Introducing Jellyfin Easy Metadata Manager

[cesar_bianchi]

Hi Guys

I'm happy to announce that I've made my own project available on Git Hub that I built to facilitate the management of my library's Metadata. It's called "Jellyfin Easy Metadata Manager" or "JEMM".

JEMM is a desktop application, created in Java 11. I built it because all the content I make available in my instance is private and not available on IMDb or TheMovieDb. I imagine that other users might have the same problem, so I thought about making the project available in open-source mode to the entire community.

Filling in all the metadata fields is a difficult task when you have large content and I was looking for a solution that could automate part of this process. You can define metadata for a folder and replicate it to all child items quickly with a single click, or manage items individually.

The initial version does not yet have a user manual, however it is a very intuitive and simple to use tool. Over the next few months I intend to complement the documentation and add new features as well.

If you want to know more about the tool, see: https://github.com/CesarBianchi/Jellyfin...ataManager

So, I hope you like it!

Exciting! Could make home movies great again.

Even though most of my stuff has metadata, this is still a pretty cool looking tool for tweaks, etc.

This is a very neat little tool, thank you very much for the time you put it into it, will def come handy!

Looks great! Can the tool be used to batch edit metadata (say, tags) for multiple files across different folders or does it only work for a given folder and its files/subfolders?

[FatMax1492]

Does this application edit the metadata of the files directly, which is then read by Jellyfin?

Or does it edit the values within Jellyfin itself?

Rainbow-colored circles spin for a long time but modifications are not being applied I don't know why.

It appears you can mass add tags and genres to Libraries and their contents, however there isn't a way to remove them in mass. Unless maybe you add all existing tags to the parent folder and hit 'Apply for folder and contents' and then remove the tags from the parent folder and hit the button again. Either way unless you have all your content separated into folders for each tag or genre you want to add it is pointless. There is no way to add or select multiple individual files to then mass edit them.

Not that I have done anything with this as I too also just get a loading icon and nothing ever happens in the program or outside of it. Which is all very sad because this is very close to what I have always dreamed of for Jellyfin metadata editing..

I am assuming it edits the values within Jellyfin since it auto-populates with your Libraries and playlists, showing their contents as sub-folders. Could be wrong though.
