letterman 33 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) Emby: Version 4.0.1.0 QNAP: TS-253 A I recognised something strange: During Import music and/or library scan, emby changes some tags saved in mp3/Flac-files without notice. e.g %Artist% or %albumartist%-field: Tag in Mp3 -> Tag in Emby [Mix] -> DJ Mix [VA] -> Various -va- -> [VA] -VA_ -> [VA] [V.A] -> V.A. [V_A] -> V.A. [DIV] -> div. [dj] -> Dj A dj -> DJ BUT: [V.A.] -> [V.A.] (no change) VA -> VA (no change) e.g. %genre%-field: Pop -> [Pop (yes, written this way in emby) Is there a reason for these changings? Is there a table/sheet/template to understand the changes emby will do? Or is it just a bug? This did not happen in previous versions 3.x %year%-field: If this tag is emty, emby fills it with a date (random?) date like 2348 or 3563 To get a blank %year% in emby, the workaround is to fill in date like "-" or "NN" in mp3tag editor. Is this a bug, too? Edited February 3, 2019 by letterman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37026 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Hi, we use ffprobe. Try running your file against ffprobe to see what it produces. Make sure mp3tag is writing to all versions of id3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letterman 33 Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) I checked some files with ffprobe. Emby also adds tages from %albumartist% & %Album_artist% This is confusing for me, because this tag ist not shown in Mp3Tag standard view. I can handle it. But for sure emby shows the content wrong of %albumartist% and %Album_artist% respectivly: "[VA]" is "Исполнитель дорожки" [Mix] -> DJ Mix [VA] -> Various -va- -> [VA] -VA_ -> [VA] [V.A] -> V.A. [V_A] -> V.A. [DIV] -> div. [dj] -> Dj A dj -> DJ And %genre%-field: Pop -> [Pop (yes, written this way in emby) is displayed wrong. Try it and you will see. Screenshot attached. album.info content: <genre>Pop</genre> <albumartist>[VA]</albumartist> Can you solve this problem?

letterman 33 Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 Hi Luke, can you reproduce my problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37026 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 No, try making sure mp3tag is writing to all available id3 versions. Please also attach a sample file. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letterman 33 Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Here is an example with [VA]-problem in %album_artist%-Tag. FFprobe result: Metadata: album : Album_Here artist : Artist_Here album_artist : [VA] comment : [VA] genre : Gerne_Here title : Name_Here track : 01 date : 2004 ID3v2.4 UTF-8 & ID3v1-Tag written with Mp3tag Editor Album Artist Result in Emby: Исполнитель дорожки (which means translated "Artist track") Screenshot attached. mp3 track attached. Can you now reproduce the bug? In 3.x emby versions this bug did not appear. 1.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37026 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Seems to work fine here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letterman 33 Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) It is very strange. one time it worked - than and now there is now way to make it work again. I created a new catalog & same problem accoured. It deleted all songs, refresed database, and added again. no change. always russion when I use [VA]. android app & emby theatre displays wrong, too. changed language to english - same problem. I turned off all Album/Metadata etc. fetchers/extractors - same problem. Logfile is fine. It must be a bug somewhere during import, because it worked fine before update... Where can I search?

letterman 33 Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) @@letterman how exactly did you do this? Sorry, @@Luke, I meant: "I deleted all songs, refresed database, and added again. no change." It is a very strange problem, but for sure it is a bug somewhere. It some cases also the year is imported wrong, form e.g. 2012 to 309 and sometimes one track does not appear in the right order, so 1,2,3,4,missing, 6,7,8. The missing song no. 5 appears as the first one without a track number in the list I mentioned all problems on my first message here in this threat. Trust me, all tags are totally fine. There IS A IMPORT BUG on this Qnap System version for sure. I don't know where to search anymore... Edited February 12, 2019 by letterman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37026 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 This will be improved with the upcoming Emby Server 4.1. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
