Swinsian tags not updating9/13/2023 ![]() ![]() FOSS is always a plus in my books, but unfortunately it was incredibly buggy and kept crashing. This was my first choice while researching. Quod Libet: Free, open source software (FOSS), extensive library organization tools and plugins available.Pine Player: Free, lightweight, supports almost all lossless formats and playback up to 32Bit 768kHz, but lacks library management functionality.(I have many CDs ripped at 256kbps MP3 back in my teenage days, which I find lacking compared to lossless audio in my current head-fi setup). I have also been slowly re-ripping my CD collection to the highest quality to enjoy my music fully well into the future. With a library of over 10,000 songs, I needed an app with good library management features. I was at this point where I had to find an alternative music library app on macOS. I am still happy my Mac could live to see another day, but the days of iTunes are finally over as Apple retired the iTunes app for Apple Music. After the fix using FSCK and disk repair commands via terminal in recovery mode, I had to do a clean installation of Catalina (the last compatible OS with this Mac). I was still on Mojave then and did not want to upgrade to Catalina as it was probably going to be a bit taxing on my 10 year old Mac. Recently, my mid-2012 13″ MacBook Air decided to fail on me with corrupted SSD errors. What pushed me to find an iTunes alternative I never liked the fact it didn’t play FLACs, would spontaneously corrupt my carefully curated library after updates, and felt bloated to run on old hardware. Long story short, Emby was working as expected, I mistakenly read the movie.nfo when I posted that the new genre was present but not recognized.I have always had a love/hate relationship with the Apple iTunes app ever since I became a Mac user in the 2000s. I modified the TMM program setting to instead update the. nfo files, by default it saves the changes to a movie.nfo file, not updating the originals. Being new to the program, I had not realized while it read the. ![]() Using this program I was able to complete the updates in about 5 minutes. Reading a recent feature request update, I read a user's post suggesting a third party utility Tiny Media Manager. However, unlike collections, this involves changing metadata which there to date is no way to bulk modify within Emby, requiring me to 1-by-1 add the genre to each (probably take a week to complete). My new approach is to create a new genre for each decade. ![]() One of the recent updates for the Fire TV, finally gave us a full vertical view for Genres, showing all movies in each and allowing sorting. many collections have well over a hundred movies and only the first 80-ish are shown) also, you may not sort Collection views. This has always been a poor solution, as the Collection view is still stuck as a horizontal scroll, and the movies displayed is limited (e.g. Since this is not a filtering option (plus the lack of any filters on my primary viewing device of the Fire TV), I chose to create a collection for each decade. With your chosen approach using the SQL random, and the fact that a shuffle is a bit too random with all my movies, I like to group them by decade. I have quite a few movies, and find it convenient to shuffle. ![]()
