Music ratings from Tag ID

[longfors 0]

Hello,

I think this topic allready exist, but I cannot find any definitively answer.

I really would like to have the possibility to implement all my ratings from my music files into the Emby library.

All my ratings are embedded in the music file tags.

So a nice feature where you can enable the reading of ratings could be so very very nice and creditable.

And to make it complete, a feature where you also can write the ratings into the file when you rates the music in the Emby app.

 

Is this topic on the Roadmap to be implemented?

 

..Or is there a workarround to do this in another way?

 

Kind Regards and keep up the good work.

Hi, how are they embedded?

[Happy2Play 8271]

I guess the question would be what embedded tag is used as it would appear with a google search it really could be anything as every program looks like it does its own thing.  

Now from Emby standpoint where would you see this as there is no way to see this track information, you can see a value at Album level but not track/song.

As you can see I added "rating" tag via mp3tag but Emby does not read it, So what is the most common tag if there is one?

You could try Rating WMP and Rating MM as well.

Sorry for wasting your time if this doesn't do anything but at least it was a quick waste of time.

@Luke any chance you could look through the code and PM me a list of tags the Emby Server reads from music files so I could document them in the knowledge base?

This would be very good information to have and would take some of the guesswork out of trying to import music libs with existing tags that cause conflicts.

Sorry I should not have used the word "embedded" :-)

I simply just mean the ID tag that is on the, in this case, mp3 file.

I have made the tags in MediaMonkey.

The FileExplorer in Windows can see this 5 star tag, so I guess, it should be simple to let Emby see this to and use it?

@cayars: Great idea!

@Luke: I would like to support the idea of cayars. It would be of great help to understand better which metadata are handled in which way by Emby Server. As you may remember I started a thread on IDtags some weeks ago (

) - cayars effort to document the way Emby handles metadata might be helpful not only for ratings but also other metadata like - in my case - album artist (multiple entries).

 

Have a nice weekend.

It's certainly possible for the future. There's a lot to think about though, such as mapping to our favorite rating as well as what user to apply it to given that Emby is a multi-user system.
