tobedeleted 4 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 When I try to sync artists like "R.E.M." to my Android phone, every song gets in its own artist folder, named "R.E.M" (without dot), "R.E.M." (correct), "R.E.M. (1)" and so on. For every single song! Any remedy?? (Server 3.2.1.0 on Linux, Android client 2.8.67 (should be the most recent versions).

Luke 37009 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 hi @@Larx, so are you saying it never completes the sync but just keeps going again and again creating new folders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobedeleted 4 Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 At the time of the first post I had thought of a merely cosmetical problem. But as during the rest of today Emby tried syncing the songs of the dot-ending artists over and over again, creating dozens of numbered artist folders for them and never finishing, yes, that's exactly the problem!

tobedeleted 4 Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 On the Android device? Yes, I'm syncing to the external SD card, using the document provider. content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/tree/1234-5678%3A The 1234-5678 is the UID of the card, I don't know what %3A is (maybe '/'). I selected the root of the SD card, as the sync process itself always creates another subfolder with the name of the media server (which is useless for me, as I only use one server).

tobedeleted 4 Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Is there any progress with this issue? The problem is not only the multiple folders when artists end with ".", but also that the synchronisation always gets stuck. Songs of these artists simple seem to get synced over and over again.

tobedeleted 4 Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 Why not simply convert those problematic characters to an underscore or something like that? Lots of desktop software dealing with music files on different filesystems do that. Looks a bit awkward, but works. Frankly, this problem has not found a clean solution for months, so even something quick & dirty would be welcome ;-) . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
