A tool for tagging Emby content

[Junglejim 351]

Hi @VicMoore, I've got a question. How do you go about selecting multiple tvshows so you can bulk add tags to them?

eg: Select all star trek shows and bulk add the tag "Star Trek"

It's easy with movies but I just can't figure how to do it with tvshows.

Previously I've shift selected all shows, then deselected the ones I don't need but that can get a bit tedious.

I'm probably missing something obvious.

Cheers.

@Junglejim Have you tried filtering the library with a search string?

Only other way I can think of is ctrl click item then select add item, individually adding them one at a time to create your list.

Thanks mate that could work, I didn't think of that. Then I could shift select from there and bulk edit away.

Will give it a go.

Edit: Yep that's the go.. cheers mate!

This also could be useful but I don't see the "add item". When I ctrl click a tvshow I get to here. Which seems to be a meta editor for that show?

It's a while since I used this tool.

I remember there being a way of the tool remembering the login details to your server.

Can someone remind me please.

Trying to BULK update a bunch of movies with TAGS and GENRES, but it doesn't appear to work.

Is this a known issue?

Do you have the latest version?  I believe a bug fix went into that version.

Also, did you change the little drop down?  By default it says "Do not save", which could be your problem.

Yes, I changed it to Add to existing TAGS/GENRES. 

I'm running the latest version in post #1.

That is version 2.0b with the bug

The latest is  tool_2.0c.zip, posted on the page before this one (page 39/40 for me).

Sorry I was looking at version 33, doesn't look like 2.0c has add item anymore.

Yea no probs, I put my glasses on and had a good look.

It would be nice if @VicMoore could bring the "Add Item" button back.

[VicMoore 560]

JungleJim, I will look into adding that button back. Tell me what you want it to do.

CBers, I can add an option to save credentials on your browser.  It will try to get it done this week.

To select all of the shows within a TV series do the following

1) select the TV series

2) select filter and set the filters as follows:

 

3) click on APPLY 

4) this displays all of the TV shows under the selected TV series, including the TV series folder. 

5) shift click to select all of the displayed shows

6) to remove the TV series folder from the selected items, just ctl click on it

7) now you have all of the TV shows selected and you can bulk edit them

I had a few moments to program:

1)  added the save sign-on requested by CBers

2)  improved IPTV  streaming for hard to play channels like Pluto TV

Thanks mate for considering it. As far as what it does (I never used it in previous versions), maybe just keep adding items till your ready to bulk edit them all?

Obviously I'm not sure how that would work or if even if it's possible.

@Happy2Play provided me with a nice option for selecting certain tvshows (eg: Star Trek) by filtering the library with a search string, then shift select them all for a bulk edit.

The "add item" would be useful for selecting different tvshows and bulk adding tags/genres.

Cheers.

Edit: I just had another idea, what if you add another key combo to just select the tvshow (ctrl+shift+select) instead of going to the metadata editor or drilling down to seasons/episodes? Not sure if it's possible.. just throwing ideas at ya.

I am not aware that "the tool" is able delete any media. It can set and unset (delete) certain meta-information of the media, and it can do that in bulk for a selection of media.

But Emby itself can delete media.  You have tagged all you want to delete with "1080p"? Go to the Emby Dashboard (home page) and click on "Movies" (or whatever you have called your library that contains the media to be deleted). You should see this:

Click on Tags. An overview will open with tiles like this with the tag-name underneath:

Click it, it will open an overview of all movies with that specific tag. Click in the upper left hand corner of the first movie to set the check mark:

Scroll to the last movie and shift-click the last movie. (Hold the Shift-Key and then click the last movie.) All movies should now receive a check mark. Scroll up a bit and a bar with the number of selected movies shows up. The X will deselect them all, the  >  would play them all. You need to click on the three dots   ...

From the menu that drops down, select Delete.  That should do what you want.

Warning: We are talking about bulk-deletion of media. If you have doubts or did not understand the instructions as I gave them, do not proceed!

Cheers,
Roodee
