Wrong Artist display / Discnumberring


Georg.E

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

1. I finally reorganized my Music Library but I see errors in displaying the Artist "B.B. King".

Please find screenshots attached. It is always shown as "B.B", nothing more. I did not see other examples until now...

 

Additionally, I am wonderring, how the Discnumbers are parsed / displayed:

- Sometimes, it could be, that a disc number has format like:

01/02, 1, 1/2, 1 - [Name of the Disc (String)]

Is it possible to display the name? Or is there another tagfield for this?

- Why is "Disc 1" never shown in the album page if there are multiple discs?

 

BR,

Georg

01/02, 1, 1/2

 

These are supported. Disc names are currently not supported, but it's possible for the future. Thanks.

It's something we can look into. Thanks.

Hi Luke,

 

sorry for replying so late.

Tags are Standard - after teh "Dot" at the End, there is an "&". Or What do you mean? Interesting thing is, that if I go into the the folder on the Emby-Site, it is displayed correctly. Think this is a Display Issue in the Folders View. there is displayed only 2 times "B.B", nothing more.

 

Regards,

Georg

Hi,

 

any news about my questions? Is the problem for the last the '#' within the name of the file? If yes, why could that not be fixed?

Naming is like you suggested in the articles.

Now I converted all WAV-Files into FLACs and the most problems are gone.

But as I can see, emby cuts the folder Names with a ".".

Example: B.B. King --> B.B

... and new in Explorer:

In emby it is displayed as: Peter I:

Maybe this could be fixed. I fixed it manually by changing it.

interesting not seen this before

i have R.E.M. (folder name has to be R.E.M in windows) and that is recognised fine by emby

but emby will use the mbz tags if they exist first

So..

can you show a screenshot of the mp3tag extended tags screen (or similar from another program) for a bb king or Tschaikowsky song

as i suspect it might be tag related

Or if you do not have tags then the file will be looked up by name of folder (AA) and song - which might be that the url gets mangled if it has "unusual" characters or possible mbz chokes at the other end etc

I do not see any suspicious Tags ...

And the folder does not contain any special chars:

\\...\Multimedia\Musik\Klassik\Peter I. Tschaikowsky

Now I have change the library path and rescanned everything - it went back, renaming has to be done again.

Screenshot from Emby of teh folder of :

Then navigating to "[Kein Album" (No album):

Metatag-Editor (folder):

1 File selected:

... and this is what Windows shows:

use Mp3Tag to view all your metadata - as that usually the problem

once you have an a song selected press ALT+T and it will bring up the extended tag dialog - take a screenshot and post here

It's the same with this, too (see Metadata-Window below... ) but here's another one:

? I can do that. But this is not really logical. I have many Files like that and I notice this error only with Artists containing 2 dots, "B.B. King" --> "B.B" (like described before).

Its very logical - as thats how Albums are assigned to Artists - with AA tags - as with most if not all music players

the Artist/Atrists tags are for "additional" artists who appear alongside the AlbumArtist on  specific songs

you can do things outside what emby expects with tags and/or folder structure - but expect oddities like above - or follow the wiki/knowledge base articles and/or use picard to add correct tags to your music and problems disappear
