Add multiple genre support

Issue #268 resolved
Former user created an issue

I have my movies organized in XBMC with IMDB metadata. I use the .nfo metadata extraction of Serviio. Currently Serviio only links the movie to the first found genre tag in the .nfo file. But most movies have multiple genre tags. And I would really want my movies listed in multiple genres.

E.g. Star Wars is currently only listed in the Action genre. And not in the Science fiction genre.

    Same problem here. Using Serviio 1.2.1 console to stream media to my Samsung BD-D6500. Except for one additional problem, It seems that Serviio console is picking and choosing which genre tags it wants to use to catagorize my movie/ tv show collection. for example: a movie / tv show with genre: "Action / Adventure / Drama / Fantasy / Sci-Fi" will show up in the Action folder, but another movie(rare) or tv show (most common) with genre: "Action / Adventure" will show up in a new genre folder labeled "action / adventure" instead of picking just one genre, which means if you have a few different shows with different genres the folder list in the genre catagory can grow quite fast and cause a bit of clutter.

    Suggestion: 1. split the way movies and series are treated? (seperating tv show genres and movie genres) 2. add multiple genre tags for movies

    thanks for listening to my rant ! keep up the good work guys LOVE your software!

    Same problem. Out of some 250 SF films, my Science Fiction folder lists about 10. The rest are scattered elsewhere. So I'm not sure what the point of this "Genres" folder is as it stands. Films almost always belong to more than one category. Please fix this - it would greatly improve the server.

    I've been using Serviio for years now and I'm forced to sort my files on my HD by genre then browse by folder. If this feature actually worked, not only could I keep all my videos in one file but it would organize them so much better

    I have been using Serviio for about a year now and this would be a great Enhancement. All of my movies only have a single genre where they have multiples listed in .nfo files.
