Thanks! It's still happening to me. Let me know what other information we need to get it fixed...it's very annoying and seems to be very consistent.

More options to control this are certainly possible. Thanks.

I should add that PLEX understands where the global music video path is within settings.

Hi, Yeah, it is, but is actually the time remaining and it therefore counts down as the song plays. So it's only the full duration at time zero. So, I suppose it depends what the OP is wanting to see - duration or time remaining??? Click/tap on the now playing bar to see the time remaining as per full-screen maximized now playing screenshot above. I don't mind the time remaining on the full-screen, but having the fixed duration (not the variable time remaining) showing in the minimized now playing bar would be a nice addition. It looks like there is plenty of room to add it, for the wider landscape views. It could still responsively disappear as the elapsed time does, for narrower views. Cheers!

Thanks! I wasn't aware of this EMBY feature. The results appears to be the same as my suggestion except that the implementation on PLEX requires zero editing of the meta data of video files. Instead, PLEX does a straight foward merging of identically named folders. If the artist folder names are identical in both libraries then all of the pre-work is complete. The referenced EMBY implementation puts an unnecessary burden on the user.

Hi, In your first screenshot example you have no Artist(s) listed, therefore I think Emby is then filling in the second playing field with the title. If you metadata is created consistent across the examples, then I think Emby will be consistent. Perhaps give it a try - add the Artist(s) in your metadata? Likewise, if you take Artist(s) out of the second example - it will likely work the other way. Cheers!

Yes, will Emby ever make this consistent - so there isn't that exception - and NOT force users to manually turn off subtitles for each episode?

Hi, it is aleady possible with Emby to add music videos to the Artist detail pages, as their own row. You just need to match the Artist names: More info is available here: https://emby.media/support/articles/Music-Naming.html I don't currently have this set up permanently - but managed to create a test example in a few minutes - so it does work, with the web app at least: Perhaps this is what you are looking for? Cheers!

That gives me a better understanding; Using: cmd - is correct for a Windows command prompt What argument is channel.exe expecting? You are passing the actual channel # to it (i.e., 13.1 or 131) I think you may want to pass the full drive/path/filename to it? then use "%recording.path%" including the quotes for [parameters] Leave the [conditions] (where) EMPTY (otherwise it will filter the trigger) Doing all the above would be like keying in the following in a command prompt: C:\Windows\System32\here\channel.exe “X:\Full\Path\Show.ts” Let us know how it goes, or if my assumptions are wrong! There are Other things that could be wrong .

Sorry for post in wrong thread. I understand your point now about how dupe files are handled. But all the recent comments in this thread and mine above are about difficulty or outright impossibility of getting updated metadata into Emby, in some cases even after completely removing directories, rescanning, and then moving back. Please look upthread to this comment and the other users' comments right above that.

I don’t think you understand. I’m asking for a way to hide the tab if is empty

Music videos are merged with the Artist by the same name in the music audio library. Then, when you browse to a singular artist, there is a new as previously described. The music video line is displayed directly after the line with all of the artist studio albums and titled as Extras. See attached photo.

This is the now playing screen I see all day. Is there something else?

Sorry, this post was intended for other thread:

Can you please be more specific though? Where exactly would you like to see them embedded in your music library?

As I just described. Further information is in the article I referenced in my first post of this thread.

Files only exist in the database once. If you add the same folder to mulitple libraries, it will be the same database content. The best way to test something fresh has to be either new content or a new installation.

@Luke Why not try this yourself. So many of us have been reporting this over the years. This is directly related to the problem I have been trying to get you to understand in the thread "Why is Emby scan overriding settings?". Latest logs attached. I cleared Gesualdo directory entirely out of Emby, scanned, moved back into music library parent drectory, scanned, edited some data in MP3Tag, rescanned library, no change, rescanned and refreshed metadata in Gesualdo parent folder, no change, rescanned and refreshed metadata in just the album folder, no change. And with ALL external metadata retrievers turned off, Emby is back to showing album dates that do not exist in the individual album files (which all show correct import times, too, BTW), and the ALBUM is dated FIVE DAYS AGO for some reason. Emby is preserving artifacts in the database that even a Vacuum Database doesn't seem to erase. See screenshots below, all takn 6/22 at 3 pm-ish. Please listen to your multiple users reporting what is clearly an underlying problem. embyserver.txt

Hi, it is on the now playing screen, right?

Hi, did you try using the multi-select tool to quickly create a new collection or playlist based on that?

Where would you like to see them in your music library?

While it does take quite a bit longer to get up than I remember it taking in past, since updating it has not failed to do so.

It's already done. My request is a different feature. It merges your music library with your very seperate music video library. After doing so, you see music videos when viewing your music library. Just as you might see a line with albums, live albums and compilations there would be a new line with music videos. All in one place.

I think that must be it, I had Kodi/Emby enabled in Metadata. Thanks very much!

When a music file is playing, the web app doesn't show the duration. I want to know the song's duration.
