Ogg Vorbis Files Display Songs Twice in an Album

[masmith516 4]

Hi, I'm noticing that Ogg Vorbis files are display songs twice as if they are individual songs in an album.  I've checked the album folder and none of the songs were duplicates.  And I've checked the metadata and both songs are pointing to the same file.

I'm thinking it has something to do with the id3 tags being saved.

Any help to resolve this issue would be great.

Thanks.

Hi, do you have those same songs in another format, somewhere else?

[masmith516 4]

I don't, but I've done some research on the files and other albums by the same artist.  I found that their entire library (all the songs in all albums) are duplicated.  Meaning that it's not exclusive to ogg vorbis files.  I have other albums by that artist (De La Soul) and found that songs in mp3 format were also duplicated. Could it be something with the Emby database?

Added images.

If you have more than one copy of the same song then that is just what Emby does right now, but this is on our list for review for future updates. Thanks.

I do not have more than one copy of the same song.  What I'm saying is that in Emby... every song for that artist (De La Soul) is duplicated in each album.

Don’t you have two screenshots of the same songs but just different file format?

[masmith516 4]

Oh.. I understand the confusion now.  Those are 2 different albums.  First album is "Bionix" in ogg vorbis format.  The second album is "Buhloone Mind State" in mp3 format.  Two different albums in different folders under the same artist.  I have more albums by this Artist in Emby and every album has duplicate songs.

OK. How many Emby libraries have you added, and what folder paths are added to each one?

[masmith516 4]

I've added 3.  The attached image shows all my libraries.

OK. What you could try is to remove the music library, run a scan of all libraries to clean out the database, and then add it back.
