I’ve never seen the rating issue, and I can’t reproduce it with any of the multi-disc sets that I have. How are you rating the track? Are you doing it from the track list on the Album detail page, or are you opening the Edit Track screen and doing it from there?
It’s weird that it would happen on some and not others. That makes me think there’s an issue with your tags, or folder structure. They re-wrote the Plex Music agent last year to be much more accurate in dealing with embedded metadata (and it was a great improvement, eliminating some serious bugs), but the tradeoff is that it’s a lot pickier about the tags being exactly as it expects. Also, for reasons passing understanding, it actually became more dependent on the folder structure.
Would you mind posting some screenshots? Pick an album that is having this problem and take a screenshot showing the folder structure and filenames. Then a screenshot of your tagging application, showing at least these fields: Album Title, Track Title, Album Artist, Track Artist, Disc Number, Track Number.
You might also look through this How-To article and make sure Plex is fully configured to prefer embedded tags. It’s more than just the one checkbox.
- The disc number should never be included in the Track number field or the folder/file name. It’s more likely to cause problems than to resolve them.
- The Discnumber field must be populated, and only with the disc number itself (no “1 of 3” or “1/3.” “01” or “1” is a matter of personal preference. Plex has no problem with leading zeroes.
