Is there a way to add director, producer, and/or studio names?

i would like to create an advanced filter / smart playlist for ‘studio>contains>STUDIO GHIBLI’ or their respective directors and producers. like …

Directed by: Hayao Miyazaki
Produced by: Isao Takahata

they are all listed here Filmography – The Studio Ghibli Collection, i don’t want to cut and paste them all in, cause i have already tried to look them up and can’t find them in plex.

can I add them myself? edit a file or database or something?

If your videos are properly matched, that data should be automatically populated.
You can use Plex Web to manually edit the information (:pencil2: > General > Studio, :pencil2: > Tags > Director, :pencil2: > Tags > Producer)… but that shouldn’t be necessary unless you’ve configured your library as Other Video in order not to use any online metadata.

As a side note… I’ve just checked and the filter you’ve described works nicely on my setup without any further editing.

thanks ,

i will give that a try. although it is unfortunate that not a single Ghibli movie i have has the proper info in it. i have them all, so you would think at least one would have been done properly.

How did you name/organize them inside the folder linked to your library?
I’ve got a lot of them and all have metadata added to them just fine.

i don’t know what happened but i was obviously doing something very wrong, because now its working perfectly.
