Server Version#: win 10 - 1.27.1.5891 Player Version#: Plex Web 4.83.2 I noticed that recently the genre tags of my music collection have been smushed back together. It hasnt happened with all of my music: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/d/8/7/d876041387110ee62557e1b734c40ddf1362903d.png) But it did happen with a lot, and it looks like this: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/8/f/3/8f38ba696cbb3a507d322df4e280fc0ec38bfafe.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/9/c/9/9c972325168710002053635f6f8b68b01f93c6eb.png) I’ve been tagging my music files since at least 2017 with forward slashes in the genre tag to have them created as separate genres in Plex: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/0/0/5/00553728efff9bfbd2e48f70ce5305ddfeb0e3f8.png) Did something happen in a recent version to change this behaviour? And is there a way for me to get this functionality back, and to get my separated genres back? Because this is pretty useless right now… 😕 ---

Looks like ffmpeg is only picking up the first one, I’ll have to investigate a bit further to see what’s going on. I can also confirm with ffprobe that only the first value is read.

I think this is actually just because ffmpeg doesn’t see `/` as a valid delimiter. Use `;` instead.
