I have a lot of playlists and am trying to better organize them. The TAG feature is a help but I have only been able to tag them one by one. I think it would be helpful to add a tag to a group of selected playlists. As of now that is not an option when multiple playlists have been selected. The only options I see is to either favorite them or delete them. If there was an option to either add existing tags or even new it would enhance usability of this already outstanding App! My playlists are organized in Emby by tags. An even better solution would be to respect those tags on import.
Problem solved:
I makes it much easier/faster to create an organized playlist structure.
Brought benefits:
Usability is enhanced, allowing you to spend less time looking for what you want to listen to and more time listening.
My son is studying CS in college and has been trying to learn by interacting with my Emby server instance. He actually added the Tags to Emby for me based on some parameters I gave him. I asked him about it and he sent me what I pasted below. I hope it helps. If not my apologies for wasting your time.
Thanks
Example Call for Getting Playlists with Tag Info:
<EMBY_URL>/Items?IncludeItemTypes=Playlist&Fields=Tags&ParentId=<PARENT_ID>
where PARENT_ID corresponds to the selected library’s ID
The Items API endpoint takes a bunch of different parameters, including the Fields parameter allows you to specify additional fields to be returned.
Including the field “Tags” allows us to get the information associated with the tags for each playlist.
When you include “Tags”, the API returns “TagItems” which is a list of tags. A minimal example is shown below:
Each tag is assigned a unique id, but we’re mainly concerned with the text of Id (e.g. “TagTest” in this example).
