Hi,

 

What's the best way for music library with audio and video?

The structure of my collection is :

Music/Arstist Name/Year - Release Name/ => if audio : track - song name.ext

                                                                  => if video : video_file.ext (OR Video_TS Dir for DVD)

 

 

I tried different contents (Music, Music Video, Multiple contents) but I can't access 'Artist' and 'Album' metadata for video. Interface always shows'Title' like for movies.

 

I'm using Emby 4.2.1.0 on NAS Synology.

 

Thnaks for your help :)

Hi,

 

Thanks for your answer.

Do you mean there's no way to access 'Arstist" and 'Album' metadata for music video files?

It seams it was possible in older version.

 

Thanks.

Yes that is possible, but you need to configure those values in the metadata editor for music videos.

How can I do this?

I didn't find any options to change display.

Have you explored the editing features for your music videos? 3 dot menu -> Edit.

 Yes I did. Only have access to Movies metadata (Titlle etc...)

If you set it up as a music video library there will be fields to enter the artist.

I still set up as music video library but there's no filds Artist, Album.

Only Title, Date and the other fields for movies.

 

Could another media center, like Synology Video Station,  disrupt the operation of Emby?

Interesting, something is definitely wrong with that MV library.  I had no issue adding your exact structure.

What other libraries have you added to emby?

 

Anim => type of Movies

Movies > type of Movies

Docs => type of TV

TV shows => type of TV

Shows > type of TV

Music Video=> type of Music Video => same source as Music

Music => type of Content mixt => same source as Music Video => audio and video files

For testing, I created a new Music Video library, with only one video file, in a new directory not referenced by others libraries.

It works : I can access to Artist and Album fields.

You can't use the same folder in multiple libraries with different content types.

So, to sum up :

Today, when creating a library type of Content Mixt, by default Emby analyzes audio files as music audio and video files as Movie.

We obtain the same result whith library type of Music.

 

When the library references the server's Music directory, it could be logical Emby analyses the videos as Music Video by default (in my opinion :) ).

Hello,

 

What I try to do is to manage my music server (a Synology with audio flac et video files with the same root - see first post).

In tried Mixed content but music video files are scanned by Emby like Movies (no Artist / Album metadata).

So I created 2 Emby libraries : one for the audio (type Music) and a second for videos (type Music video), but in this last, videos are scanned like Movies, not like Music video (no Artist and Album metadata).

You have two libraries using the same folder with different content types? That's not really supported. What folders did you add to each library?

volume1/music is added to the music and video music libraries.

Structure is :

Music/Arstist Name/Year - Release Name/ flac files or video files (mkv, ts, vob...)

Right, please just be aware that adding the same folder to different libraries is not fully supported, so you might run into some things that won't work properly.
