music tags for featured artists (server 4.6)

[Luke 42077]

Yea we're not going to move away from ffprobe. We should be able to update it to add the support ourselves.

That would be amazing. Thanks again Luke for your patience with this. lol.

Great news. I figured out how to use MusicBee to create a custom "Artists" tag consisting of \ separated artists so that ffprobe and Emby are able to parse them correctly. If anyone else runs into this issue, shoot me a DM and I'll walk you through how to do it.

Wanna just post it here?

Hi guys,

the latest beta of Emby Server for Windows (4.7.0.7) includes support for reading null-separated id3v2 values.

Please let us know whether it works for you!

@PenkethBoy there was another topic about this that you were involved in that I don't recall. Also @Vicpa @ginjaninja

[softworkz 5066]

@Luke - Wrong topic?

[Luke 42077]

No, correct topic. They have all been involved in id3v2 discussions elsewhere.

[softworkz 5066]

Aah, got it - thanks!

i gave it a very quick  go with this file from the ffmpeg bug tracker linked in this thread, as soon as i saw in the release notes...but i couldnt get it to work...perhaps i need to persevere? or maybe the improvement doesnt apply to id3v2.4?

Are you able to share the command you are using to get ffprobe to output the raw value of the tag and not stop at the null separator? For troubleshooting we always used to use ffprobe to "see what emby sees" ..so it would be good to continue to be able to do this...

Your browser does not support the HTML5 audio tag

Track is showing the tags from that test file above.

Album is not showing all genres though.

Not sure why but I had to refresh multiple times, but it appears this way now.

[ginjaninja 605]

test file works fine for me...

 thats dedication maintaining your own version to fix the issue....great stuff... the other projects relying on ffprobe  will be jealous

[Luke 42077]

Thanks for the feedback !

Looks like the customization to ffprobe was not pulled into the latest versions of Emby (v4.8, v4.9). Multiple artists are missing on mp3 tracks and albums when tagged with ID3v2.4.

Spinning up Emby v4.7.0.9 now to compare.
