Emby scraping album data incorrectly and won't fix

[ErelyesNZ 3]

I have a compilation album (various artists), musicbrainz release is here.

Emby flat out insists on recording the album artist as 'The Prodigy'.

The files are in a various artists folder, I have set all the mp3 tags manually, I have tried deleting both the artist (The Prodigy) and the album's .nfo tags.... still, whenever Emby scrapes this album, it can't get the correct data, and sets it to album artist : The Prodigy.

I can't manually edit the album artist either. Can we please have the ability to manually set the 'album artist' for an album. (This has been an issue for a while I think)

As long as the files are in the album title folder within the Various Artists folder you should be able to enter the MusicBrainz Id's to fix it:

MusicBrainz Album Id: 
a024d2bb-40e3-4033-b540-9409b8c771ec

MusicBrainz Album Artist Id:
89ad4ac3-39f7-470e-963a-56509c546377

MusicBrainz Release Group Id:
94f70739-7f3f-489e-b138-d7f4fe36759a

 

Hope this helps.

I have literally never got anything other than a blank page when trying to use this. I have looked in the knowledge base but still nothing.

Can you give us an example of a movie or tv show that can't identify?

Hi - it was music (albums) it wouldn't identify. Thanks

Same here, I don’t get any results which is why I recommended entering the info.

Yes, I do end up doing that. I just wasn't sure if others did tend to find it gave suggestions - seems so for other media, but not music, sounds like.

We would need specific examples with folder structure.  Also what embedded tags the tracks already contain.  If no embedded tags, then the specific naming scheme.
