GhostRider 49 Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Hi I have noticed that on my system running server version 3.0.5135.31685 on a Windows 7 PC that a film with more than three genres only the first three are used. E.g. a film with four genres the fourth genre is not shown in the metadata and does not appear when viewing movies by genre. Attached is a screenshot of the movie.xml film for the genre section with four entries. Also Attached is a screenshot of the Server dashboard edit metadata view - only the first three genre are shown. In the dashboard the film is not listed under the fourth Genre: "war" in this example. The same occurs when viewing genre on the Media Browser Classic client (Chocolate theme). Is there a genre limit or is there something wrong with the movie xml file? (I am unable to attach the movie xml file). Many thanks
GhostRider 49 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Any suggestions why the fourth genre is being ignored in my example? I noticed that the war genre had very little in it so looked for some films that I expected to be in the war genre. The XML file for the movie looks OK but the movie does not appear when viewing the genre category. Edit > just checked some more movies, those with four or five genres only the first three are being used in the view by genre. Edited February 16, 2014 by GhostRider
ebr 16170 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Do you have the Genre Cleaner plug-in installed?
bigjohn 753 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Testing with the same version of MBS, I can't reproduce the problem. Added genres through the interface and through a text editor with no issues. Movies are showing up in all 5 genres I'm working with.
GhostRider 49 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Do you have the Genre Cleaner plug-in installed? Hi - no I haven't got the genre plug-in installed. No server plugins at all installed. Edited February 17, 2014 by GhostRider
Abobader 3464 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Edit > just checked some more movies, those with four or five genres only the first three are being used in the view by genre. Good day. After you save the edit for adding more genres for the titles you testing, did you run library scan? My best
GhostRider 49 Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 Hi Yes, I did run a scan on the server. It is a consistent issue. Another example this time for Avatar: Four Genre, Four Studios in XML File: Only first three Genre appear in dashboard but all four studios are shown: Film Avatar is not displayed in the Sci-Fi genre when browsing by genre. Any further ideas what to try to fix this please? I can force the server to totally rebuild the genres?
Abobader 3464 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Good day, Luke, I can confirm the issue here, here my test: I add forth genre to a title, then went to metadata setting, and disable genre off, then save and refresh, still at webclient it display 3 genres only. My best
Abobader 3464 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 It even do not save the forth genre when I do refresh. Here the server log: http://paste2.org/3WmaXfYj\
GhostRider 49 Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 Good to hear that the cause of the issue is understood. Many thanks for looking into this.
Luke 42077 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 it doesn't repro on the dev build so there isn't much for me to look into
Luke 42077 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 works for me. i tried both using the editor, and adding directly to xml. worked in both cases.
Abobader 3464 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Good day, I mark the thread back to unsolved since Luke still can not find the issue, but to me at least, it a bug My best
Abobader 3464 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 @@Luke Only if you do not click "refresh", refresh will wipe that. Even if the metadata settings luck the genres option, as I set it up to the "Off".
Luke 42077 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 with the new refresh option in the dev build, "add missing data only", it will not wipe it. in the release build you edit the xml and then wait for the library scan to pick up the change.
Abobader 3464 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 So the issue here not the limit matters as this thread about, it simply refresh issue that wiped the genres setting no matters what.
Abobader 3464 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 with the new refresh option in the dev build, "add missing data only", it will not wipe it. in the release build you edit the xml and then wait for the library scan to pick up the change. The issue that why then when the option off at metadata setting lock the genres, and the wipe still happens.
Luke 42077 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 The issue that why then when the option off at metadata setting lock the genres, and the wipe still happens. bug maybe? I can't reproduce that either. not in the dev build at least.
Abobader 3464 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 bug maybe? I can't reproduce that either. not in the dev build at least. Sound like it buddy, but better I do more test. I thought I was dreaming about one issue: When I do it from the movies tab on the edit title, it work without problem. But when I go to the "media folder - to my Movies collection" it failed. I will do more test shortly and give a reply.
Abobader 3464 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 bug maybe? I can't reproduce that either. not in the dev build at least. Yes, confirm it a bug, here the server log: http://paste2.org/CWfD1vWF 1
GhostRider 49 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 That is great news, is that a new dev build? Nothing showing up yet at my end and I have set to beta build.
Luke 42077 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 well it's great news except there weren't actually any changes
Abobader 3464 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 That is great news, is that a new dev build? Nothing showing up yet at my end and I have set to beta build. Yes, regarding the fix issue. The issue was here that when you add a custom genre to a title and save, then do this: When you click save, then any time you run library scan, it will keep your custom genres.
Abobader 3464 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 well it's great news except there weren't actually any changes lol Well buddy, now library scan will apply the rule you did at "metadata settings"
