The new genres that have just been incorporated are clearly very thorough. But they don’t match the genres that I used in my metadata. Some do but some don’t.
How am I going to deal with this mismatch? Re-edit all my metadata.?
Have you configured your library to use genres from embedded tags?
I thought the genres list was generated from you own metadata…
they are added to when new items are loaded into that library that have different genres then what was previously listed.
did you add something that had those new genres in the metadata.
I am using Plex Server v 1.19.2.2737 embbeded in MyCloudEx2Ultra NAS.
I believe my problem is my metadata. I was getting very confusing results as I attempted to clean up my library.
The confusion got worse, as I went back and forth between a clean library and a library full of unknowns. I think what has been happening is that have been getting a clean library…then if I “refresh all metadata” with “prefer local metadata” I have been re-introducing Unknowns from my metadata. Does that seem possible.
So… I have just found a bunch of albums where Track 1 had no metadata other than Unknown…every column…but only Track 1. How the heck did that happen???
Now I am tracking down all the bad metadata. Fortunately my collection is not that big. Hopefully that will resolve my issues.
The good news is that the last update has some good features for sorting albums by Genre, mood, style etc.
As to my Genres not being available, these fields were populated in Plex…after I corrected a few records in my metadata.
Is it possible that Plex reads only the first record in an album when it populates Genres etc?
