Title: Auto Import Genre Tag Cleaning - Problem Solving
Post by: datdude on December 29, 2013, 09:48:29 am

When I rip blu-rays and auto import them as mkvs, I'm able to do some nifty tag cleaning using expressions on the NAME field to remove and/or replace various characters so only the real movie name appears. This is not working on the GENRE field and I have a feeling its because that is a 'LIST' type filed instead of 'STRING'.

For example I would like to take the movie Genre data 'SPORTS FILM' and replace it with just 'SPORTS' using an expression on auto import. Right now the REPLACE expression does nothing on auto import for the GENRE field.  Is this possible and what would the exact expression need to be?

Thanks

Automatic Metadata lookup happens after Tag on Import.  That's necessary because otherwise you can't use Tag on Import rules to massage the info that will be used for the Auto Metadata lookup.  But it does also mean you can't do the reverse and alter the automatic metadata on import.

Understood, bummer.

Is there a way to apply tags via a bat file?

Thanks.
