cw-kid Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Hi I seem to have a problem artist in Kodi the name of the artists says "Missing" However it looks fine in the Emby web GUI. Artist is called "112" they are on TheaudioDB site here. I've tried refreshing their metadata in the Emby server and also refreshing them in Kodi via the Emby options context menu. But still their name / title is missing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitchshift Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I have the exact same issue with one of my artists - 2Pac. I'm running the latest version of Emby for Kodi & Emby server. Kodi is installed on my Raspberry Pi via OSMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cw-kid Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 I have 2Pac his name is showing OK. Just the one problem artist for me shown above in screen shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cw-kid Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Actually just checked it again and that artist "112" is now displaying its name OK. So seems to have fixed itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cw-kid Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Ignore my last comment. I was looking on the TV / HTPC and that is still connected to MYSQL. Will have to check the test PC with the Emby addon for Kodi. Its late here LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardameus Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I have the same issue with 30 seconds to mars. Tried refreshing, editing metadata tags, removing from library and re-adding. No luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitchshift Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I've had this issue for a while. Previously it was with an artist titled +44. I thought it was due to the + been in the title so I renamed them Plus44. After a new sync it showed 2Pac as missing instead. 2Pac is the third artist in the A-Z list. From the sound of the artists mentioned in this post (112 & 30 Seconds To Mars) they are high in the A-Z list so maybe it's an issue at the start of the music sync?

sualfred Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I've reported this issue weeks ago. It only happens to the artist with id "1". The MyMusic60.db looks correct, and it has the correct artist name stored in the "artist" table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sualfred Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) @ It seems that the ID field of the ARTIST table is causing it. All IDs with a higher value than 1 are working. I gave the faulty artist another ID and everything is correctly displayed. Maybe the ID "1" is reserved for other values in Krypton and the Emby addon has to start with "2"?

I'm talking about the database ID not the letter/number in the name or anything you'll see in the frontend of a skin. But I'm wrong.

yardameus Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) It is for me. I did notice when I was doing a library refresh that resulted in not too many artists (less than 100) being added to the library, that there was no issue. Once all the artists (over 400) were added, the issue re-appeared. I've tried checking the kodi forums a few times and I have not seen any issues reported there.
