Really?  I asked to have one added over a year ago and still nothing.  Is there something special I need to do to get emby to correct the issue.  I just checked and all the tags from the 3 albums have the correct artist name of 20/20 yet emby insists its just 20.  And I have had emby scan the files multiple times.

You may need to remove it completely from the library, scan, then add it back, but 20/20 has been in there for a while now.

OK, I did not try that because the folders are not added as individuals but just one folder that contains all the sub folders of artists then albums etc.  Oh my, do I really have to remove everything and then add again?  I have a lot of custom pictures for artists that emby could not find.  I do not want to go through that again.

EDIT:  I was able to get it to work by just refreshing the metadata at the root directory for the artist.   A file scan did not work but this did without going to any trouble.

BTW, 20/20 is one of the pioneers and best Power Pop band ever....if anyone is in to old music of this type these guys should not be overlooked.  One of my favorites.

@Lukeanother for the list:  The 2/3rds

Out of curiosity, how do we know when whitelist changes have been put into effect?

They go into the next releases, so yes we'll get these added. Thanks.

Cool, I wasn't sure. Thanks man!

@LukeI get why you have a dictionary of exemptions (allow list, white list, or whatever you want to call it), but why not programmatically pull back a list of all artists with problematic characters using the Musicbrainz API instead?  Sorry if this has already been asked/answered before.

Do they have such a ready made list available?

Sadly no.

Would it be possible to setup a musicbrainz mirror/DB than can be directly queried, then periodically sync exceptional group names using the Musicbrainz plugin?

Hi, yes in theory that is doable.

Out of curiosity, since it's been a few months, is there an ETA on the next release, or is there a place here on the forums we can keep up with that?

Hi, no ETA, but the changes get added to the beta releases, just FYI.
