scott.freiman 2 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I have ripped some 5.1 audio albums to create MKV files. The files play back correctly. However, I see no way to use Identify to find the album. Even though I have the AudioDB plug-in, only MovieDB, IMDB, etc, are searched. That means that when I am searching for Chicago II (the album by Chicago), it matches to a wresting movie NXT Takeover: Chicago II! Is there a way to tell Emby to search for audio matches and not movie matches? If not, how can I manually update the metadata for audio and not a movie?

Luke 36886 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Hi, why do you feel that Imdb is searched? What is the content type of the library? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott.freiman 2 Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 The content type is mixed, although the same thing happened when I created another library with content type music. It is assuming the MKV file is video and looking at IMDB and MovieDB. The question is whether I can make Emby match it to music instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daedalus 430 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 just as a throw in, the "correct" extension for audio only matroska files is *.mka, even if internally they are absolut identical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott.freiman 2 Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) Thanks @@daedalus. Unfortunately, changing the extension to mkay won't allow Emby to play the file. Edited April 17, 2020 by scott.freiman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daedalus 430 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) not atm, mixed content librarys don't have audio providers, see your library settings why audio is not "supported" in mixed content librarys only the devs can answer Edited April 17, 2020 by daedalus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36886 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 why audio is not "supported" in mixed content librarys only the devs can answer It's possible, but it's just not something that has ever been looked at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThierryD 2 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 It's possible, but it's just not something that has ever been looked at. would be appreciate Reading the posts, it seems we are a few users which have a music library mixing audio and video files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
