Soupy1970 10 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I was just checking out Plex and noticed a feature in Music that I love (see screenshot). In Music when you open an Artist it shows popular songs. This comes in real handy when you don't know all the names of the songs or what albums they are on. Can we please add this to Emby? Thanks 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soupy1970 10 Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 If we can scrape for Artist bio too, that would be fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37064 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 The audiodb metadata provider already supports that. The lastfm provider may too, but I'm not sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heciruam 23 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I miss this feature as well. Although it would be cool if we could modify these songs or just use the songs I "hearted" from the artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37064 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Yea i guess that's a can of worms this will open up, people will want to be able to customize that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried lastFM and it added a very large bio, I would prefer something a bit shorter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37064 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Audiodb is included with the server, however, unless you're on windows it is currently disabled due to causing crashing. We are waiting on a fix from Microsoft in the .NET Core runtime before we can enable it on all platforms again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37064 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 You may have uninstalled it. You can reinstall it from the plugin catalog. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soupy1970 10 Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 I don't see it in the plugin catalog, that was the first placed I looked. This is everything that appears under Metedata, and I don't see it under any other section either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37064 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 What version of emby server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soupy1970 10 Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 What version of emby server? 3.5.3.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37064 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Actually in 3.5.3 it's not a plugin, it's built in, so you can just enable that metadata provider on your music library. If it's not showing up there then I may have disabled it for all platforms and you'll need to wait for 3.6. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckfield 92 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Hi, yes it's a good idea for the future. thanks ! As long as it is an optional feature. In Plex, I turned it off. Not everyone has a use for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginjaninja 533 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 As long as it is an optional feature. In Plex, I turned it off. Not everyone has a use for it.for me its useful to be able to show when i specifically want this type of information..not all the time.

wedgekc 12 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I would like this, too, I have already asked for it 8 months ago. The data should be relatively easy to pull from Last.fm (Like Airsonic/Subsonic does it) now that there is a plugin. As someone else said, it would also be nice to see my favorites from a given artist. Currently, there is no way to even filter for that. I don't think it would open a can of worms, especially if we could easily create meaningful playlists/queues from the filter. Then you can quickly queue up whatever you want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreakon13 132 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I'd definitely like something like this. The beauty of it is that it'd give me a kind of already curated playlist of (subjectively) their best songs for each artist that didn't involve shuffling through a lot of deep cuts. And if I add music for a new artist that I haven't really heard too much before, it's a built in starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowKindjal 19 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Question, Would there be any way to get Emby to pull community rating settings for songs? If you open an artist's page in Emby and click "See All" under the Songs section it gives you a list of songs that can be sorted by the Community Rating. If there's a way to have Emby pull that rating then that could suffice as a temporary measure for this potential feature. Is this something that could be implemented on a shorter timetable than the entire feature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
