almaster 2 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I'm using Emby with a monthly premiere subscription on my Synology NAS; server version 4.0.2.0; when scanning my music library using only TheAudioDb to retrieve metadata info, no data was discovered! Also, when identifying an artist (or an album) and use the TheAudioDb ID, no result was found. Did i forget to configure something? Has anyone found the same error or does the plugin not work? With MusicBrainz all works fine, but metadata found was poor and never localized. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Hi, unfortunately the audiodb provider is disabled on this platform temporarily due to a defect in the mono & .net core runtimes that will cause Emby Server to crash. It is something we are monitoring and will re-activate as soon as we can. In the meantime there is a last fm plugin. It is not quite as good as audiodb I don't think, but it is an option.

almaster 2 Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 Thanks for the clarification. I was afraid I had something wrong in the configuration. I hope the problem will be solved soon because theaudiodb is essential for a music library. I tried last.fm and it's a good alternative, but I've found that it only downloads metadata in English, ignoring language preferences. However I will wait for any developments, thanks.

Stan Guiseppe 6 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 First up - Awesome product!!!! Sorry to drag up on old thread - but is this still the case? i.e. no AudioDB for Synology? The reason I ask is that my Music on Emby Server on Synology works great, but does not download Overview for Artist or Album. Even if I manually enter the AudiodB ID into the Metadata window, it displays a blank screen or Search results. It does download images and backdrops for most of the artists (except some obscure/less popular ones), and I run my own Folder.jpg for the album covers, and I have found everything else works other than the Overview fields. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 No it's not still the case with newer versions. AudioDb works just fine now. Let's look at an example. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Guiseppe 6 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Hi Luke, cheers for the reply. Sorry about all of the screen shots. I've just added a folder of mp3s extracted from my itunes collection. All tags removed apart from the ones shown below, and no embedded images. The folder has Folder.jpg for album art. I performed a Library scan 'Scan Library Files' from the Dashboard for the Music library, and it grabs pics, backdrops, band logo. But no overview. The musicbrainz ID is populated by Emby, but not the AudioDB ID: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37049 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Did you check Audiodb to see what they have for this title? the search is done by musicbrainz id, so the mbz id they have needs to match the one you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Guiseppe 6 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 So AudioDB has a page for the artist and a page for the album, and the mbz ids (when you hover over the link at the bottom of the audiodb page) matches the artist id and the release-group id in the emby Metadata Manager for that album. I have attached a log file of a metadata refresh for this album. It shows that Audiodb returns no metadata. So I'm wondering, does emby query audiodb with the mbz id? Or is the mbz query run on the line above supposed to return an audiodb id in the returned xml (it doesn't) to look up on audiodb? I've also attached this xml. (I had to zip it so it would upload) If I can get my head around how it works I'm hoping to solve it!

Luke 37049 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Can you try this version of the plugin? You're going to have to install it via ssh. Or @@FrostByte AudioDb.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 The issue is that audiobd is actually silently disabled for platforms running on the mono runtime due to this issue here: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/69167-emby-server-4010-crashing-on-music-playback/&do=findComment&comment=692354 But perhaps now we'll be able to remove that limitation.

Stan Guiseppe 6 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Ok, interesting. Looking at your logs I am seeing a Info httpclient line requesting results form theaudiodb.com using the mbz id for the album - which is obviously correct as it is working Info HttpClient: HttpClientManager GET: https://www.theaudiodb.com/api/v1/json/49jhsf8248yfahka89724011/album-mb.php?i=416bb5e5-c7d1-3977-8fd7-7c9daf6c2be6 In my logs, I don't see those requests, the only lines referring to AudioDb are debug lines: Debug App: Running AudioDbAlbumProvider for /volume1/Music/Emby Test/Music/The Darkness/2019 - Easter is Cancelled Debug App: AudioDbAlbumProvider returned no metadata for /volume1/Music/Emby Test/Music/The Darkness/2019 - Easter is Cancelled I copied the audiodb.dll via WinSCP to the correct folder on the NAS (I replaced th existing one) and restarted emby server. I also did a full rescan of the library and refreshed metadata. I wonder if it is the beta version of emby server you are on? I'm on stable 4.4.2.0.
