Music video naming/Metadata fetching

[Shepard 2]

Hi,

after unsuccessful attempts with several file structures/naming, and reading the entries on music videos in the forum I understand that this is the correct naming convention:
artist/songname/songname.ext

So I tried 
Taylor Swift/Shake It Off/Shake If Off.mp4
As the documention mentions to add tags, I used Tagscan to add tags for "Artist" and "Title" and enabled to prefer embedded titles for this library.

The result of a library scan looks like this, showing only the songtitle and no artist name or other metadata.

Looking at the Emby logfile, it fetches data from imvdb, and other metadata, though for the wrong title ("Delicate" instead of "Shake It Off")

So some info is received but for the wrong song and it's not displayed or added to the database.
Full log is attached.

What am I missing?

Thanks and best regards

Yes the dev needs to look at the secondary query of the Artist returned items as the first item returned is not the item you are looking for as it is number 21 of 25.  But this has come up before on this plugin.

@Shepardcan you try filling out the artist name in the metadata editor for the music video? Then try refreshing metadata on it. Does that help?

Please note that having the artist name in the embedded metadata of the file is also supported.

Hi Luke,

I filled out the artist field and did a refresh with 2 videos in the library. 
For one, the artist was removed (50 Cent) with the metadata refresh, even though I chose to update and not replace the metadata.
For the other one (Taylor Swift), the artist remained, but no further metadata was added.

Folder structure:
50 Cent/In Da Club/50 Cent - In Da Club.mkv
Taylor Swift/Shake It Off/Taylor Swift - Shake It Off.mp4

For the mp4 file, I had the metadata in the artist/title fields, maybe this led to the artist tag being kept on the update.

If I chose to replace all metadata, the artist Taylor Swift is also removed from the video detail page.

I also tried adding a movie.nfo to both folders, but that had no effect.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<musicvideo>
  <artist>Taylor Swift</artist>
  <title>Shake It Off</title>
  <year>2014</year>
  <sorttitle>Shake It Off</sorttitle>
  <uniqueid type="imvdb">225092244997</uniqueid>
  <imvdbid>225092244997</imvdbid>
</musicvideo>

The log shows it uses the correct imvdb IDs to fetch the results.

hi, we'll take a look at this.

There isn't much internet metadata for music videos - song title and year is about it.
