"dialog from the Metadata Cleaner Plugin" in the EmbyPluginUiDemo

[TomPipe 0]

In the Emby SDK demo code, there's this sample dialog which states it's from the "Metadata Cleaner plugin".

Is it a 'real' plugin, and if so, where can this plugin be found? Looks like it might be useful

I have to admit I've never heard of it. Based on that Quick Help dialog, I'd say Genre Cleaner plugin would be closest in function, but as a name, 'Metadata Cleaner" plugin is completely unknown and unheard for me (though it might've existed at some point in the past, before myself joining Emby community few years back). Or it might be something new, under development.

Aaah, well that explains why i couldn't find it anywhere. Can you share any further info. It looks great.

 

Thank you both.

It's a successor plugin to both "Genre Cleaner" and "Studio Cleaner"
A main difference is that it can (optionally) retain new Genres/Studios which aren't part of the configuration yet, and allow you to make configure these later, instead of instant deletion like the current plugins.

It's 95% completed but was blocked for a long time, waiting for a server change, then it got kind-of de-prioritized.
