Metadata for folders?

[JoshJers 0]

I have my movie collection organized by folders, which I can nicely view using the Emby client (for WMC).

 

Folder structure looks something like this:

Movies->Martian->2D

Movies->Martian->3D

..

Movies->Star Wars->Star Wars 4

Movies->Star Wars->Star Wars 5

Movies->Star Wars->Star Wars 6

Movies->Star Wars->Star Wars 7->2D

Movies->Star Wars->Star Wars 7->3D

 

I really appreciate that Emby lets me use the folder structure for browsing (I really like having 2D/3D versions of movies in a subfolder, even within a series of movies), but I was wondering if there's any way to attach any metadata to the intermediate folders (i.e. the folders "Martian" or "Star Wars 7" in the above). I know that folder.jpg/backdrop.jpg work fine, but I mean title information.

 

The issue actually is that I would prefer, in the "Star Wars" folder view example, "Star Wars 7" actually be listed as "The Force Awakens" since 4, 5, and 6 all have their proper titles.

 

Is there some .nfo or .xml file that I can throw into a folder to change its display name (or, alternately, sort name)? Is there any configuration setting that I need to change to be able to do so?

 

Thanks!

I am doing the same and have a folder.xml file that provides that kind of text display. You have tags like Localtitle, Originaltitle and Sorttitle.

You can use the Emby metadata editor to edit information for these folders.

Thanks! I didn't even know that metadata editor was there (I haven't really poked through the server side of things that much), but now I've found it and edited the folders to be exactly the way I wanted.

 

Really appreciate the help
