After rebuilding the Emby music library, the manually edited and saved artist.nfo files were not restored and were directly overwritten

Without logs, its guess work.

Permissions ?

Drive not active ?

Bad internet etc......

there should not be any internet problem for I edit all the information of artists mannually, the data from Metadata Downloaders is not detailed.

The first screenshot shows my attempt to manually edit an artist's information. The second screenshot demonstrates the result after I created a brand-new Emby server, set up a music library, and scanned the media library. Although Emby has read permissions for the artist.nfo files, it did not read the content during the library rebuild process. Instead, it directly overwrote and cleared my manually edited artist.nfo files.

and The log files contain the complete logs from the creation of the new Emby server and scanning of the music library.

Hi @GhostZetacurrently artist nfo files are only written to, not read. We will be re-enabling this in a future update. I have been posting test builds of it enabled here in order to collect feedback, so maybe you can help:
