Movies root folder tagged bu movies not

[skank 85]

I tagged my "3d movies" folder as "3d"

However when i click in one of those movies, it doesnt have the "3d" tag, is this normal?

Sorry i meant "label, not tag

How about labels?

 

Anyway now you are talking about tags. I tagged every file with .3d

But it seems it needs A second tag as well, but i dont see a full 3d tagname, only sbs and tAb , but they are full..

Nobody?

Euh, did you read what i post

 

I meant label not tag

[bluemonkey07 590]

What's the difference?

[skank 85]

Good question , i dont know

 

But like in kodi, you can do both too

 

Tags are in the filename

 

but then you have labels which aren in the name, but files are "marked"

[bluemonkey07 590]

Haha if you don't know how do you know if you meant label or tag?

[skank 85]

Its confusing

 

I want to be able to filter on labels "kids and "3d" in kodi

But it shouldnt be in the filename

 

What is it then? And how do i do it?

[bluemonkey07 590]

In the metadata editor under tag tag them as kids and/or 3d

Or you could add them as genres instead

Well i did "the root folder"

The movies inside, doesnt show it

Strangely

 

Is this normal?

Are they tagged then?

 

So for ex

I have 

 

\kids\Movie X

\kids\Movie Y

 

In metadata editor, i tagged "kids" as kids

But when i click Movie X, it has no kids tag

Tags are not inherited.

I figured it out (difference)

 

For 3d files naming,  --> those are flags not tags

For labels -> those are tags not labels lol

Tags are not inherited.

 

Euh sorry but inherited? What does it mean?

[ebr 16184]

That means putting a tag on a folder is not going to cause that tag to exist on all the items within that folder.  Only the folder itself.

[skank 85]

Oh damn, so i have to manually tag all 400 items?

That's not user friendly

Edited September 14, 2015 by skank

[skank 85]

Or is there a way to say tag 100 items at once?

[skank 85]

Anyone?

You could do something similar to this.

i dont use xml only nfo

[ebr 16184]

Tags are an advanced feature that are not really used much by the server or the apps at this point so functionality related to them is limited right now.

 

We will eventually get to where we use them more.  It is just a matter of time.

[skank 85]

Well,

How would you do it then?

In kodi, i need to create a playlist for those only with "tag X"

You can either use the metadata editor to edit the tags by hand or use the automated method an earlier poster suggested.  Your .NFO files are just XML files with a different extension.  I expect you can adapt the process to them without trouble.

I see ok i'll try
