Tag-system features

[CrimzinD]

I was wondering if there could be a couple of additional features around tags.
Right now, we can tag specific sections of video, which is awesome.
I wish I could tag a whole video, like Genre, so I could search or filter things.
I also think it would be awesome if you could specific tag or combination of tags that are applied to sections of video, and HSVR could on the fly switch to video sections that have those tags.

In the video tags menu, if you press "Add Track", it'll add a new tag that spans the entire video length. You can use the autoseek feature to automatically jump to sections that have the tag specified in the "autoseek" input box. To combine tags, use the "," character. For example: "tag1, tag2" (without the double quotes) will search for sections of a video that contain both tag1 and tag2 simultaneously. You can use the "+" symbol to make tags optional, such as "+tag1, +tag2" to search for sections of the video that contain either tag1 or tag2. The "-" symbol will avoid the specified tag.

I mean more on a global level.
1) I'd like to be able to search/filter videos by what tags they have.
2) I'd like to be able to have HS jump from Video A to Video B, based on the tag.
If I have videos A, B, C, and D, and I have sections of each tagged as "Trippy", I'd like to be able to have HS play the section(s) with that tag until that section ends, and then jump to the next/random video and it's section tagged "Trippy". Even better if it can look for a combination of overlapping tags. I.e, play video with overlapping tags of "Trippy" and "Colorful".

Basically, on the fly video compilations, based on tagged sections.

In the left side panel, under the Media Library group, click on "All". You can then search your entire media library for the tag you want, The autoseek tags feature in the video tags menu will automatically skip to the next video in your current queue that matches the tag criteria.

For example, click on "All". Then play a video from that menu in order for the app to queue up all of the videos. Go to the video tags menu. Type in (without the double quotes): "Trippy, Colorful" in the autoseek tags input box. Enable the toggle to the left of the autoseek input box to enable the autoseek feature. Now the player will jump to all sections that contain overlapping Trippy and Colorful tags. It will automatically jump to the next video that contains those tags as well.

Holy crap, that's awesome.
Apologies for not getting it the first time you explained it, I appreciate the patience and explanation.

It seems like I've moved some files around. I had tags on those videos, but since the file has moved, it doesn't seem to be attaching the tags to wherever I moved the videos. So, it's trying to switch to / play files with tags that it can't find? Any way I can fix this without having to move files back, or re-do all the tags I've already applied?

You'll have to move the file back, go to the video settings, then press the save icon next to the "Global Settings" label at the top. This will save an ".hsp" file, which you can then move with the video file to the new location. Opening the video file in the new location will load the saved settings and tags from the hsp file. If you don't feel like copying large VR video files back and forth, just copy a small dummy video file and rename it to match the old video file in the old location, then export the hsp file.

It doesn't seem like I had to move or make any dummy files, it let me just select a video and save the .hsp files. Awesome again, thank you!

Could you please DOCUMENT this feature and what all the buttons do?
Currently "help" only has a few lines about focus and projection
but most of the unnamed or confusing buttons are never explained to the user.

[marcus]

That "autoseek" not only seeks but switches video is not expected.
That after using the button" autoseek it needs to be enabled is not self-explaining.
That the button to enable it only has some symbol and no text doesn't help.

I think .hsp files should always be stored next to the video,
so the user doesn't have to find out that an "export" even exists and what it does to begin with.
