Some Audio Books not detected by Emby

[Eric2021 0]

Hi, 

I added a couple of audio books to Emby. Some are automatically detected and with all meta info filled out, and showed up in the books section. However, some did not show up. I searched the missing ones on TheAudioDB and MusicBranz, they are not listed there. I guess that's the reason why Emby cannot add them as audio books? 

So I tried  to fill it the meta info manually, but could not get them show up in the Books section, not can I get them to display as the other audobooks playlists. 

p.s. the books I tried to add is a children's book series, Wings of Fire. The imported files show up like this

Thanks in advance

Hi, are the audio files tagged with album and albumartist values? That's what you'll need to get them to show up in the books section. It doesn't matter if they're listed on musicbrainz, audiodb, or none at all.

Hi, Thank you for the reply. I figured out that somehow it automatically pulled both the author and the audiobook artists into the artist field, which caused the whole thing to fail as an album. After I made sure only the author's name is in the "artist" field. It worked. 

 

Thanks again
