Use tags for Movies, Pictures, Videos - Dark7992 - 2020-05-03

Good afternoon, everyone,

i'm trying to complete the transition from plex to kodi I am still new and desperately looking for the possibility to tag single pictures, videos, movies so that you can search for these tags. Does the Kodi support? If so, where can I find it? I use the default theme.
If not, is there an addon for it?
Unfortunately I have not found anything for it on the internet:/

Thanks for your attention

Thank you for your answer!Smile

I have already seen this page. If i click on "movies" as described in this pictures,i only see "back, my folder, add videos". Nothing with "tags" is displayed there.

Here you have a picture:

From the introduction of that wiki page...

Tags are a video library feature and require a correctly scanned or scraped library. They can be used in Movies, TV Shows and Music Videos. Tags are not available in file view mode.

Do you have a correctly scanned or scraped library?

Thanks for your answer. Found it now. (I think it's too late at night).
did i see it right that it is only possible for movies, tv shows and music videos? is it still possible for pictures?

Kind regards

Unfortunately not. The Pictures section of Kodi does not use a database/library so there is nowhere to save the tags. Hopefully someone steps up and updates the picture section of Kodi in the near future.
