Otto and Russ-
I’ll keep this as brief as possible.
-
I did change my Windows settings to view hidden files, there were none.
-
In advanced editing options, I did have “local files only” selected for album art.
-
Using this one album only for the purpose of the experiment, I did the “Plex Dance.” That did not fix the erroneous album cover. (With use local only selected, why?)
-
Using Otto’s suggestion to use Plex to edit the album, my art was under poster. Selecting it there fixed the problem.
Having said that, I don’t think this is a solution–I have too many problems to fix this way. The easiest way would be to delete my entire library and do the Plex Dance–but that didn’t work. Thus, I’d really like to know why that didn’t work.
Another, related, problem, which is on the topic of this thread–compilations. I have a lot of them, and the way I’ve handled them for years using LMS and OrangeSqueeze is this. If, for example, it’s a tribute album like “Nod to Bob,” I have changed the Album Artist tag from “various artists” to “Bob Dylan,” and unchecked the compilation flag. When I want to play it (LMS), instead of scrolling through dozens of albums under Various Artists, I can simply go to Bob Dylan and see it there.
Using Plex, however, it does not appear under Dylan, it is listed under Various Artists. What is it about Plex that is not recognizing this as a Dylan album and instead considering it as a Various Artists? It seems to me this might be related to my cover art issue, i.e., Plex is not recognizing my choice to use local metadata.
