family and familie
animation and animatie
how do i get rid of this?
Another thing.. i cant adjust genres of a movie, how do i do this?
So i can make sure, all the kids movies are in family?
Thx again
You'll have to edit some .nfos. If you're using xbmc Eden (11.xx), then check out the XWMM web interface to help identify genres, and add/subtract them from the database.
After you've made all the changes, you'll have to export your library (as separate files) to actually save all the changes to the .nfos.
Otherwise you can use a variety of other .nfo editors (Ember, MCM, etc.) including manually editing the .nfo text file.
Isnt there another way without using nfo files?
I had the same requirement, first solution I tried was to create a smart playlist, I used three rules to filter by Animation genre, Family genre and Kids genre and then set the condition to one or more rules. However depending upon the scraper used, you can also get some unexpected results when filtering by genre.
So I then created a separate folder to separate family friendly movies from the main collection, then you can either create a favourite or smart playlist and add as a menu or submenu item.
That worked flawlessly as I controlled the content and was not dependent upon the scraper.
However it also meant that it was included in the main movie library which I didn't want. So I then created a separate login profile for my kids, used separate sources so that updating the library under both profiles would be completely independent of each other and the content would never be mixed.
It should be noted that an exciting development in Frodo is the introduction of tags which is similar to movie sets. You create the tag, name it, add the content and unlike movie sets, movies can be added to more than one tag. It's identical to creating Collections in Plex.
So I've created a tag called Family Friendly and added the movies I determine should be in there, added that tag to Favourites and then to the home menu.
Here are some examples of tags I've created:
A Slice of Real Life - documentaries and biographies
Action Man
Aliens, Androids & Spacemen
Chick Flicks
Comic Book Heroes
Cowboys & Indians
Criminal Minds
Drama & Thrills
Family Friendly
Funny Business
Hollywood Classics
Kung Fu Masters
The sky is the limit.
