Server Version#: 1.30.0.6486

My collection has been tagged with Picard/Musicbrainz and I often include multiple genres for albums, all separated with a forward slash. While Kodi is able to parse this appropriately, I’m finding that the Plex scraper is grouping everything into a single giant genre tag. Is there a way to instruct Plex to treat the slash as a delineator?

Thanks.

I’m starting to think I’m not going to get this solved. As of version 1.31.1.6782 my music genre metadata is still functionally useless.

See [Only one embedded genre tag being read](https://forums.plex.tv/t/only-one-embedded-genre-tag-being-read/795529) for details.

This was very informative, if a bit disheartening. Thanks.
