Videos section is a great addition and makes Plex even less desirable to me (even with already-bought lifetime Plexpass).
Q: where is the metadata (that Channels can edit) kept? Is it a *SQL database somewhere, or attached to each media file somehow? Toying with the thought of trying to migrate some of the work I've put into Plex over to the Channels world.
Thx
I imagine in the database with all the other metadata. If so, you can find that database in data/recorder.db rooted wherever your Channels installation is. That file is a Bolt database, which is a key-value database. There are some tools to directly access the database, but because its data is tied to the internal structures Channels uses, I wouldn't recommend mucking about with it.
(At least, the databases used to be Bolt DBs. This may have changed since I last looked at the files.)
You can use the API. Check the browser network inspector to see what happens when you save edited metadata.
Thanks
