Does Emby Automatically Refresh Music Metadata From Files?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi,

 

As the title suggests, does Emby every automatically refresh the metadata from the files themselves? 

 

Sometimes I may see an error (almost always artwork) and I will fix the file then manually refresh metadata and select replace images manually.  

 

Thanks!

Yes it will.

Yes it will.

Isn't a Manual Refresh needed to re-read embedded metadata?

However you have configured the regular library scan.

No because the server will see the timestamp of the file has changed and will know that the information needs to be refreshed.

Hey Luke, what timestamp specifically (e.g. Created, Modified, Accessed)?

Created and Modified you would assume.
