videopalace 26 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Hey, I have the following: since today I have received the update for windows Emby Server version 4.0.2.40. The problem: since the update, if I want to play a composite playlist with different artists (saved as a CD), I get 'VARIOUS ARTISTS' and not the actual artist what was before the update! In the metadata of the playlist, it also displays the artists in the "Genres" section. I would like to see this reversed, any possibility for this? None of these problems were present before the update. regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I have seen with Music Video's that Artists get added as Genres as well - this is in the last couple of beta's before .40 was released i thought it was just a glitch on my end so just fixed it manually as only 5 videos Looks like it might be more of a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37370 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Hi, sorry I don't quite understand. Can you show a screenshot to demonstrate the issue? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videopalace 26 Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 On PC, Emby correctly displays a playlist of 'different artists' (meaning: Artist / band / performer + song title). when using Chromecast or Emby for Android TV, 'artist / band / performer' changes to 'different artists'. And this is also displayed on the big screen (not as eg: 'Elton John' but as 'various artists'. Screenshots I can add later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37370 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Ok so this is more about the Android TV app then right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videopalace 26 Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 It is not only a problem via Emby for Android Tv, the same happens via: 1) Cast to Chromecast from Pc (windows 10). 2) Cast to Chromecast from Android phone (Oreo). To summarize the problem again: A self-compiled music list (as an example I take: The best of the 50s) with 'Various artists' as album performer (s) is correctly displayed on PC as title and performer: Example: Only You - The Drifters. When casting from PC or Android to Chromecast, this changes to 'Only You - Various artists' or 'Only You - (Artist will not be displayed)', the same also happens in Emby for Android Tv.

ebr 14986 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 That is actually an Album, not a playlist, correct? This changed with the new server, also correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
