One track on an album getting incorrect metadata


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I've got a problem where one track on a 6 track album won't get the correct metadata. The embedded tags are all identical to the rest of the tracks that do get identified correctly. I've done the thing of removing the folder from the filesystem, refreshing the library, putting the folder back, and refreshing the library again, to flush out any old metadata, but with no success.

Here is a direct link to the release on MusicBrainz

Here are screenshots of the embedded tags of two tracks. The Jack Beats remix gets identified correctly, the James Yuill remix doesn't.

When they get imported into Emby, the James Yuill remix doesn't get put onto the same album as the rest, it's treated as a separate album:

When looking at the metadata that Emby has pulled, it looks like this. The first screenshot is the James Yuill remix, the second is from one of the tracks identifying correctly. As you can tell, the MusicBrainz IDs are somehow doubled. Even after manually editing the metadata in Emby to match the James Yuill remix to the others, it still isn't put in the album with the other tracks. Removing identification and redoing identification does nothing to fix it either.

Here is a server log of me removing the folder from the library, rescanning, adding it back in, and rescanning again. Server version is 4.9.5.0, running in Docker on ElementaryOS. Please advise.

Oh and here are the metadata settings for this library. But this is the only album I've ever experienced any problem with. Settings are also to read from and write to nfo
