jgauthier 13 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I'm not sure if this should be under server or web app. But I have an artist and all the tracks names (title) are strange. [omitted]: On further inspection the ONLY file with the wrong characters is Track 1. id3info 01\ So\ Long\ Lovey\ Eyes.mp3 |grep === === TIT2 (Title/songname/content description): So Long Lovey Eyes === TALB (Album/Movie/Show title): No Deliverance === TRCK (Track number/Position in set): 1/10 === TPOS (Part of a set): 1/1 === TCON (Content type): Rock === APIC (Attached picture): ()[, 3]: image/jpeg, 120333 bytes === PRIV (Private frame): (unimplemented) === USLT (Unsynchronized lyric/text transcription): ()[XXX]: So long lovey eyes === TYER (Year): 2008 === TPE1 (Lead performer(s)/Soloist(s)): Toadies Track 2: id3info 02\ Nothing\ To\ Cry\ About.mp3 |grep === === TIT2 (Title/songname/content description): Nothing To Cry About === TALB (Album/Movie/Show title): No Deliverance === TRCK (Track number/Position in set): 2/10 === TPOS (Part of a set): 1/1 === TCON (Content type): Rock === APIC (Attached picture): ()[, 3]: image/jpeg, 120333 bytes === PRIV (Private frame): (unimplemented) === USLT (Unsynchronized lyric/text transcription): ()[XXX]: You say you're never coming out === TYER (Year): 2008 === TPE1 (Lead performer(s)/Soloist(s)): Toadies Executed: id3tag -A "No Deliverance" 01\ So\ Long\ Lovey\ Eyes.mp3 +++ Album = No Deliverace Tagging 01 So Long Lovey Eyes.mp3: attempting v1 and v2, tagged v1 and v2 Rescanned library: Before changing the TALB attribute the TIT2 attribute shows perfectly! === TIT2 (Title/songname/content description): So Long Lovey Eyes === TRCK (Track number/Position in set): 1/10 === TPOS (Part of a set): 1/1 === TCON (Content type): Rock === APIC (Attached picture): ()[, 3]: image/jpeg, 120333 bytes === PRIV (Private frame): (unimplemented) === USLT (Unsynchronized lyric/text transcription): ()[XXX]: So long lovey eyes === TYER (Year): 2008 === TPE1 (Lead performer(s)/Soloist(s)): Toadies === TALB (Album/Movie/Show title): No Deliverance So, i tried to change it: id3tag -a "So Long Lovey Eyes" 01\ So\ Long\ Lovey\ Eyes.mp3 +++ Artist = So Long Lovey Eyes Tagging 01 So Long Lovey Eyes.mp3: attempting v1 and v2, tagged v1 and v2 And now this: Unfortunately, Before this revelation I changed a whole album and now it looks like this: But the filesystem says: id3info *.mp3 |grep TIT === TIT2 (Title/songname/content description): Trust Game === TIT2 (Title/songname/content description): Waterfall === TIT2 (Title/songname/content description): Dead Boy === TIT2 (Title/songname/content description): City Of Hate === TIT2 (Title/songname/content description): Mine === TIT2 (Title/songname/content description): Suck Magic === TIT2 (Title/songname/content description): ATF Theme === TIT2 (Title/songname/content description): Joey Let's Go === TIT2 (Title/songname/content description): Pink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37180 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Hi, the titles come from embedded metadata within the files, not the file names. Does that help you resolve this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgauthier 13 Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 If you're talking about the MP3 tags.. that's exactly what I'm talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgauthier 13 Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 I've shown them in the post. I dumped all the MP3 tags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgauthier 13 Posted December 8, 2023 Author Share Posted December 8, 2023 @Luke Do I need to add some clarity to the issue? The tags, while appearing in plain English on the files do not show up that way inside emby. Changing the tag, specifically the TALB and TIT2 tags, seem to trigger this behavior.

