Yes, all movies and TV shows (the main show nfo AND each episode) have tags that are both scrapeable and customizable..

I just went through my library to add a tag for D-Box to ever movies I have that has D-Box motion code available. It's over 1000 movies in my library so the day I win the lottery or my long lost rich uncle passes away and leaves me his fortune I can add D-Box seats to my theatre and can search for and see visual icons (only on the video info screen) to denote.

What I would like is a module that would read for a specific tags, in this case D-Box, and add that module to the sequence automatically.

(2017-07-02, 00:17)Charger Hellcat Wrote: Further, it would be great to have full sequence options based on tags that work similar to the 2D/3D option. If a movie has Disney Animated Classic tag then a specific sequence would launch that would have specific Disney bumpers, cartoons etc. Or Marvel Cinematic Universe and so on. The possibilities would be endless for those who care to put in the customisation work.and based on this thread that's most of the users.

(2017-07-02, 00:17)Charger Hellcat Wrote: My second point was that when launching CV from the info screen having a pop-up display a list of saved sequences to choose from. This way I can have a "full theatre experience" sequence and a mid-range sequence that doesn't have some modules and then a short sequence that only shows a quick intro and the audio codec bumpers (plus automatically controls my lights).

I don't always want to run through my entire CV sequence but seeing the audio bumper as the lights dim would be something I'd use pretty much every single time I'm in my theatre.

(2017-07-02, 00:27)Ragnarok Wrote: No worries at all. I actually went hunting and couldn't figure out where tags lived. I'm going to run your idea by our developer and see what his solution would be. Honestly, what you're asking for here might be a little ways off. Doing it at the Sequence level is easy, but the Module level might require a good bit of development and changes to the core code.

(2017-07-02, 00:27)Ragnarok Wrote: You can do that now with the new Conditional Sequences feature. Choose Disney Studios as the studio and build out your custom Sequence for Disney, for example. When your feature presentation is a movie made by Disney Studios, it will run that custom Disney Sequence.

(2017-07-02, 00:27)Ragnarok Wrote: That should be something we could add in. In fact, I think it's already on the list. You can do something similar if you enable the Queue Dialog, but without that there's not currently a way to select a new Sequence.

(2017-07-02, 03:35)Charger Hellcat Wrote: I'm far from a skilled python programmer but my logic would have me trying to use the same type of coding that triggers audio codec videos based on library audio codec info or MPAA ratings based on the library MPAA info and substitute Audio Codec/MPAA for TAG. No idea how that might work, and of course you'd have to build in the ability to designate the specific tag you are looking for.

(2017-07-02, 03:35)Charger Hellcat Wrote: That would work for ALL Walt Disney Pictures films, not just the Disney Animated Classics. So the same sequence would run for Snow White as it would for the Lone Ranger. It wouldn't work with some Marvel movies because they are Paramount or Universal studio films. Studio is a cool feature to have if you want to do a studio specific sequence but it doesn't address the unique series or certain lists. Tags could do that without having to make the file names ridiculously long.

(2017-07-02, 03:35)Charger Hellcat Wrote: I do know that library tags aren't as powerful as they should be. You currently can only seem to yield positive results in playlists and on the DialogueVideoInfo screen. Other screens in the skin don't support pulls from tags (and the reason is as yet, unknown) so I'm not sure if/how it might be possible. But if/when it is that makes for so many more easy to create possibilities.

(2017-07-02, 03:35)Charger Hellcat Wrote: It's something I've thought about a lot. I don't need the full sequence when it's just me and a buddy chilling to watch John Wick but having the Atmos bumper play and the lights dim would be cool.

(2017-07-02, 03:35)Charger Hellcat Wrote: Another thought is to be able to assign a number of conditions to a specific sequence. For example if you have a sequence like I do that includes a module of short cartoons you might only want those cartoons on family and comedy movies, but not action or horror. So if the sequence has multiple and/or type conditions where it will run if the genre is family OR comedy. And subsequently if you have a sequence that runs for action OR adventure genres. Even possibly adding MPAA rating into the mix so an adventure film that's PG doesn't trigger a sequence that's more adult in theme.

When you build the roots with as many options as possible then the branches will grow and grow like crazy.

(2017-07-02, 22:00)VonMagnum Wrote: I'd rather see Kodi add support for standardized video Meta ID Tags than you waste your time supporting something almost no one uses. M4V has had ID Tag support for a decade now with support in iTunes. Programs like Subler and MetaX have supported easy tagging of Handbrake files now for a very long time. Database scrapers can go down if a web site goes down, the data can be altered by people that you have no control over and they almost never seem to support "director's cut" or "special edition" entries that create a PITA in Kodi when you have more than one version of a movie (I have to manually edit/alter the file name to make sure it sees "(Director's Cut)" as the same movie and then manually change the movie name and tags with a remote control whereas with Subler, I can just load the correct movie on my computer and alter the name tag in a few seconds with a proper keyboard and it's saved forever with no one being able to alter the meta tag data but me.

I don't know how much would be involved in getting video ID Tag support in Kodi or if you could aid in that instead, but given the music player can already read them if you rename a video file extension to .m4a it doesn't seem like it would take that long.

(2017-07-06, 03:36)VonMagnum Wrote: It's just so much easier to batch edit in iTunes (M4V) and even relatively easy in Subler one at a time (click, change, save and DONE) and you don't have to have a mess of meta tags floating around in a directory, just movie files since they're stored in the file. I'm not saying it can't be done with Kodi custom tags, but it's a PITA by comparison (I have over 600 movies already meta tagged and don't feel like making them just for Kodi since they're already scraped as well) let alone TV Shows as well. True Meta ID Tag support would make life a lot easier and you'd never have to worry about setting up a new Kodi setup (or copying over database files from an old setup) to get the meta data added.

I'm probably only going to limit bumpers by year anyway since I use real movie theater bumpers. I'd just like them to be consistent among themselves. I'm not sure this new version will do what I need, though since what I want is for CV to pick a movie theater and then keep all its bumpers together that were used during the year the movie came out. For example, I have all the General Cinema stuff for the 1970s, 80s and 90s and thus if I watch Total Recall, I want it to use the 1990 bumpers together (i.e. "Space Candy" + "Space Preview" + "Clouds Logo Feature") and if I'm watching Goldeneye, it should use the Candy Band #1 bumpers instead, etc. But I also have the bumpers for Regal, Cinemark, etc. (or at least some of them) and I'd kind of like them grouped together when possible.

(2017-07-06, 16:06)Charger Hellcat Wrote: What you are asking for seems to be specific to only 1 video format and is a feature that isn't currently a part of Kodi. You are asking in the wrong place. I have no interest in converting my entire 3000+ movie library to a different format and then re-scraping and having to then make all the additional changes.

Quote:Kodi library uses a local database which can be exported to and imported from local files saved along side all the video, trailer and artwork files. There's an issue that all this scraped information, automatic or manually added, is not usable in all areas of Kodi skinning. Hence why I have a thread inquiring about that matter.

To have CV recognize tags which Kodi is currently built to support, even if not 100%, seems from a coding aspect far easier than overhauling how Kodi works while also requiring a specific video format.

Quote:As for your wanting to use CV on a year-by year basis I'm pretty sure that's exactly what Scott has been saying this new dev build is capable of with conditional sequences. If condition=year.1996 then play sequence 1996. And so on.

Quote:My only gripe is Kodi and the Artwork Downloader add-on haven't been merged and use 2 different naming conventions to operate
