I upgraded my test server to Version 1.24.3.5033 and it had the following patch notes of relevance:
- (Music) In some cases, tracks from separate discs could get their ratings linked (#13038)
Unfortunately it does not fix my issue.
Here are the steps I preformed:
(the test server has no activity to minimize noise introduced from using it)
- Upgraded Version 1.24.3.5033
- Changed rating on Album A
- Album B is still linked
- Did plex dance on album A (removed linked track, cleared trash, cleaned bundles, replaced track)
- Album A is still linked (has a rating even though it should have been added as a new track in library and thus unrated)
I am currently working around it by setting linked tracks to 0 star/unrated and using the following mood tags on tracks: “Broken Rating” and “
////” (as needed) while leaving the ratings alone on unbroken files.
The linkages SEEM to be related to the album names, pairs seem to be more likely to form if the albums have words common in their album names. (but this is absolute)
I have been working my albums alphabetically when setting ratings, and it’s usually no more then 2 albums away (I sort them by album → album name → alphabetically).
