tags from other libraries into the results in the TV section. To my understanding, the TAGS function here is to tag television and radio channels so you can add content types such as "Reality TV", "Politics", "Drama", "Radio" categorise the type of channel. I noticed that mixed case names were often converted to lower case tags too which resulted in bizarre mixture on the display. TAGS and UPCOMING should also be options (like tick boxes) to enable or not (default enable) under TV library configuration or somewhere applicable. Not everyone uses them.

Carlo 4330 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 @Luke This should hopefully be an easy fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillmacca01 149 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Easy fix. I know the devs have been really busy with Live Tv, but I posted this 3 months ago, and barely got a response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBSki 1014 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I also noticed that I already have tags even though I didn't tag them. Is Emby auto-tagging channels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillmacca01 149 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) Emby will read tags from your M3U file as well as allow you to create custom ones Edited May 21, 2021 by gillmacca01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it used tags from the guide provider by looks of it for "Kids", "News" etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are we stuck with these? if the provider is adding them it seems removing them wouldn't do any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to remove them, whether a guide update re-adds them I don't know yet. The issue for me, was that anything from my other libraries that had same named tags was being shown the in the TV TAGS section and I wouldn't expect that. The TAGS are really to label and categorise your channels based on content like I stated earlier in my post... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillmacca01 149 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I have thought about how to remove them, and the only way I can think of doing it, is to restrict it (parental rating or another tag) so they stay hidden. @Luke Can tags read from the M3U file be disabled/hidden?

I'm using 4 tuner device and guide data from Emby's provider. The tv channels from the tv tuner have default tagging and I created extra tags. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll find that at the next guide refresh, that the tags will be re-added Edited May 21, 2021 by gillmacca01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the issue of getting provider forced tags? It's could be useful, but not good if we can't modify them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don' think the devs thought that some people wouldn't want them imported, so only gave the one option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a huge deal, but some more flexibility would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
