[HowTo] Configure Plex to use embedded metadata (music)

Yes, the settings are all configured to use local files.

We should continue this in the original thread, rather than muddying up the How-To thread.

Send all payment to me.

This doesn’t work with latest server version
arrrrrrggggghhh
it used to work fine before.
I get music albums where no artwork is loaded automatically and instead the artist picture (from folder.jpg) is used, also the year of the album is ignored, it shows Originally Available “1900-01-01”
The album art is however available under “Poster” section in Edition mode, but that requires going album 1 by 1 to set the proper album artwork.
What I am not sure about this How To is , which scanner & agent combination in Music Library Setting shall we use to prioritize local metadata/artwork?

There’s a highlighted statement at the top of the original thread:

When you set the Agent, it automatically sets the Scanner to the appropriate one.

If it’s not working, please start a new thread in the Metadata and Adding Files forum.

Please update this HowTo as it doe NOT reflect the current version in 2022.

I went through it and updated the instructions 2 or 3 months ago. If you see something that’s incorrect, feel free to point it out.
