ryancey 23 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I'd like to see info about a music file like I can with a movie file (see screenshot) but I can't find how. When I click a track in a music library it just plays and there is nothing in the contextual menu of the track that give this kind of informations. Am I missing something?

ebr 14902 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 No, you are not missing anything. From a user-interface standpoint, there is no metadata to see for an individual audio file so we don't display a detail page for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way I can see the path of an audio file then? The use case is that I have duplicate albums and want to delete one in particular, but they look the same in the interface. Also, wouldn't the codec / bitrate / channels be interesting to view for audio files ? Edited June 10, 2019 by ryancey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, use the Metadata Manager with the web app. Also, wouldn't the codec / bitrate / channels be interesting to view for audio files ? Maybe within an admin interface but not an end-user facing one. People just want the music to play . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryancey 23 Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 Actually the page I was looking for already exists. When a song is in search results, clicking on the title loads this URL: /index.html#!/itemdetails.html?id=45133&serverId=3ad46a13a6094db1a9b1c9b9c5f87be5 It is only a matter of showing the link somewhere in album view, maybe in the song contextual menu ? Or a little "informations" icon like TV shows episodes (in season view)? As for People just want the music to play ... couldn't we say this also for movies and such? I don't see your point here. Why would music metadata be less important than other media types? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe so because movies and videos usually have a lot of metadata associated with them whereas individual songs usually don't have any.

ryancey 23 Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 I would consider that a bug in the web app. While you were answering I also found that this page can be accessed through music dynamic lists like "Frequently played", "Recently played", "Favourite songs". Imho this is very useful to music nerds who have several formats and bitrates (MP3 320 / Flac / WAV) or just want to know what is the path of a song, you should promote it rather than hiding it as it already exists. Emby does a great job as a music player for large collections, and since you support music libraries this should be a quick-win feature. That said, I understand the UI space is expensive (and complex with all those clients) and this isn't a killer feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36999 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 That's not when you click on the poster, only on the title text. I think it's OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamElita 0 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 i would just say start using dreamweaver...might take a little while but actaully once you start using it it wont be hard at all. and if you really want to do anything then start looking at the html while your making it, youll be suprised at how much you learn.
