Any ideas where it is pulling the DISPLAY TITLE from? I have an extensive library of music - and all have been processed with MP3TAG to make sure they are as complete as possible.

The âDisplay Titleâ is currently composed of the âlanguageâ tag on the stream and its codec.
Since a language tag on pure audio files is pretty much unknown, it will always display âUnknownâ for your music.
This âdisplay titleâ is mainly intended for audio streams inside of video files, where it is good practice to tag the language of the stream.
You cannot tag the language in many audio file containers. And even if you could, it is questionable if Plex will bother to read it, since it is mainly useless with music.
When what might be 85% of your life is over and youâve not been able âget used toâ some things within Plex - join the club.
The correct response from Plex would be to simply not look at MUSIC files so it canât show âUnknownâ, but apparently that news will NEVER reach those who could fix it.
USERS are the ONLY group that seem to care about this - and Plex clearly does not care about this.
Bingo - another user with the correct response.
(thereâs âmore thanâ a million of us - and ALL of us know how to correct âthe problemâ - Will Plex ever get it? Stay Tuned)
Plex has drilled into us the virtue of setting language tags (some of us didnât need drilling on the matter as âUnknownâ 'causes violent allergic reactions) - and now Plex is displaying âUnknownâ in a place we canât fix - and the âSolutionâ is to ânot worry about itâ?
Horse Nuggets to that, I say.
Fresh, Steaming Horse Nuggets.
âMen? We have 1.4 million howitzer rounds to lob into enemy territory today.â
â25% of them have âDefectiveâ written on the blowey-uppy-end and will in fact, blowey-uppy in the breech wiping out the entire crew.â
âThe brass wants half the crew to stand over there, while this half gets blowey-uppied.â
âDonât look at that writing - it doesnât concern you and will be harder to fix than finding your replacements.â
