Genres for TV

So, I’ve talked about the genres a few times already, and now with the TVDB problem, we will have to always use the TMDB genres.
The problem is that TMDB doesn’t have a lot of genres for TV (Romance, Thriller, Suspense and Horror for example) and mixes a few others (Sci-fi & Fantasy, Action & Adventure). This messes the stats, because action and adventure will almost always be the same, and the genres that don’t exist will always have a very low percentage.
Justin explained that with the genre Superhero he uses the tag Superhero from TMDB as a genre. I know that the double genres can’t be fixed (unless TMDB decides to split them), but can the missing genres be added with the tags?

Yes, this is on my task list to use some of the tags. The double genres already split into separate genres on Trakt.

An update will be out for this tomorrow. It will look at TMDB keywords for horror, romance, history, music, and thriller – and will add the correct genre on Trakt.
