Album Not Being Created

Recommended Posts

I have Emby v4.5.4.0 installed on my QNAP server (which is running Linux). This is a fresh install as of about 3 days ago.

The 1st is a screenshot showing that the album Eden doesn't exist, yet the 2nd screenshot shows that the album is referenced with regard to at least one song (actually others as well).

It seems that Emby is missing creating, at least, some albums.

Hello MikeB88,

Please wait for someone from staff support or our members to reply to you.

Thank you.

Hi, in 4.5.4, albums are based on having album folders in your music library, not the embedded album tag, although it looks like you have that based on the file path to the song. So that's strange.  This has been reworked in the upcoming 4.6 release to be fully tag driven, so that is coming:

Regarding what you have now in 4.5 - best guess is the album is actually there, but listed under the wrong name due to mis-matched internet metadata.

If you play the song, you'll see the now playing bar come up at the bottom. What does that show for the artist and album name ? You can then click on those names.

After clicking on Sarah Brightman notice that it shows the album name:

But that is coming from the metadata. I guess I will have to wait until 4.6 when hopefully this will be fixed.

Also note that Sarah Brightman is listed in this album, but there are no songs listed below containing her name. There used to be one, but I deleted it. But it seems that Emby is not cleaning up as well as it should.
