[Music] Artists' Genres Generation

Server Version#: 1.4.1.940-574c2fa7

Is there a way to automatically generate an artist’s genres based on what albums you have from him?

So let us take a basic example:

I have 2 albums on him with Progressive House and House genres.


If I use Plex’s filters to see artists with Progressive House music, he will not show up. Instead, I have to change to albums view and filter the albums.

I believe that you can understand why I would like to find artists with Progressive House music and not specific albums.

I also wonder why is Plex not collecting the genres / tags from Last.fm about this artist as found on their website: https://www.last.fm/music/Deorro/+tags - I have also played with the agents, but they do not make any difference in what is being collected about this artist.

Actually just found the solution:

Manage Library > Edit > Advanced > Genres: change to ‘Embedded Tags’
(then refresh the artist)