Luke 37180 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Try refreshing the metadata on the tracks and see if that helps. Can you also try running them through ffprobe and see what it reports as the track title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgauthier 13 Posted December 8, 2023 Author Share Posted December 8, 2023 So, the root of the issue is there: ffprobe version 5.0.0-emby_2022_05_27-u1 Copyright (c) 2007-2022 the FFmpeg developers and softworkz for Emby LLC built with gcc 8.3.0 (crosstool-NG 1.24.0) Input #0, mp3, from '01 Trust Game.mp3': Metadata: title : ▒吀爀甀猀琀 䜀愀洀攀 track : ▒⼀㤀 disc : 1/1 genre : ▒刀漀挀欀 album : Feeler artist : Toadies date : 2010 I confirmed with mutagen-inspect: -- 01 Trust Game.mp3 - MPEG 1 layer 3, 255455 bps (VBR, LAME 3.97.0, -V 0), 44100 Hz, 2 chn, 178.68 seconds (audio/mp3) APIC=cover front, (image/jpeg, 118146 bytes) PRIV=Google/OriginalClientId=b'jw2+T99RCLlJ3VU678482w' TALB=Feeler TCON=▒刀漀挀欀 TDRC=2010 TIT2=▒吀爀甀猀琀 䜀愀洀攀 TPE1=Toadies TPOS=1/1 TRCK=▒⼀㤀 The tool I'm used to using 'id3info' shows it correctly. id3info 01\ Trust\ Game.mp3 *** Tag information for 01 Trust Game.mp3 === TIT2 (Title/songname/content description): Trust Game === TRCK (Track number/Position in set): 1/9 === TPOS (Part of a set): 1/1 === TCON (Content type): Rock === APIC (Attached picture): ()[, 3]: image/jpeg, 118146 bytes === PRIV (Private frame): (unimplemented) === USLT (Unsynchronized lyric/text transcription): ()[XXX]: The spider lands Windows sees it correctly. Maybe it's an encoding issue or something. I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37180 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 @jgauthieryour audio file probably has more than one version of id3 tags embedded, and ffprobe is probably reading a different version than what you're writing. It's best to use tag writing software that will write to all possible versions, such as mp3tag. Does this help you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgauthier 13 Posted December 9, 2023 Author Share Posted December 9, 2023 @LukeThat is an interesting theory. I checked all the tags using another tool: id3v2 -l 01\ Trust\ Game.mp3 id3v1 tag info for 01 Trust Game.mp3: Title : Trust Game Artist: Toadies Album : Feeler Year: 2010, Genre: Unknown (255) Comment: Track: 1 id3v2 tag info for 01 Trust Game.mp3: TIT2 (Title/songname/content description): Trust Game TRCK (Track number/Position in set): 1/9 TPOS (Part of a set): 1/1 TCON (Content type): Rock (17) APIC (Attached picture): ()[, 3]: image/jpeg, 118146 bytes PRIV (Private frame): (unimplemented) TYER (Year): 2010 TPE1 (Lead performer(s)/Soloist(s)): Toadies TALB (Album/Movie/Show title): Feeler Lyrics were omitted. Seems that both V1 and V2 tags are human readable. I posted on stackoverflow. Will report back if it goes anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedfroop21 39 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Silly question but have you checked for extended tags? Alt-T in mp3tag should show them if present. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a large library - I heartily recommend the PerfectTunes suite from DBPoweramp. Among the things it does it adds right click to edit tags on files. Which means you can select all the files in an album and right click to edit and it will tell you which fields have different values. When I had some issues with album display for compilations it only took a couple minutes to edit the tags to correct it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgauthier 13 Posted December 11, 2023 Author Share Posted December 11, 2023 I played around with other software (mp3tag) and it shows the exact same thing as ffprobe. I checked for extended tags, etc. None of the clear text tags seemed to exist. Anyway, It's clearly a tagging issue and not an emby issue. Thanks for working through this with me everyone!
