Can I add Genres under the Shows/Movies tabs? Is the Top bar editable?

[mrmech 6]

My anime library has mixed content with Shows and Movies.

• When I click the Shows tab, I would like to see a list of Genres I can select from, the same with Movies.  I also would like to see a list of Tags.
• Conversely, when I click the Genres / Tags tab, I would like an option to select Shows or Movies.
• It seems the only way to accomplish this is to split my Anime Library into an Anime Shows Library and Anime Movies Library.
• I have some other ideas to accomplish something similar, but I would need to edit the top bar.  Is that possible?

Last thing, does the top bar have a name?  

Thanks for any help!

My understanding is the navigation bar in libraries links are handled with code and probably some .js functions.  Changing how they work or adding new buttons is just not practical.  It would be more of a design feature change. Even if you managed a code hack, the button would revert back with every update.

The Genres and Tags from the top nav bar already stay within the library you are using.  So, yes sorting your libraries would allow selected media types in each library to be shown when you choose a genre or tag for that library.  What you may not have noticed is that if you click on a genre link in a media page, emby shows results across all libraries.  You can also search for a genre or tag by name and when you click on a search result you get genres / tags for all libraries combined.

Hope that helps.

After you have selected Shows (or Movies) you can then Filter by Genres and/or Tags from the underlying Filter menu tab:

 

 

 

 

Notes:

• The individual filters are OR logic - i.e. your filter Genre selections will return all individual choices selected.
• The combined filters are AND logic - i.e. your filter Genre selections plus filter Tag selections will return a more limited set of combined Genre AND Tag choices.

Also, it may be possible to hide unwanted menu tabs and rearrange tabs with custom CSS, if using the web app. Perhaps look in the CSS forum section if you are interested in investigating this.
