zeilercd 2 Posted June 29, 2025 Posted June 29, 2025 Hello once again. Your forum has been super helpful. I've searched the threads and was able to get a daily tv show to show me the year, and title by episode so I could get to the topic I wanted to rewatch with ease. But I have a similar issue with an audio book file (james earl jones reading new testament) that was a 17hr file... I've gotten it split to chapters (260 files!) and have them named appropriately, i THOUGHT. But Emby is not doing what i hoped and was looking for some help?? That way i can listen to a specific chapter BY NAME, not have to refer to a list to find what "chapter number" it is... https://emby.media/support/articles/Audio-Book-Naming.html Do i need to change the naming to having sub folder for each "book"name? but how to keep the 260 "in order" and show book name (as ch is what I was hoping)... EMBY shows ch1-ch260 - i wanted it to show "james earl jones reads the bible - kjv - Matthew ch1" as file names in 2nd ss below File names example SS: do i need to perhaps completely rename them as if they were TV episodes instead of audio files so Emby will show titles like i did with the tv show as below? at least with this naming, i can find the 'episode' or series in the year i want to watch Any help to get this to read as the file names show would be greatly appreciated Cuz who freaking knows that 1 Timothy Ch1 is actually listed as "chapter 191" ?? lolol
Solution Luke 42077 Posted June 29, 2025 Solution Posted June 29, 2025 Hi, are your audio files tagged with embedded track numbers? This is where Emby Server gets the information from, not from the file names.
zeilercd 2 Posted June 29, 2025 Author Posted June 29, 2025 hmm not sure?? OH hey, expand my explorer view - i see a "title" column... and a # column.... So perhaps, changing TITLE to match FILE NAME would be what i need to do? to get it to display the way i want? oh ... this will be fun... (looks around for an auto file name/title changing as not looking forward to hand renaming 260 files titles lol) let me change a couple and refresh and see what i get... Well, that did the trick! thanks for making me check for "track numbers"... do you know a quick way to edit the "title" of properties of multiple windows files?? lol
zeilercd 2 Posted June 29, 2025 Author Posted June 29, 2025 MP3Tag for the win! hoping ok to leave link here for anyone else with this sort of issue manual editing of properties of hundreds of files is a ... pita LOL quick, easy, free! thank you again for pointing me in the right direction! https://community.mp3tag.de/t/automatically-batch-a-mp3-title-from-the-file-name/8072/4 1
