Why is Emby scan overriding settings?

OK there is some special sauce happening here. Because you have fanart enabled, that forces musicbrainz to be enabled as well. This is because fanart is based on musicbrainz ids, and before we put this in place, users who had disabled musicbrainz were constantly reporting that fanart wasn't finding any images. The same also applies for audiodb. It's all based on musicbrainz ids. If you disable those, then you'll get the behavior you want.

 

I will test this in the morning. (And if you're right, there should be some indication of this in the library configuration page!)

But in the meantime the bigger question remains: why does Emby have musicbrainz lookups overwrite user implemented metadata? That just seems fundamentally wrong. Why can that not be fixed?
