nospotify 184 Posted April 19, 2023 Posted April 19, 2023 Two apparent problems with Emby's retrieval of Music library metadata: 1. Some artist descriptions have markdown codes embedded instead of actual names. Example, for Kronos Quartet: "US ensemble from San Francisco. The current line-up of the Kronos Quartet is: [a295244] (violin), [a454179] (violin), [a454184] (viola), and [a3579023] (cello). Former members include [a342032] (cello), [a434653] (cello), and [a517949] (cello)." See 1st screen shot below. Here's the library setting for Artist Metadata Downloaders (in order): MusicBrainz TheAudioDB Discogs 2. Not sure if this is related, but "Appears On" for Kronos Quartet does not include all albums on which they perform, even though all the proper External IDs are listed for the album, for example https://www.discogs.com/release/410452-Steve-Reich-Works-1965-1995. See 2nd screen shot below. Any help possible on these two apparent glitches?
Luke 42080 Posted April 19, 2023 Posted April 19, 2023 Hi, yea that's coming from Discogs I believe. The Discogs plugin will need to be updated to strip that information. Quote Appears On This is a view of what's in your library, not what's on the internet. So for example, when I click on Justin Timberlake I see he appears on the Trolls soundtrack because he's listed as an artist on one of the tracks, but he's not the album artist. So that's what the Appears On section shows. 1
nospotify 184 Posted April 19, 2023 Author Posted April 19, 2023 Who maintains that plugin, Emby or an outsider?
Luke 42080 Posted April 19, 2023 Posted April 19, 2023 We do, so it's something that will need to be looked at. 1
nospotify 184 Posted April 19, 2023 Author Posted April 19, 2023 It's a pretty visible glitch - I hope y'all can get to it quickly. 1
