Error editing album metadata

[fraenhawk 58]

The ongoing saga of Media Browser's (Emby's) ID3 scraping and manual management of the data continues. I had already resigned myself to having to manually fix album info in the metadata manager since the data clearly contained and picked up from the individual songs is not always properly being applied to the album level. But as of the current build (3.0.5569.0 - running on beta releases) I now get an error when pressing save at the album or song level. "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: source" You don't even have to edit any data, I just pick one and click Save and get the message.

 

I looked through the logs and found the section that matches each time I click Save:

I then looked up a bit in the logs and found something else logged relating to the MoveNext that I'm not sure is related (I removed my personal key from the end of the url for the sake of posting):

Is that reference to "newmusic" still valid with fanart.tv?

Oh, and wanted to mention, changes are saving just fine though. Just giving the error every time instead of saying "Item Saved."

Hi,

 

+!. I can confirm similar behavior.

[jamvids 37]

Hi, if you want music metadata to be spot on, use music brains picard, then re scan, and add album art and clean up using mp3 tag. I am just re visiting my collection as I didn't use the justfm plugin on picard. Get the Base metadata right and emby picks it up. Works for me anyway.

[fraenhawk 58]

Please read the topic that I linked to and respond there. I've redone my music with picard and have documented all sorts of scenarios where MB is not reading the metadata correctly at the album level even when the songs are correct. Remember, Picard only writes ID3s into the songs, it's up to Emby to then figure out how to apply those to the albums.

 

But that has nothing to do with this thread which is about the error on Save.
