TV Episode Genre Tag

I Can tag an entire TV Series with a Genre but is there any way to tag a specific episode of that TV series with an additional Genre?

No, genre is only available for the series as a whole.

Can a single TV episode be part of a Collection or is that also the entire series only ?

I’m trying to create a Collection of Movies and TV that are all Star Wars. There are some episodes of shows that are Star Wars specific but NOT the entire series. Is there something I should be using instead of a Collection?

Thanks!

No, sinlge episodes cannot be members of collections either.

The only thing that can combine single episodes and movies, is a (dumb) playlist.

Thanks for the info, agreed the playlist method is too dumb to even use.

I was merely referring to the difference between a ‘smart’ and a ‘dumb’ playlist:

Ha! I gotcha; I try to avoid the playlists because they are not easily organized and can’t be shared… which I always considered ‘dumb’.

Tagging individual episodes with genres or other tags would be VERY beneficial.

Example…You have entire collection of Bugs Bunny and Looney Toons (never too old for classics).
https://www.thetvdb.com/series/looney-tunes/seasons/all

While you can get all this organized per tvdb’s listings, which has season as year of first airing…what if you want to see all Bugs Bunny episodes? Or all Musical/Orchestra related episodes (IE, Barber of Seville)? Or all Tweety? There is no option that I can find, other than renaming each title to include a tag at end, against which to search for. “Barber of Seville (Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Orchestra)”

Any one else with ideas?
