I agree with hill89. I refer the issue to the administrators of "TheMovie Database". In Spanish it would be "Musical" genre.

Will you please add "Short" type in editing genres. Thx in advance.

... and so I landed here ...

Hi guys,
just to note: the correct spelling of "Science Fiction" in German is "Science-Fiction".
See the entry in the Duden (the "German Merriam-Webster"):

Currently the dash between the words is missing, correct?
Well, I suggest you post your question in this conversation.

Genres - Movies & TV Show
There is a topic especially for Genres.
https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/51b5fe1a760ee359996a0e62
This implementation work has been stalled for some time.
But I believe that when work is resumed, this will be the basic topic for implementation.
So I suggest you post your request there.

Why "short" should not be included?

Because the genre is something you set looking at the content of the film. You place a film in the "short" genre looking at its running time. And you still don't have all information because you'd have to set a line separating "short" and "non-short". Where? 15 minutes? 45 minutes? Besides, a "short" film has a "real" genre like "comedy" or "science-fiction". You can always filter by "running time < X". If you have "short" as a genre perhaps you should consider "long" for Hindi films, typically exceeding 150 minutes.

About primary genre or subgenre... in my personal database I store up to 3 genres for each film. You can say the film "participates" from those genres. So you can have crime/comedy, horror/musical or drama/romance/musical.

The same reasoning can be applied to "TV movie" or "animation". A TV movie is a "drama" or "romance" or whatever and the same for "animation". In my vision those are not genres. They are simply data in the same category as "color/B&W". A film is "real image" or "animation" and perhaps "mixed" like Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The same way you don't say "color films" is a genre you can't say "animation" is. The animated film will be "romance" or "science-fiction" or whatever.

I totally agree with Hector. The length of a film material should not be used as a way of classification.

Re Hector's post: Agree also. Running time has nothing to do with subject matter/content, i.e. genre. "Short" might be used as a keyword, however; or else TMDB needs to add a field to Runtime to distinguish formats such as shorts, features, serials, multiparts (non-serials), maybe others (?epics).

Hello,

In French, two genres are not translated yet:

• Action & Adventure : Action & Aventure
• War & Politics : Guerre & Politique

Seria possível adicionar os Gêneros: Suspense e Biografia, em Português (Brasil)? Ficaria muito mais precisa as nossas correções....

Hi,

Would it be possible to add a genre for Sport(s)? There's a lot of movies/TV shows on here that could do with being added to this genre. An example being - https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/1082844-manny-pacquiao-unstoppable-force on IMDB it is listed as Sport - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt24132988/

Thanks

For the TV genres:

• Romance (tons of dating shows, relationship shows, etc)
• Game Show
• Competition (tons of those, cooking, baking, racing, survival, etc)
• Cooking (shows just for cooking & baking food)
• Home (improvement, design, decorating, renovation, flipping, etc)
• True Crime (so many)
• Court
• Miniseries
• Special (awards ceremony, induction ceremony, holiday special, fundraiser, etc)
• Health
• Spirituality

Can we add "horror" genre to TV shows as well?

I agree to them above.

• *maybe a genre called "love&sex" would fit for all that dating stuff too. The first series that come to mind are Das Geschäft mit der Liebe - Frauen aus dem Osten, Bauer sucht frau, Amore unter Palmen - Fremdenverkehr und mehr - I don't know if thats romance haha.
• **this and gaming show are nearly the same. One to have would be fine enough.

in terms of movies I agree to @lohe that we need short as a genre for reasons he stated. (Animation should be kept though, why TV Movie exists idk either). It's a problem for third parties - and it's users - too, letterbox has decided to define everything with 40 minutes or less as a short since this information is not at tmdb(the key word segment is a kinda low priority task when editing).. "Sports" is also needed, since there are many sports films, documentaries, talks and more in the database, the core content of which is then not recorded in the genres, only in the keywords (in case someone has added it).

I'd like to see biography as well.

Not the same - game shows are different than dating shows. Game shows like Jeopardy, Family Feud, Wheel of Fortune, etc. Romance would cover dating shows, relationship shows, wedding shows, etc.

I was reffering to competition (**) with the second point.

OK. Got ya.
