Music in Audiobook library

[TheMattman0425 0]

I have created two libraries, one for audio books, the other for music.  The source folders are one the same drive, but in completely separate folders .  The audio book library has only the audio book's  folder, while the music library has only the music folder associated.  But, the audio book library has a "Various Artists" sub and plays music from the music folder.  Why did this happen?  How can I resolve this?

 

And I have just discovered that some audio books are in the music library.

Hi, what do you mean by sub?

So in the library for Audio books, there are folders (subs) for authors, there is one for "Various Artists" (listed as VA) and this in the Audio book library has music, and then vice versa in the Music library.

Hi, I remember this being mentioned elsewhere by someone else previously...

(Sorry, I don't have time right now to go looking for the post, or try testing again.)

You could try renaming your embedded "Various Artists" tags in the audiobook files to "Various Authors" or something like that, in Mp3tag (or similar app) and then rescan in Emby. As long as it is a different name to what is in your music library. This should hopefully stop the crossover between the different library types.

Perhaps try a small test first to see if this works. Then bulk-editing should be reasonably quick to do.

Thanks.  In further testing and playing around, I have discovered that a certain source folder within the audio book folder is the culprit.  For whatever reason if that particular book is in the source, it makes the reference to the music library.  So I have removed it, problem solved that direction.  And just looked, it seems to have resolved issue the other way. 

 

Also, what was driving me kinda nutty was the fact that when I went into the "Various Artists" sub, and clicked on a song, the source for it was a folder that the AudioBook library should not even be looking at.

 

Issue is resolved, that one book is not important, so I am leaving it offline.
