Config for EmbyCollections tag

Hello forum, I have spent days and weeks researching how to define a jpg metadata tag to conform to Dublin Core, and trying dozens of different config and exiftool commands, but have not been successful.

The purpose of the Dublin Core in the XMP is because of the parsing requirements of a media server tool I am using for media called Emby.

I am attempting to load a custom metadata tag that will parse to a tag used by Emby that they have titled 'embycollections'.

The Emby required embedded xml code for my tags is shown below and the administrators at Emby have pointed out that my code which does not contain the 'bag' or 'li' coding is mismatched when compared to their parsing rules for Dublin Core XMP subject and XMP title metadata, which all work perfectly fine.

I have tried so many different combinations of config text that I am having trouble remembering what I have tried and what I have not tried. I turned 60 recently and I guess I am having a little trouble remembering the iterations.

Would anyone in this thread have any interest or time to point me in the right direction?

Thank you in advance. -Gregg

Can you show us the config file you have created so far?
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype
