Premium Music library set up in PMS   Local Media Assets listed at top of each agent setting in PMS   All tracks have genres set up the way I like them   PMS scans the albums just fine.   In PMS: Artists - genres seem to be coming from Plex Premium music settings.  this is just fine as My tagged in settings are per track/album   Albums - Genres are coming from my tags in the actual media (MP3) files - All is good so far....     However, in PHT, both artist and Albums are using the Premium music genres, not my tagged ones....   Why doesn't PHT match PMS? ---

PHT shows by default Artists. Therefore genre filter only shows genres which are tagged on artists. But the internal genre tag of a file applies to an album. If you want to filter by album genre, you must set the list to album first. It is the same as in the web app. ---

I'm seeing the same issue. The Web client, when displaying the Album view filtered by Genre, will use the genre list drawn from the embedded ID3 Genre tags. This is the correct behaviour. However, both PHT and the Windows 8.1 app, even when set to display Albums filtered by Genre, will use what appears to be a list of genres drawn from the Artist metadata, instead of my embedded genre tags. This is not the correct behaviour. In my opinion, this is clearly a bug, and an annoying one. Please can it be addressed.

Jut a question here...   I am a plex pass member....   I am not expecting a 24 hour fox on anything... or a 24 hour response.  I am paying in the hopes that I can get some support. Is there a part of this forum where I can bring up things like this and see them acknowledged? This is either a bug, or a problem with how I have set things up. ---

We are investigating this, it looks like the artist genre list is displayed instead of the album genre list. ---

> We are investigating this, it looks like the artist genre list is displayed instead of the album genre list. Thanks for this. And what should the behaviour be if we select "none" (don't use genres from Gracenote) in the Music library Advanced settings? Does that mean that we should not see any genres associated with artists, other than those we add manually to each artist? ---
