How to delete empty genre folder


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hey Guys,
I have a Mixed-Content Library "Documentation"
I change all my genre metadata to "Natur", "Physics", ....

Now i have many "empty" genre folders in my library. Normally they disappear under movies / series? But not under Mixed-Content...

Example, they are all empty, but they don't remove
I think its a Bug, but how to remove manually?
there is a setting file
? I have so many empty folders

Hi, you probably have episodes with those genres assigned. I would check the metadata editor.

that's sad...
i have so many episodes i can't edit them manually

I tried this:
GenreCleaner PlugIn
does not work with mixed content series!

NFO on new episodes
I create an NFO file for new episodes with the content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<episodedetails>
  <lockedfields>Genres</lockedfields>
</episodedetails>

After scanning, the genre is closed, but the genre metadata from the internet is still saved!
Example:

genres.PNG.8eb2572ae5e7db43682f0c1a735a50f8.PNG
Locked but genres are loading ? (Only by first scanning for a new episode)

It only works if you edit the NFO of created episodes and then scan the library. I would have to write a script for that.
really crap.
if only genres for the main folder are displayed, why are the genres for episodes included in the visibility ???
no understanding
