and this also

only works on movies

 

Regarding the last post: it was working for music, but the browser had a terrible lag. Even after restarting after every change and clearing the Emby cache folder, the update only finally appeared when I added and then removed a cover image.

Even after realizing it works, small changes don't update automatically like they do for movies. I have to delete the covers, restart, refresh (F5), and maybe then something shows up.

Anyway, I used Edge; since there was no pre-existing cache there, I was able to see the plugin working.

 

But... Of all these options, only two appear.

 

Tag based still nothing on music, but works on movies

The tag and filename-based icons should work.. Will look into it.

For normal icons, you need to supply your own icons for now as i haven't made any yet.

I'll go into detail so you can see if I'm doing anything wrong:

 

My file for test.

 

Preview. Tag is there.

 

setting

Tag the album

Clear cach, refresh...

 

Clear metadata

 

Delete cache folder on emby.

Restart Server.

 

Only this 2 things

 

If I clear the cache directly in the browser (Chrome), I can see the test results faster. Why does this matter? Any changes to movies and series show up instantly. So, it seems like music album art behaves differently, and I suspect I know why: movie and series covers are physically stored in a folder, whereas *my* album art is embedded within the .FLAC file itself—added using Mp3tag. That might change how the whole caching process works.

That’s just my hunch.

I'll make a few and test them. They should show up...

@sergiovassariCheck if the tag is still there on the music number you want to have a tag on.
Emby can not add tags to numbers while you are listening to them for some reason.

If I understood you correctly, yes, the tag gets saved. I’ve gone back and forth, and it’s always there. In fact, I’ve used this tag on other albums as well.

I wasn't listening to the song or the album at the time; everything was turned off.

The tag definitely gets saved. In fact, that same tag works for movies and series, but not on music.

@sergiovassariPlease send me an Emby log file and if possible the embyIcons.xml located in the plugin/configurations folder.

I'll simplify the test: I applied 4 tags to just one album.

That Album

 

The tags don't show up, no matter what I do. If I repeat the process for a movie, the tags appear like magic.

Regarding the logs, I don't know where the Emby one is located. Please check if this is it.

embyserver.txtembyicons.xml

 

And there are these other two here...
