Incoming album tracks takes up all the "Latest music" slots until grouped

[ryancey 55]

It can take up to a few minutes until all the songs of a freshly scanned album are grouped. Until then, the home section "Latest music" will show each track separately.

I think the album should be visible only after emby processes it (metadata/cover/etc) and not as soon as new files are detected

I guess this could be a issue as Emby has no idea how to group them until they are processed, It just knows all this is new content.

Yes that is exactly the conundrum.

Hmm are we talking about the egg or the chicken

Maybe only display processed items then? What would be the downside?

Over the years users have said that they generally like seeing items show up as soon as they are available, and allow them to see metadata getting filled in while that happens.

What about a user or a library setting in that case?

Yes more options are certainly possible. Thanks.
