Emby Server Sorting/Grouping: Filesystem vs. Metainformation

[dassystem 0]

Hi,
my filesystem structure is standard:
 
../Artist/Album/Song.mp3

But I discovered, that some albums are missing inside the Emby library, or some albums have way too many songs in it. It occurs, when I have at least one mp3 at the same level as an album-directory:

---
Example:

[Artist]/
  [Album1]/1.mp3
  [Album2]/2.mp3
  noalbum.mp3

This results in Emby library with just one single album (called Album1) with 1.mp3, 2.mp3 and noalbum.mp3 merged alltogether. I can't find Album2, but the metadata of 2.mp3 is correct.
---

Can I enable sorting and grouping just by metadata, not by filesystem hierachy?

Thanks in advance

Hi, the issue is the presence of noalbum.mp3, which causes the artist folder to be treated like an album. If you can put that into an album folder then that will resolve this. Thanks.

As far as this goes, we are working to get to that point so that we can accommodate any kind of mish mash folder structure, but we're not fully there yet. In the meantime, a little bit of structure is required. Thanks.
