Different album names in Music library

[bkh 7]

I think I found some strange behavior in the music library and tags reading algorithm.

The albums in the Café del Mar series have the titles following the pattern:

Café del Mar, volumen ... (number in Spanish)

The sort title, on the other hand, should be: Café del Mar nn

Reading the tags causes %album% to be equal to %albumsortorder% (flac).

I have tried to adjust this discrepancy in the metadata manager. To no avail, whether I lock the fields or not.

Does anyone have any ideas? What information do you need to verify this.

Ich glaube ich habe ein seltsames Verhalten in der Musikbibliothek und dem Lesealgorithmus der Tags gefunden.

Die Alben der Café del Mar-Reihe haben die Titel nach dem Muster:

Café del Mar, volumen ... (Zahl auf Spanisch)

Der Sortiertitel sollte hingegen sein: Café del Mar nn

Das Einlesen der Tags führt dazu, dass %album% gleich %albumsortorder% (flac) ist.

Ich habe versucht, diese Diskrepanz im Metadaten-Manager anzupassen. Ohne Erfolg, egal ob ich die Felder sperre oder nicht.

Hat jemand eine Idee? Welche Angaben braucht ihr um das zu verifizieren.

Hi, what do you mean by Reading the tags causes %album% to be equal to %albumsortorder% (flac).

[bkh 7]

It means

content in the tags of the album

%album%: Café del Mar, volumen seis
%albumsortorder%: Café del Mar 06

result in emby

Titel: Café del Mar 06

Sortierungstitel: Café del Mar 06

If i change title the sortitle also will be changed to volumen seis

thx

Dev will have to confirm but don't believe any embedded "*sortorder" are used to my knowledge.

As for SortTitle it is specific to Emby and is used for UI sorting.

So say The Beatles gets sorted to B instead of T

But if you want the values to be different you will need to LOCK then that way.

Thanks to Happy2Play for the reply,

i could do it now manually, in the right way.

But the first prob, as i described is that was not correct read by a new import, as seen in pic.

Maybe it was caused in the different tag names in mp3-, ape-, ..., flac-files for the same tag. https://docs.mp3tag.de/mapping/, https://docs.mp3tag.de/mapping-table/

I will try ...

 

Edit: Is there any mapping list for emby? e.g. albumsort (mp3) belongs to <sorttitle>?

@Vicpais there a newer spreadsheet out there?

Hi @Happy2Play, @bkh

The above is the latest list I have.  I believe that Happ2Play is correct, that emby doesn't read any of the embedded "sort" tags. The file system names/groups can impact album naming.

I would try changing the parent folder name to "Café del Mar". If that name of the series.  and then use Volume #  xxx  

For example instead of \Café del Mar\Volumen\XXXX

 \Café del Mar\

    -Volume 1,  Ibiza

    -Volume 2

    -etc

Correct, although it's possible for future updates.

THX to all of you

this would be great, also for artistsort, albumartistsort, maybe composersort ...
