Hello all,
After much love of Subsonic, but the fact that it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain on a NAS, I decided to come back to Plex and give it a new go. I see it has made much progress and the web interface is awesome!
However, I can't find a way to have Plex properly tag my music files. I spent years ripping and tagging my huge CD collection, with genres and artists and albums. I would just like Plex to obligingly read my ID3 and FLAC tags and deal with that. However, the agents go completely nuts.
When Plex scans the library, it gets about half of the tags right, and dumps random albums to random artists - his favorite seems to be Nobuo Uematsu (!), composer of Final Fantasy fame, who gets a duplicate entry in the database and whose doppelganger ends up with various albums not related to him AT ALL.
- I am using the Personal Media Artists in the Library options.
- In the Agents section of the options, both Artists and Albums, Personal Media Artists (or Albums) are force-checked and Local Media Assets are checked as well. (By the way, what is the difference between those two??)
- Hardware: Synology DS412+ with DSM up to date, custom RAM increase to 2 Gb, latest Plex version downloaded from the official website and not the Synology package repository.
I would just like Plex to read my artist / albums tags and be done with it... I don't give a damn about the fancy metadata it can retrieve, I think the basics would be to work with the user's media, the way he or she stores it. Much rougher software like Subsonic reads tags from mp3 and FLAC, I would guess Plex can do it too? But how?
Thank you for your help!
