I’ve got an album from Abrahma which the Last.fm agent doesn’t automatically match. So I went and clicked “Match…”, but only one entry shows up for Abraham, which is of course not the same.
However, if I go to the Last.fm website and search, I find Abrahma as the first hit, with full info and album and all: https://www.last.fm/music/Abrahma
So why doesn’t the Last.fm agent return this hit?
Please list the file and folder names.
Please do also show which embedded meta tags you have set to which values.
Is this a premium music library or a regular one?
Sorry, I forgot some details. When I click “Match” I also tried “Search options”, and saw that only the (correct) artist name comes up. Clicking “Search” gives me single, wrong, Abraham entry again. This is why I’m so confused.
Regardless of what’s in the file, if I do a manual search, shouldn’t I get all relevant hits?
This is a regular library, server is running as a FreeNAS plugin (FreeBSD) so slightly older version, 1.13.9.5439. I guess I could try installing Plex on my desktop just to try the latest version.
I think this issue needs some low-level diagnostics. (going over log files etc.)
But I don’t know FreeBSD enough to be of use for that.
All I can recommend is:
Settings - Server - Network - ‘Show Advanced’ - IPv6 support <-- DISABLE
Thanks for the help so far.
I found my ways to the log files, and found that the issue seems to be that the Last.fm agent only retrieves a maximum of 9 potential hits, and that for some reason more than 9 other artists come before the correct one in the result set. Thus the agent never sees the correct artist.
By manually looking at subsequent artists, I could find the correct match in the JSON as hit #13.
Personally I would say the real issue here is that the webservice hosted by Plex that caches the Last.fm results returns fuzzy matches before exact matches. Although it is a deficiency that the Last.fm agent does not continue pulling results beyond the first 9, given that it discards all but one of the first 9 due to being poor matches.
Here’s the JSON file for the first batch of results, the only one the agent considers:
