Library picking up content in another source


Recommended Posts

Posted

I created an "Audio Books" library.  The Author\Books appear as expected after pointing it to a folder called "Audio Books".  Unfortunately, it is also including content that is definitely not in the "Audio Books" folder.  It is picking up content from a "Music" folder which was not included when setting up the library.  It's not a great deal of music but I have no explanation for this behavior.  Can anyone provide an explanation?

The following folders full of music are not in the "Audio Books" folder yet appear in the "Audio Books" library:

- Unknown

- Various

- Various Artist

- Sound Tracks

There are others.

Screenshot attached.

As you see in the screenshot, "Audio Books" is the only folder referenced in the library setup.  "Audio Books" contains no music.  It is certain that EMBY is including music tracks from a folder called "Music".

If you look at the audiobook files with mp3tag,

do you see those unwanted artist in those files?

No. As previously posted, "Audio Books" contains no music files.  None. 

All music on my Synology device is contained in the "music" folder which (as seen in the screenshot) was not added as a target folder when setting up the library.

Yes but you audiobook can also have mp3tag's.

Yes, in fact, many of my audio books do have MP3 tags, but that was not my posted question which is why is music from a different and unlisted folder appearing in the library?

If you go to the info page for those songs, which path does it show at the bottom of the page? Like this:

It does not show the same path that was added to the library (see screenshot above) which is:

/volume1/Audio Books/Audio Books

All of the music that appear in the "Audio Books" library have the path:

/volume1/Music/Music

Something doesn't sound right there. Could you share a screenshot of your server Settings>Library tab in the sidebar, where all your libraries and their paths are listed?
