Hello, I’m having a problem with multi disc albums in Plex. When I add an album with multi discs they’ll sometimes show as all being disc 1. Using Erasure’s 2020 Chorus re-release as an example, it shows as:

Disc 1

1. Chorus  
1 . Over the Rainbow  
1 . Chorus (Live)

When it should actually be

Disc 1

1. Chorus

Disc 2

1. Over the rainbow

Disc 3

1. Chorus (Live)

I tired to fix this by going into the edit function and moving all tracks into the correct discs e.g selecting over the rainbow and changing disc 1 to 2 however despite making sure the lock icon coloured orange, every time I do a library update it reverts back to the incorrect disc.

Any ideas on how to fix this? as it basically means I have to manual fix a disc every time I play on playing an album in it’s entirety in plexamp.

If Plex is configured to prefer local metadata, it’s important that your embedded tags be accurate
