Metadata Questions

I have questions… well two. Actually 1 and a query… Anyway…

  1. Who or where are the collections generated? For example, I have Iron Man collection, Captain America Collection but do not have an MCU… or a Phase 1, 2 or 3. Also, My Godzillas are split amongst the generations for the movie series.

Second Part: Is there any way to export the library to say xml or excel? Id like to be able to skim the list for like file names etc.

Of late I seem to be buffering like a S.O.B. and thats on a LAN line

For the first question, the collections are determined on https://www.themoviedb.org/ which is what Infuse uses for the metadata source. You can go to that website and see what movies are in what collections if you have a question on those.

Second, no, there isn’t currently a way to export the library. There is a currently running thread in the suggestions forum to allow users to back up the metadata database to a local NAS file (possibly in xml format) that you can add your support to by clicking the like button on the first post in that thread.
