Plugin for Tag Management - vong - 2024-12-16

I am wondering if there is a plugin to help manage the tags on media (Movies / TV for me specifically) in bulk?

A few examples:

if a tag "christmas move" exists, the plugin will rename it to "christmas" on all items.
if a tag "this is a stupid tag" exists, the plugin would delete that tag.

This would allow me to create a set of rules to standardize the thousands of automatic tags into a few dozen usable tags for filters / sorting / user access.

AFAIK, there are no tag management plugins. Making changes to the database would probably be the most efficient way of making changes in bulk. Make sure you backup your jellyfin database prior to making changes.

You can also use the API to manipulate tags, you do have to do a full edit via de endpoints the metadata editor uses.

A bit painful, but safer than direct db editing, which I would strongly recommend against.

It’s pretty quick though, i tag about a 1000 shows based on anilist planned data and it only takes a few seconds.

Jellysearch or Malinsearch improve tags and search-ability by EPIC proportions:
