flort 2 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Heya, new to MB3, after trialling Plex. It would seem that search (from the web client) basically only does titles? I'm attempting to use MB not only for movies, but also adult content. I would like to be able to tag said content with keywords (to ah, give categories if you will to different areas of adult content), or to "five star" rate them, such that I can quickly find them later. I see all the metadata capability is there, but search isn't? Am I missing something? I thought to use Collections at the least, but when my adult part is of type "Home movies", that isn't an option either. I'd appreciate any help, as my searches haven't turned up much! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkadius 219 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) I made a feature request long ago that would expand on the searching but I got no feedback from it. Your suggestion could be something that I would like to see added as well but in my case it would be for Anime since it supports tags.

flort 2 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Right, ok. Seems bizarre to me that the metadata is there, and seems to only be used when viewing an individual item?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Luke 37049 Posted November 1, 2014 Solution Share Posted November 1, 2014 A lot more filtering and searching is planned, it just hasn't been done yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flort 2 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 A lot more filtering and searching is planned, it just hasn't been done yet. Nice nice. Where is the code needed? In the web client only, I assume? That appears to be in the server github section? Or will it be done/needed through plugins? Just wondering as I'm keen to assist, depending on backend code types (which in this case looks like JS mainly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Web client - html, javascript, and/or adding new server-side filters. But the main challenge is establishing the UI patterns which I really need to sit down and think about. With the web client our goal is mobile first and then allow it to scale up to larger screen sizes. So for example the proposal in the link above won't work. Everything needs to be touch friendly. So I just haven't found time yet to go mediate and think it through. Ideas are always welcome. Having said all of that, the more contributors the better, and there are plenty of projects available, this and others. So if you tell us your interests and skill sets, we can find a place for you.
