A tool for tagging Emby content

[VicMoore 754]

Hello Horstepipe...

I increased the field length to 200.  If you want another length, just let me know. As for the other changes, I can't get to them until next week.  I have some family obligations that I must attend to. All good stuff.

sorry, one more thing

I just noticed that Emby also stores trakt-ids. It would be really nice to also do the same with them like we are now able to do for imdb ids. We could import trakt lists quite easy then.

and maybe rotten tomatoes ids, too?

I will get to it next week

Thanks mate!

[TIHTCM 1]

This is an excellent and very useful tool.  Thank you very much for all of your work on it.  Would it be possible to also view Movies and Series by Folder name (physical location on server)?  I have a number of movies filed by Genre (ie.  Documentaries, Action, etc...).  If I can view them by folder then I can bulk change the metadata of an entire folder using your tool. 

 

Thanks Again!

[VicMoore 754]

TIHTCM, try the code below.  Click the filter tab and select the filter "Don't Show Folders" and select from the pulldown list the option "Show Folders".  Afterword's, the folders will be displayed.  Let me know if it works the way you expected.

Hello Horstepipe... 

I think you can  use more prefixes than "imdb" when searching. The possibilities are "imdb", "tmdb", "tvdb", and "omdb."  Give these a try and let me know if it works.

 

I have not been able to find an emby API reference to trakt id's.  Nor Have I found it while using emby.  Can you tell me where you saw it?  

 

As for searching across multiple directories, the code is not organized to do this.  To add this feature would require a major rewrite.

hey

there are links at the bottom of each movie, also a link to the Trakt site. 
But I don’t know how these are attached into the database…

No problem, thanks for taking a look!

FYI the TRAKT link is per TMDBid.  A url is created from the TMDBid.  There is nothing specific to TRAKT in Emby database.

https://trakt.tv/search/tmdb/85723?id_type=show

https://trakt.tv/search/tmdb/632727?id_type=movie

Or possibly IMDBid

https://trakt.tv/search/imdb/tt8335332

Thanks Happy2Play...

I constantly learn new things from you. I appreciate your help.

Sorry for the silly question, none of my forum searches on this thread returned any results. @VicMoore do you keep track of this html file in github or any other public version control tool? So I can keep track of the latest version of it without having to dig through forum posts?

This is awesome! really appreciate the work!

Hello Khalpin11...

I only post the code here. It's so simple that other measures are not needed. I appreciate you kind words.

Vic

Easiest method is ensuring the first post has the current version of this tool.  So ideally instead of placing in a new post the post can reference first post for updates.

[VicMoore 754]

Happy2Play,  that same advice was given to me by GrimReaper, and I forgot to do it. I will do better  starting tonight.

Thanks for the help.

thanks for clarification!
But for what I'd like to do this won't really help unfortunately.
I'd like to use this tool to assign a genre to movies in lists like this:

https://trakt.tv/users/benfranklin/lists/best-mindfucks?sort=rank,asc

So I need to find a way to transform these list into a imdb or themoviedb list I guess.

Thanks!

another thing I noticed:
The "lock" field should be enabled by default as soon as you edit fields like genres, tags... as this also happens if you do it via the Emby UI.

 

 

Hey Vic,

hope I didn't overread it. What about this one?

looks like

https://mdblist.com

does what I need. I can import lists from rotten tomatoes and trakt and parse the imdb ids there, sweet

I vaguely recall the topic where it was suspected that Vic's tool is locking Genres - and it was not desired behavior (turned out it didn't), so I'd guess one could argue for both usage-cases. Gimme a min to see whether I can find it.

Edit: Yep.

hmm yeah but then the tool behaves different to Emby's "native" metadata editor

[horstepipe 422]

hey Vic,

sorry if I missed something, but what is the difference between "emby new tool" and "emby tag app"?

Emby new tool is working here - when trying to use "emby tag app" I'm getting the CORS error we earlier talked about. Are there features in the "tag app" which are not in "new tool" and vice versa?

[VicMoore 754]

Sorry for the delay. I have been in bed sick. I will respond in more detail later.

Horstepipe, I am back   I am much better now.

You are right, there are two tools. GrimReaper, was kind enough to make a forum for the new tool, but I have failed to keep all of the comments for that tool on that forum. I am a slow learner.

The new tool is a rewrite of the first tool (A tool for tagging emby content) which is the topic of this forum.  The new tool lacks only the menus for tagging channels. I will be completing the rewrite for that in a few days.  The first tool was motivated by my desire to learn the Emby API. So it contains lots of experiments that test that API. The rewrite removed all of this code, including code added for IPTV.  

I hope that I have been able to add the features that you need. Requests from users like you have made the tool a much better tool. If I can help you more, just let me know.

Vic

[horstepipe 422]

glad that you recovered!

thanks for the explanation, so I'm fine by keeping the new tool.

Yes the script is very very useful, thanks again very much!

[VicMoore 754]

Attached below is the latest code. It adds the "LiveTV" for for virtualTV plugin.  It lets you look at and play programs from the tv guide created by virtualTV .
