nobanzai 0 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) Hi, I have origanized my music in a very strict manner, i.e. the structure is always: <album interpret>\<year>-<album>\{cd[n]\}<##>-<title>.<ext> emby-server reads nearly all of the folders correctly, but for a few folders it combines all albums into one in the library view. In the folders view these folders are missing completely. What can be the reason for this behaviour? I don't see anything special in these folders or their properties or permissions. The library is of type music. TIA. Bye. Michael. Edited July 19, 2018 by nobanzai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37022 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 hi, chances are there is a song at a higher level somewhere and therefore it thinks everything underneath is a single album. or, the album folders closely match multi-disc naming and it thinks they're multiple discs of an album. can we please go over an example? thanks.

The tags in all songs and the folder/file names match for all files and are complete. I use other media servers like mediatomb, where I don't have the problem. I wanted to upload screenshots, but for that a plugin was needed, I'd never install. Is pastebin an option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37022 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Sure, pastebin is fine. You don't need to install anything in order to upload directly into the community though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhm, that would be the easiest way. How would I do that? Last time I tried, it asked me to install some Adobe product, i.e. Flash.

nobanzai 0 Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 pastebin is fine though. Didn't succeed with pastebin, so I used imgpaste.net: http://www.imgpaste.net/image/ifGks http://www.imgpaste.net/image/ifioq The first image shows two albums from Tori Amos, whilst there should be 18. The second one shows, that all songs from that 18 albums are listed under the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37022 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 This is happening because the artist folder has songs in it, therefore the server treat the whole thing as an album. This is what we call a mish-mash, and we plan to improve our support for this in the future. You can track this work item by following this: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/issues/3207 Thanks.
