dcol 165 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I setup a new Emby server and forgot where the setting was to use the file name instead of the imvdb naming, which is 90% inaccurate. Any idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36879 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 There isn't. You'd have to just remove the plugin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 which plugin? I don,t have IMVDB installed. I remember fixing this issue in the past but couldn,t find the post. As an example, Jethro Tull file, Locomotive Breath.mp4, is called ,Breath After Breath, in the library. I want to use the file names, not the title that comes from who knows where Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4328 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I almost guarantee the issue is tagging and structure of the music causing you grief. Wrong folder structure or having files above the album level will cause you grief. If you stick with /music/artist/album/songs and make sure there is no files above the SONGS level you will make life very easy on yourself by not allowing upstream files to influence your matching. Do that and tag all your songs properly and Emby will get your music correct. Putting a file at a higher folder level (that is wrong) will destroy you if not every song is tagged wrong because you're setting the "priority" with that higher file. In your case Breath after Breath by Duran Duran tell me you have something Duran Duran at an improper folder level ABOVE your Aqualung album.

dcol 165 Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 These are videos, not songs. The folder structue is \Artist\Video.mp4. The library type is 'Music Videos. There are no metadata downloaders selected. Where is the incorrect titles coming from? My music library is fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36879 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 We'd have to go over an example. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 I did that in an above post. see screenshot of the Jethro Tull page. Every artist has messed up titles. Where are they coming from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcol 165 Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 Here are the wrong - correct titles. If it wasn't listed, it was correct. I did try 'Replace all metadata' and 'Scan Library Files' Boys In The Wood - Songs from the Wood Breath After Breath - Locomotive Breath Call The Shots - Wondering Aloud Come Back To Me - Back to the Family Down In The Past - Living Past in the Past Eggshells - Aqualung Hymn - Hymn43 Life's A Cinch - Life's a Long Song Life's a Long Song - Minstrel In The Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbaggs 2 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 you sure those mp4 files don't have any tags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 Just looked at the tags and the bad titles are not present in the file metadata. FileName shows as actual file name. I used Metadata++ These titles are not coming from the file metadata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a restore from a backup on the old server. And this is only happening in this one library. I have 21 other libraries, but only one using 'Music Videos' content type.

Carlo 4328 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Are you sure you didn't mean you added d:\MusicVideos as the path for the VideoLibrary in it's Library setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 Yes, M:\MusicVideos is the path in the library settings. And M:\MusicVideos\Artist\file.mp4 is the structure I am using. Is that not the correct way of doing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4328 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Yes that's fine. Now make sure there are no files in M:\MusicVideos but only the artist folders. Inside each Artist folder should be nothing but the Video files which have been tagged. Do that and each should show up correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 That is how it is setup. My main question is, where are these titles coming from? It's as though an online db is being accessed when I did not set any up. I do NOT want the metadata coming from anywhere. I want Emby to use the file name as the title like it has in the past. I vaguely remember editing some file somewhere to make it happen last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4328 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Would you be thinking of "Prefer embedded titles over filenames" in library setup? You really want to tag these videos. Have you read this knowledge base article? https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001159113-music-naming Scroll down to the section on Music Videos.

dcol 165 Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 "Prefer embedded titles over filenames" is not select, I also tried it select, no change. Unless there is a way to batch tag, this is not reasonable since I have 4500 of them. Where did this tagging come from in the first place? What I think I will try next is to delete the library and recreate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4328 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Try adding a couple of dozen as a test vs all 4500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 Fixed it by deleting the library and all the nfo's then recreating and scanning the library. Now all the titles are correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36879 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 So the answer as to where the info came from that you didn't want, it was in your nfo files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 Apparently. Still not sure how the nfo's got those titles. Must have been when I did the initial scan after installing Emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcol 165 Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 Ok, that would explain it. All I really needed to do was delete the nfo's, then run 'replace metadata'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
