Hi ET, So what is different between the meta data on a purchased movie / tv show and a home movie?
That's what I'm hearing here. Could it be something built in to Catalina? -----Original Message----- From: 'E.T.' via MacVisionaries <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, 29 October 2019 5:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Add Genres to TV App Simon, I don't know if you have been following this. Apparently, my experiences is not the same as Tim's. While we can indeed create new genres in the Home Videos area, but, unlike Tim, I am unable to do this with purchased movies. I can change a genre to one that already is in the genre table but cannot create a new one. If you are running Catalina and have your library set up there, try it. Keep in mind, I did not upgrade but rather, a clean install. From E.T.'s Keyboard... [email protected] Many believe that we have been visited in the past. What if it were true?
