NFO Files Are Not Generating Alongside Media

[draddy 3]

Hi,

also got problems with nfo ...

Emby 4.7.10.0 Docker

my last added musik don't get an nfo file, checked permission, and its the same like old folders.

BUT: if i delete or rename an existing album.nfo to album.nfo.bak - it also don't recreate it.

next test: i changed something in the nfo like <genre>Rock</genre> to <genre>Punk Rock</genre> and the <title> of that cd ... no change in emby --> emby still say Rock and the "old" titel

in Lib Config i disable and reenable both NFO options (read from and save to) but nothing changed.

 

any more to test?

looks like it stoped working month back - last changed / created nfo is from 2021 06 09 (may that helps)

 

thx
draddy

@draddy

Hi, yes we don't do that. If you want it recreated, you'll need to refresh metadata.

Did you make note of this at the top of library options?

hi Luke,

yes, after the test delete of the nfo i start a metadata scan (in both ways, just for that album, and also in the lib config)

 

the nfo worked in past without problems, i never changed the settings until i  recognized the missing in some new album  yesterday.

 

i will now try to  remove one of the new folders, rescan lib, and readd the folder ...

[draddy 3]

no change ...

 

dosen't matter what i do, i get no .nfo files and changes in existing nfo files take no effect. ...

hmmm

watched for other media folders (Movies ...)

here it seem to work - last changes today - so only the Audio libs have that problem with nfo ...

 

deleted nfo of 25 years  Bonzai Records (2017) ... and started a metadata refrech from emby contex menu.

Is there a problem here?

[draddy 3]

no nfo metadata for Movies seems to work.

but none of my Music Libs will work

 

if i edit the metadata of a song, and delete some infos, the infos are back after a rescan metadata - but no nfo file ...

Have you followed the requirements listed here in the music folder structure option:

https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001159113

[draddy 3]

havent changed that - it worked in the past.

will that sorting be ok for the PERFECT setting?

[Luke 42078]

Looks like, but your entire library needs to match that or you may run into problems. In other words, don't lie about it just to try and get nfo files

[draddy 3]

for the album lib should the sorting always the same, spend much time in that in the past ... xD

and, yes, i'm not sure if i get risky only for the nfo files ...

 

did you change something around june 2021? after june i don't get an nfo (you see, its very important for me ...)
no, don't get me wrong, if you say we changed it and without option Perfect Setting i don't will get nfo in future, so i don't get nfo in future .. i just try to understand and fix if possible.

 

thx

The change is that you have to fill out this folder structure option. It was never required before because Emby required perfect folder structure in previous releases.

Now we support any folder structure for music, and doing that makes it hard to detect what is an album folder and what is an artist folder, so you need to tell us how your files are organized.

mhm ok

what about sampler ?

in General, for human, its logical, in Bonzai are some Sampler from Bonzai Musics, every Sampler is one folder and in that are the files ...

 

and what could be happn in worst case if the sorting isn't correct in some cases? (so i have folder like "artist name\radio\songs.mp3" that a struckture work of mine if i only have some songs of  an artist, but preffer them to have in the main lib. ..

You might get images or nfo files in places you don't expect. If you have existing images or nfo files they could end up being read into the wrong thing and causing problems.

[draddy 3]

ok, will sleep over it, maybe this days  i dobble check the strucktures  or generate a test lib ...

thx - will report if i get news
