Expand Boxee's default array of available Genres
This is a feature request / enhancement request.
If possible, it would be nice to have the box sort by custom genres as defined in user-generated .nfo files. By default, Boxee has a limited array of standard genres, according to this URL:
"The genres tag can include only the supported descriptors, they should be separated be space and comma. “,”."
Genre List: ACTION, ADVENTURE, ANIMATION, COMEDY, CRIME, DOCUMENTARY, DRAMA, FAMILY, FANTASY, FILM_NOIR, HISTORY, MUSIC, MUSICAL, MYSTERY, NEWS, ROMANCE, SCI_FI, SHORT, SPORT, THRILLER, WAR, WESTERN
"Western?," "War?," "Sport?," these are not applicable Genres in my universe.
The ability to add "FOREIGN," "INDIE" and other user-defined genres would be wonderful. Thanks for considering it.
In the NFO files you can add whatever genre you like. The Boxee Box software does not restrict you in any way. This is also for example how the 3D overlays are added, by adding a "3D" genre.
As for browsing the genres; the list unfortunately comes from the Boxee Servers. When we replace those (future stuff, don't expect this within the next month) the genre list will definitely be updated with some more logical stuff...
Thanks for explaining. I was indeed talking about browsing the genres. (I already add custom genres to my nfo files.)
I didn't realize the genres for browsing were pulled from the boxee servers. Thank you.
I'll leave it open for now, since I want to address this when changing the server stuff... It'll get done (at some point ;) )
This is exactly what I'd like. Christmas, Disney, Super Hero / Comics, etc...
