Music, Lyrics, Music Videos, Karaoke, Naming convention & Apple TV

[DarkStar1977 88]

Hi Emby Team,

I would like to request some things for the Music Libraries and the Music Videos Libraries.

1st.- Music Videos and Music (Related to the same artist as are shown in the same interface when this is properly identified)

Music Videos are impossible to be sorted by Year, the same as are done in Albums from an artist, in fact I can find the criteria emby is using for sorting music videos:

A

As you can see in the above screenshot, videos and artist are linked and Albums are sorted presenting first the newest one and last the oldest one.

This does not apply to the music videos that are completely random sorted.

Can those please be sorted equal to Albums by Year/ release date?

And before you ask, this happens too even when there are only Music Videos and no Albums, even the entire Music Video Library is sorted by Release date (newer to older):

You can only saw those sorted by year (or criteria chosen) by clicking on "Music Videos", and going to the Artist Music videos, then those are presented in the right order:

2nd - Music Videos on Apple TV:

As you can see there's no additional info than the title presented on the Apple TV interface, can at least have the year ?

3rd.- Lyrics (Karaoke?)

As you can see the Browser interface presents the option to show the lyrics for a song:

But in the Apple TV interface this option has gone (If I remember correctly it was in tha past), as you can see in the below screenshot....

anyway can be this implemented on the Apple TV Client to match the web client?

Additionally, will emby support karaoke subtitles if those are embedded into the file with timetags ? Plex supports those.

4th.- Naming Convention for Music Videos and Videos linked to songs/album:

According to https://emby.media/support/articles/Music-Naming.html#:~:text=To identify the artists and,links to the music videos. this needs to be done manually per each video, something that is a completely waste of time.

Can I suggest to use similar  naming convention that we use in TV Shows ?

ARTIST>YEAR ALBUM>SONG

At least this information will be completed automatically without any need to edit metadata on the file as well to not have to match https://imvdb.com/ that instead of album release date uses the music video release date, this makes usually to get the single release date instead of the album release date.

Anyway, no matter how the information is matched, I would like to request the ability to play a music video from the album, same way as Plex does by linking the song to the music video and presenting it with a clickable video icon:

Will look fantastic on the right side of the Heart icon:

Or at least being able to present the music videos related to an album at the bottom of the album.

5th- Bonus : Artists and Actors and Book Authors.

Any possibility to link a Music Artist with an Actor Profile and book Authors so you can see all related to one person in a single place ?

Additionally: Any possibility to use the same type of image for "people" everywhere (square or round - better square) ?

Music:

Movies/TV Shows:

Books Authors:

Thanks in advance for considering this changes.

Hi, there is a lot to process here. Can you try to separate individual items into their own topics? Thanks !

You want me to split those in 5 different topics ?

I see them all related (more or less) ....

Done

I've created 4 additional topics as requested.

I will leave this one for the 1st as you already answered and are aware.

Cheers
