I have just started using Plex to manage my audiobooks. The library was previously managed via iTunes and the metadata was quite carefully managed. E.g. i have 5 books tagged as artist “Terry Pratchett”. Each book has unique artist and album tags which are both the same, eg “Wyrd Sisters (Discworld, #6; Witches #2)”
For some reason Plex is not reading the ‘albums’ of the files and is incorrectly adding a tag. So for all books by Terry Pratchett, they all have the album set as “Wyrd Sisters (Discworld, #6; Witches #2)”
The library has “prefer local metadata” option checked.
Many thanks Tom. That has worked 99%…
Annoyingly, Plex has 410 albums and 418 tracks. In the folders i have 411 files. Is there a way i can easily export a list from Plex (preferably with metadata) so i can analyse the discrepancies?
There’s a plug-in called Export Tools that might help.
With movies/tv shows Plex will identify „duplicates“ with a blue-ish square in the top-left corner of a poster with the number of how many files/versions are bundled in this record. I haven’t yet tested this with artists/albums/songs but it might be worth a shot to check if an album of yours has accidentally been merged with another album
