Musicbrainz importing bad Discogs info

[jiggity 35]

I have reported this several times.

Can this behaviour be stopped

It results in non-stop error logging due to a garbage in garbage out situation

Submitted a delete request for obsolete data on MBZ.

But yes I do agree embedded metadata should supercede provider metadata for external links.

I give a single example, but I have to limit my library scans to a 2 hour limit or they go for like half the day because of all the error from Musicbrainz and Discogs plugins.

This is an ongoing issue

The catch 22 as Emby will get external ids from providers sites across the board.  Now one can say yes music is different if information is provided per embedded metadata.  Dev just has make one priority over the other.

But users should be correcting bad data at provider sites also.

Hard disagree

If the embedded tags are read on ingest, and the musicbrainz option to import discogs tags is only available when the user chooses to do the refresh metadata>scan for missing metadata then the garbage in garbage out loop is broken from the start and will only be started at the users request.

The problem is that when a first party source for data is available it should be the priority not a third party that offers "similar" data
