For the past few weeks, any new music album from “Various Artists” or not labeled by artist on contact displays on Plex as by one artist in my collection, with one of his album covers as the poster. No idea how this could have started, but it’s frustrating and I don’t know how to fix it. If I trash every file with that wrong identifiatiion, they just keep going there again. How can this happen and what do I do to stop it?
