... the more technical folks will love this utility and looking over your code it's appears to be an excellent basis for other developments and enhancements

Following above @rbjtech's post from another topic regarding same tool, one of the directions I could see this evolving would be as a viable alternative to inbuilt Metadata Manager, other db fields could be manipulated just as well. Lack of core mass-edit has been an issue for quite some time, so much that number of users have resorted to 3rd party apps or various workarounds, being successful to a lesser or greater extent; since this would be tied directly to Emby, I'm quite sure lots of nerves could be spared and number of users could find solution to their issues. Of course, it would be highly dependent on Dev's willingness/available time to implement additional functions and, naturally, on community contributions to the same, and even without it it's still a great tool, kudos to @VicMoore.

I wrote this code just because I enjoy programming and learning. I was also planning to add features to simplify my Emby experience.

Below is the latest code.

Save Tags and Delete Entered Tags works.

Should "Delete All Tags" remove the existing tags on selected item?

Yes it will remove all of the items tags

It does not do anything in my case then or I am doing something wrong.  Selecting a tagged item then Delete all just refreshed the screen for me. 

But this looks like a issue in v2 as v1 delete tags does remove all tags.

Same behaviour observed.

[VicMoore 730]

OK, I must have changed something. I will fix it tonight. Thanks for pointing it out.

[VicMoore 730]

OK -- problem fixed -- give it a try and let me know if it's fixed properly.

Yes v3 resolves the issue with Delete All Tags.

[VicMoore 730]

I just made a slight change to avoid any problems if you don't have the virtualTV interface plugged in. I have already added the code to fetch the virtualTV channel info from the Emby plugin API.  I plan to remove this code later. I am just experimenting with a different virtualTV GUI.

Could there be a Select All option?

[VicMoore 730]

By that you mean "select all items", like select all movies or TV shows? Or would you want it on a season basis?

Select all items that are displaying so if one enters their Movies library one could select all and tag all at once. 

[VicMoore 730]

OK, I will look into adding it. It will be a few days before I can finish it because I have some other projects that I need to finish.

Vic

[Happy2Play 9405]

No problem it is just an idea that has come up a lot around here, being able to select all instead of having to multi-select multiple items.

[VicMoore 730]

I just about have it implemented    Please give me feedback on how to improve navigation and other things.

Vic

[VicMoore 730]

The code attached has the "select all" button added. The button will appear when you are on a screen where Movies or TV series can be selected.

I just did simple testing.  The add and remove tag buttons will work on the selected items.

Nice work.  Tested on TV and Movies.

I know users will want this expanded to all library content types.

Mixed Content type libraries will not open.

Playlists library will not open.

Music Videos library will not open.

Books library will not open.

No plugin library will open.

When you are looking at sub folder structure like Home Videos and Photos you may need a indicator that they are folders as you don't really know until you click the item.

 

[VicMoore 730]

to open those use ctl click.    I have to go back now and make things consistent.

Vic

[VicMoore 730]

If a folder name has a light yellow background then it's a folder.

 

Vic

[VicMoore 730]

All content types do open and you can select and play/view the content

[VicMoore 730]

Attached is the updated code. 

You navigate through your emby library by clicking folders to show their contents. Folders are distinguished by file names with a light gray background. Tags are shown with red backgrounds. Items such as movies, tv series, and episodes are selected by clicking with the ctl key pressed. I had to add the ctl key to distinguish navigating with clicks from clicking on an item to select it.  I also added some help text to the GUI.

The 'select all' button works and I find it very useful. Thanks HappyToPlay for the idea.

I have tested playing all content types and they all work. Remember that your browser must support HLS to play videos.

Shortly, I will be adding my jQuery GUI for virtualTV.  The plugin API is implemented and working. Currently I am just fetching the virtual channels. Soon I will be updating them with Tags and other info.  The idea is to make creating virtual TV channels easy.  It's my favorite and most used plugin.
