Search within meta tags

Plex Labs

Hi guys,

I was wondering if it is possible to search through meta tags. For example year.
It would be great to search for a year, or between years (e.g. 2000-2005)

I tried to search for just 1 year, but did not find any tracks, and yes I have years inside a lot of tracks :wink:

You can filter the library views by different metadata – e.g. the date/year/decade an album has been released.

Thanks Tom for your tip!

Plex doesn’t read and/or store dates related to tracks.
It only stores one date for the whole album.

Plex does search within the idtags. So if you saved the year in the tags it can search. Just checked it with my library

I have my doubts.
Try with a song which has a different decade than the album year.

Hi Otto, I tested it… In my MP3’s i have put manually the year of the song, so Plex can search for it.
