Plexamp is showing the Artist, Album and Rating > Title Missing
Webplayer Album list shows the titles (in bold, as by design)
When playing only Artist, Album and Rating are shown (Small view and Fullscreen)
if you edit the track (pen symbol) the Titel Field is empty
Even more nerdy information:
I did write a python script using plexapi to check what the DB will deliver… Same result… Python script is here if you want to try it…
from plexapi.server import PlexServer
from plexapi.audio import Audio
from plexapi.audio import Artist
baseurl = 'http://server:32400'
token = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx'
plex = PlexServer(baseurl, token)
def get_tracklist(artist, album):
tracks = plex.library.section("Music").get(artist).album(album).tracks()
counter = 0
for i in tracks:
print(f"Artist: ", tracks[counter].grandparentTitle, "- Album: ", tracks[counter].parentTitle,"- Titel: ", tracks[counter].title, "- Rating: ", tracks[counter].userRating)
counter = counter + 1
get_tracklist("use-an-artist", "use-album-title")

For example one song with “empty tittle” has this xml:
// MediaContainer size=“1” allowSync=“1” identifier=“com.plexapp.plugins.library” librarySectionID=“1” librarySectionTitle=“MUSICA_Tecno” librarySectionUUID=“ed5e835d-cab9-4df0-a186-38b11e9040f0” mediaTagPrefix=“/system/bundle/media/flags/” mediaTagVersion=“1641979422”>
Ah yes, I hate this bug so much. I have been able to reproduce by doing the following.
1.) Add new album to plex
2.) Once the album is fully added, add a new song and re-scan library.
3.) The titles will be removed for that album, minus the new songs.
The reason why it’s not showing the song title in plexamp is because plexamp using title vs sort title. The title will also be missing from playlists. I think the web interface uses sort title, which is why you are still able to see the titles via the web interface.
Refreshing metadata doesn’t do anything for me, so this has been a major pain point for me coming up on like a year at this point.

I updated to latest version and the files i repaired las week has been lost the titles AGAIN!!
This is not aceptable because we spend alot of time repairing manually thinks that should work automatically and once it is repaired the new update broke again.
Please review titles metadata structure code in plex server code… there is a big bug.

Dear @dane22 i have just updated to latest plex server version 1.25.5.5492 and it crashes title on aleatory songs. last week I repaired the title song (about 200 files) and yesterday after update plex lost the titles again . I think there is a bug in plex code. ÂżHow can i help you to look at it?
Dear friends
I repaired all title names of songs that i have on player list (i spend 3 hours clicking on refresh metadata )
and once i updated to the new plex server version titles forgetted again… this is very anoying…
best regards

I know that in order to get movie matches to show up for unmatched movies, we have to go add the movies to either IMDB or TMDB and then wait for them to propagate.
