Copy tags/collections across multi versions

[crusher11 1101]

At present, because Emby is dumb, tags and collections are only applied to whatever the default NFO is when you edit it.

Is there a way - plugin, script, NFO find-and-replace hackery, anything at all - to merge this information so that each tag/collection present in any version is present in all versions?

I sorta remeber an old topic about tagging - and issues faced with multi-version items due to db structure. Will need a minute to find it. 

Here (long read, though). Maybe @chefor @rbjtechmight remember more about particular issues encountered and/or why the idea was eventually abandoned.

I copy the relevant parts from the 'main' nfo file into the nfos for the other versions, but I also don't need to do it very often. I'm not sure if there's a more convenient workaround.

Plenty of ways to do it - as you have already identified - NFO, API etc  - but a short answer to your question is no, there is no automated process to do it out the box without scripting.

I know nothing about scripting, I don't suppose anyone has written anything up that will do this?
