Duplicated Artists with different MusicBrainz identifiers

[leander091 0]

Hello,

 

I'm experiencing some issues with my music collection and the MusicBrainz plugin.

I am seeing the same artist twice in artist view because the MusicBrainz database contains an different artist with the same name.

 

Is it possible remove the artist from the view or blacklist an MusicBrainz identifier? As an solution i have tried to remove the metadata directory's on the filesystem but when an metadata refresh occurs the faulty metadata is downloaded again. 

 

These artists below are two of the problem artists.

 

The correct id is:https://musicbrainz.org/artist/cc2c9c3c-b7bc-4b8b-84d8-4fbd8779e493

The duplicated id is:https://musicbrainz.org/artist/1de93a63-3a9f-443a-ba8a-a43b5fe0121e

 

 

 

The correct id is: https://musicbrainz.org/artist/5ff525f0-a7ed-41ba-ba01-f88ebd2df482

The duplicated id is: https://musicbrainz.org/artist/3b98a0c6-faae-4754-9c08-a6671761d4ac

 

I'm using Emby 4.1.1.0

Hi, are your songs tagged with those different values?

I don't think the files are tagged with the different values, the only link i see right now is the Appars On album link. 

The Both artists are linking in Emby to the same album.

The wrong one for example Adele, has the following data in the artist.info

location: /var/lib/emby/metadata/artists/Adele

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<artist>
  <biography />
  <outline />
  <lockdata>false</lockdata>
  <dateadded>2017-11-03 21:28:12</dateadded>
  <title>Adele</title>
  <runtime>55</runtime>
  <genre>Classic R&B</genre>
  <genre>Soul</genre>
  <genre>Pop</genre>
  <musicbrainzartistid>1de93a63-3a9f-443a-ba8a-a43b5fe0121e</musicbrainzartistid>
  <art />

I'm not sure at this moment where the location of the other metadata file is.

Try clicking through the metadata manager on some of the songs. You can use that to check and see if any of the songs are tagged with musicbrainz id's. If they are then it comes from information embedded within the files.

There are no songs tagged with musicbrainz id's in the metadata manager, only the album itself is tagged with the correct musicbrainz id.

Ultimately if you look you'll find something tagged with the duplicated mbz id and you can simply change it to the correct one. Once the duplicated id is no longer being referenced then it should go away.

If you click on the artists shouldn't it bring up a list so you can see what items have the incorrect tag?

Yes if you click an artist then you can see the albums from that artist, and then the songs for each album.
