Title: Podcasting: automatic tagging?
Post by: Tolga on December 10, 2005, 11:50:17 am

How about the user control on how each podcast is going to be tagged. I don't like the default tags that come with them and they are added into my library. Since they come in, go out fast and I don't care, I wouldn't manually tag them.

I think it will do that at some point. At least that is my understanding. However, I could be wrong.

We aren't sure what to do here.  Your suggestions would be helpful.

Fx you could make users able to assign standard tags to every feed: i.e. all genre-tags should  be 'podcast'.

Also, the user could assign what tags should be for a given feed. I.e. I have a feed called Harddisken from the the National Radio (DR). I could tell MC that artist tags should be DR, the album tag should be Harddisken and the name field should be the date. Or I could tell MC that the artist should be podcast, the album DR and the name hdd-[the broadcasting date].

I hope my example is illustrative.

Doesn't the podcast.xml already (stored in the C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\J River\Media Center 11\Library directory) solve this problem?  With the <tag> element such as:

Quote

   <tag>
      <genre>Podcast</genre>
      <artist>[feed]</artist>
      <album>[date]</album>
      <name>[title]</name>
      <comment>[description]</comment>
      <directory>[feed]</directory>
      <filename>[file]</filename>
   </tag>

the user can force the tags based on the feed content.  It seems this is customizable for each <feed> element.

This is sufficient for me.  For general use, a user interface where you can select from a list of media center tag and you define it in terms of feed tags could be nice.

Title: Custom Fields
Post by: Tolga on December 14, 2005, 10:45:59 am

I couldn't figure out how to automatically tag my custom fields. I couldn't do that by editing the podcasting xml file.

Any suggestions?
