[Bug] Metadata reset when adding lyrics #3798
Comments
Hi, can you please provide a specific example? Thanks. |
|
HI, loses what metadata exactly? |
If I select in Emby the audio file and choose edit Metadata in context menu, the metadata has been reseted. |
Hi, like what metadata? |
Title, Year, date, album, author, album author |
Title, year, date, album, author, album author Everything gets removed. Probably emby performs an Metadata scan and because I have disabled online scrappers, it scan the file itself and resets the metadata which I have set in emby. |
Because it rereads the information embedded in the audio file. What did you think refresh metadata was going to do? |
I thougth it does
|
Are there any plans for bugfixing this soon? Edit: Edit2: Like mentioned, the checkmark for using NFO is set in the settings of the library. |
There is no nfo for audio files. If you edit fields in the metadata editor, then they'll get locked. When you refresh metadata you won't lose any data from locked fields, so I don't think there's any bug that needs fixing. |
Thats what I mean: the metadata gets lost, when refreshing. There is no Lock for date, author, album or year Is it possible to integrate, that emby writes metadata directly into the audio file? |
HI, yes this has come up before and is possible for future updates. Thanks. |
I would appreciate it a lot, if it will be integrated soon 🙂 |
@LukePulverenti I am about to script an fix for myself which just loads the tags every hour from embys library.db into the files. But Emby loads after refreshing: Even though Emby loads Title, Album and Interpreter correctly from file. I want to use Emby for an group of people which can listen shared recorded audio files which are not found on any scrapper online. We need a stable metadata managment system, as we need to fill all data by hand. The risk of everything gets removed by an emby feature is not acceptable. But else emby is perfect for our use case and we just bought an premium lifetime key because we tought everything works flawlessly. It is super important for us, that we dont loose our metadata. I beg you to set an priority on this for fixing this for example by adding an "write metadata to file" checkbox in settings. |
The point of refresh metadata is to refresh from sources. Everything gets replaced unless you've locked the fields in the metadata editor. |
See on my 2nd screenshot the lock is open. There is no genre in the .mp3 anymore but doesnt load from source on refresh. |
Please attach the emby server log. Thanks. |
In Line 383 I started refreshing the metadata of that audio file. |
@LukePulverenti I need to have the metadata in files because I dont know when Emby is running the refresh metadata event from itself. |
Hello,
If I set metadata for audiobooks, and upload a .lrc in same directory, the metadata get lost and reseted.
