Adding/Editing Tags

I want to add certain tags to all of the videos and music files uploaded to my Dolphin. Site a wrote a script that ads tags to the Tags table for an ID number if that ID number doesn't have the standard tag I want videos to have.

So, after adding the tags, they don't show up in the Video Info pain. Yet I can do a search directly in the tag database and see the new tags as well as the tags entered when the video uploads.

Are these tags stored/cached somewhere so that updating the database directly doesn't update the tags on the videos? Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Hi Sammie.

These are tag words to appear in the listing with each video. There is a field to enter tags when uploading files. The tags that were entered when the video was uploaded don't appear in any language files.

So basically, in the Tags table there are entries that contain the file ID number, the Tag itself, and the type of file, i.e. video, music, photo etc.

I'm assuming that the type is required because the IDs are not unique. There might be a photo numbered 32 and a video numbered 32.

So, each tag is a single word listed withe file type and the ID number. If I search for the tags for video 32, then all of the tags are returned, the original tags and the ones I added. If I bring the video up, only the original tags are listed with it.

Is that tag data cached somewhere so it isn't making db requests every time it loads?

Sammie,

I figured it out. The Taqs table is just for searching, the actual tags are stored with the file information in another table.
