Genre cleaner


Recommended Posts

I am having the same problem, except the genre mapping never seems to take effect no matter how many times I refresh metadata on the library. What I have done is map the genres in my TV Shows library to combine a number of the genres. I have saved the configuration. Then done a re-scan of files in the library. Then, I refresh the metadata at the library level. THen, I wait, and nothing happens. I feel like I have missed a step in the process. Is my workflow complete or is there some other step I need to take to make the genre mapping effective?

I will upload some screenshots and a log. Basically, the process is:

1) open Genre Cleaner Plugin

2) got edit on TV Shows library

3) map redundant genres into one (i.e., biography, docudrama, etc. into Documentary; Action, Adventure into Action & Adventure)

4) Save and exit Genre Cleaner

5) go to Libraries

6) set TV Show library to Refresh Metadata and wait for completion.

7) after 100% reached, check genres on TV Show library (no change)
