Disable creating missing tags

[ISeeAll]

I have had stash up and running for awhile and it works fantastic. There is one thing I can’t seem to figure out how to do.

I can not figure out how to get avoid getting tons of extra tags when stuff is scraped. I have the plex plugin creating collections based off tags which is perfect, but for some reason i keep getting more tags that i don’t actually want or need. A super random one is “wall” not sure why that is there. But then there are tons of others that I don’t particularly need as a collection. I know I can do exclusions after they are created, but would prefer to not do that and would like to see if there is a way to lock my current tag list and disable “create missing”.

I have disabled the ai_tagger and just about anything else i can find but every time a new file is scanned i get new tags and have to remove them.

I am using whisparr as my downloader and suspect it could be how that connection is done and that is passing to stash the “auto tag and create” param.

Anyone run into this?

Also interested in knowing if this is possible.

Tag creation if missing is done by the plugin(s) themselves, check if they have the option, since there’s no global toggle to disable tag creation

I have disabled all plugins (ai_tagger, ect). I am wondering of its part of the whisparr call when it triggers identify

[feederbox826]

There is an option in identify to “Create Missing”, I suggest you open up an issue with them to add the option to turn it on/off

I went digging in the c# code for whisparr. Here is what I found.

src/NzbDrone.Core/Notifications/Stash/StashProxy.cs

So it does appear that it is in whisparrs call to stash. I may disable that connection and just do a custom script that calls the same endpoint with my own parameters. Ill open a request to see if that’s a feature we can get as customizable.
