cw-kid 192 Posted February 12, 2017 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
Pitchshift 13 Posted February 25, 2017 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.
cw-kid 192 Posted February 25, 2017 Author Posted February 25, 2017 I have 2Pac his name is showing OK. Just the one problem artist for me shown above in screen shots.
cw-kid 192 Posted February 25, 2017 Author 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.
cw-kid 192 Posted February 25, 2017 Author 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.
yardameus 220 Posted February 26, 2017 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.
Pitchshift 13 Posted February 26, 2017 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 677 Posted February 26, 2017 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.
sualfred 677 Posted February 26, 2017 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. It's not caused by the ID and I still see no issue in MyMusic60.db Edited February 28, 2017 by sualfred 1

I also do not have the time to work on the project, but I'll try to see if I can find anything when I have a moment to spare.

yardameus 220 Posted April 16, 2017 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. Edited April 16, 2017 by yardameus
Angelblue05 4131 Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) It's not a Kodi issue. It's for sure Emby for Kodi. But I just don't have the time to fix it. :/ Edited April 17, 2017 by Angelblue05 1
