Need help using cutoms tags

[34626]

Running Jellyfin 10.9.4 official docker

I found out, that ican from dashboard > users > edit > parent control am able to use tags for what they may be able to access, but also what they are not allowed to access.

Thats very cool, but I then added the tag for a movie the user should be able to access, but it dosent seem to work?

I use the <tag>media1</tag> in the .nfo file, and also tried with the metadata editor in Jellyfin - i can confirm the tags are written to the .nfo file of the movie, but it dosent work - What am i doing wrong?

Before i used age control, but changed that to nothing (default) for users.

If you added tags to the NFO I think you would need to run a scan in Jellyfin, possibly even replace all metadata. Since Jellyfin would insert those tags into the database.

Anyone feel free to correct me. Just theorizing here.

I believe you're correct TDP. I use an external program to add tags (two programs, actually) and when media is scanned into its requisite library, tags are displayed on the media's pre-play page. I don't have anything special enabled, nor do I fetch metadata to grab tags -- these are all custom tags.

Thanks the replies, i have tried to scan, where i can see that Jellyfin does find the tags, but the parantal control tags is not working, i was thinking maby i was using wrong tags,, so maby i should use <Allowtag>custom tag</Allowtag> and <disallowtag>custom tag</disallowtag> or something? Just because the used tags should not appear or be shown as the default tags (Just my opinion).

I found this: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server...ing-users/

With title: Parental Control

Block items with tags Allows you to always hide items when they contain specific tags, you can add tags to items by editing their metadata.

Maby it should be edited to something like this:
Allow or block items with specific tags Allows you to show/hide items when they contain specific tags, you can add tags to items by editing their metadata in Jellyfin.
- Jellyfin dosent use tags in .nfo files

Is there a way to add tags for allowed or blocked content, but doing it to more then one item at the time?

No, but you can upvote this feature request to show Jellyfin developers that another person would like this feature implemented: https://features.jellyfin.org/posts/2653/batch-tagging

Though with v10.9, any tags that you manually set will also apply to any items underneath it. So if you add a tag to a show, all of its seasons and episodes will get the same tag. Likewise, adding a tag to a season will result with only all of its episodes tagged as well. Also removing a tag has the same effect of removing the tag from all submedia.

This is different from v10.8.13 where adding a tag would not recursively apply it to all media under the edited media.

The same behavior also now applies to parental ratings. Though I wish this behavior could be toggled. There are times I would like to only apply a tag to a show and not have it be applied to any of its seasons.
