Genre cleaner

[Clangrijan 19]

I'm also attaching the plugin configuration, just in case it's needed.

GenreCleaner.xml

How did you add the second genre? @ebrare you sure this has ever been supported? Looking at the plugin code that actually utilizes the options, I'm not sure.

I did it from the plugin itself. First, I added one, and then the other. Could that be it? Is it possible that it doesn't support mapping two or more genres to another?

Yes, it originally could map multiple sources to a single target.

I refreshed my movie library and wanted the genres "Aventura" and "Adventure" to map to "Aventuras". The movies with the genre "Aventura" were mapped correctly at the time, but those with the genre "Adventure" were not. Examples of movies with the "Adventure" genre are: Ant-Man y la Avispa Quantumanía, Avatar El sentido del agua, Momias....

I'm sorry if I didn't explain myself well. Another option I have is to remove the double mapping and do them one by one.

I think I've found where the problem is. I don't know why some movies have the "Genre" field locked so it can't be changed when updating metadata. If I unlock it, then the plugin works correctly. The problem is removing this lock one by one for each movie. Is there a way to remove it in bulk?

Thank you very much.

Ah.  Nice find.  That makes sense now.

Thank you very much.

When you manually edit they get automatically locked to prevent your changes from being lost.

Ok, I understand. Thank you very much for your help.

I cant get this to work either. Tried it serveral times now.

I now deleted GenreCleaner.xml, restarted Emby and for testing purposes i mapped "Abenteuer" to "Adventure" (as i want Adventure only) and deleted "TV-Film". Saved an ran a scan. I can see several entrys in log with "BaseGenreCleaner reports change to" but everything remains as its been before. Fields are not locked.

I dont use nfo files, metadata are stores in emby directories

Hi.  Did you try refreshing metadata?

[b3nZol 2]

Is there a way to update certain Metadata, in this case "Genres", only? 8k+ movies... thats why i am asking.

 

Edit: Yep, thats the trick. Thank you.

Hi, sorry, there is currently no way to update only genres.

[b3nZol 2]

Maybe you should update the plugins description that a meta refresh is needed, not only a rescan. Works perfectly after refreshing metadata, thank you

Hi.  I guess we thought it was evident as genres are metadata but perhaps we should be more specific.  Thanks.

[b3nZol 2]

It offers rescanning after saving and that is what it does. It does not say 'refresh metadata' nor does it do that  But no problem, i am satisfied now  

[b3nZol 2]

Weird. For Series a normal scan was enough to remap. Only movies needed meta refresh

[Luke 42077]

We'll look at improving this. Thanks for the feedback.
