Emby 4.6 Music - Multi-disc release displayed as multiple albums

[somy 25]

Hi,

After upgrading to Emby 4.6 I noticed the music library was re-scanned, and after that a few of multi-disc releases are displayed as multiple albums instead. It happens only for a few albums, and those albums are properly tagged and displayed as a single album in other players (foobar2000, Audirvana).

One example below, the album "Anthology" by Bryan Adams, 2 CDs release, and the musicbrainz link: https://musicbrainz.org/release/4eb0b5b1-a867-4edc-99b9-3557962d001e

It's splitted into two albums, one of them have a mark "Disc 2" despite both albums point to the same musicbrainz ID and have the same metadata (album artist, album name, release date etc.)

Hi, what do these look like on disc?

Here is a multi disc example from Queen show the transition from disc 1 to 2 in the UI

Here is what it looks like in Mp3tag

Sometimes there are "hidden" tags which throw Emby off.  In particular, do all these files have the same "AlbumArtist" (N.B. no space) tags?  You have to use the menu item View / Extended Tags to see in Mp3tag - Tagscanner is easier for that one.

Do the tracks have different musicbrainz album ids ? That would also be why.
