Adding a Christmas Genre

[ebr 16184]

So, the genres in Emby are generated from the metadata without intervention from the user but if the genre doesn't exist we need to add it to the metadata? You'd think that would be a popular enough genre tag that the metadata providers would include it but I guess they don't. I'm going to go through my library and fix this in the server dashboard..

 

Right - the genres presented are derived from the data about your movies, not gathered from some static list somewhere.  I think you've been thinking of this as the latter instead of the former and that is what has caused some of the confusion.

 

As for the data itself, we can only work with what the providers have and, I guess some of these are casualties of our increasingly politically correct and "sensitive" environment.

I know this is an old topic but I switched servers and had to create my custom genres again. No big. The issue is when I tried to just do movie library scan and the custom genres did not show up. I had to do a full server library scan for it to show up. Can this be looked at?

 

Server: 3.2.36.0

Your issue report is unrelated to this topic, however since we are here.

 

I just tested this, no problem found.

Sorry, next time I will say Christmas genres. How did you do the movie library scan? I selected just updated and new files.

I just ran a regular library scan.

I just ran a regular library scan.

Wouldn't it make sense if I make a custom genre in a a individual library, movie library for example, that scanning just that library would detect it. I shouldn't have to do a regular library scan. That is what I am saying.
