Here’s another annoying “bug”
I’ve been adding releases to MusicBrainz, under the assumption, that at some point in time, either during the regular maintenance schedule, or the relentless re-scanning of unmatched albums and artists, it will find the match that is at MB.
Nope! - Remains unmatched, with the same problem. No option to match, only fix match, and the first option clearly shows the correct match at 100%. The XML for a track has the info as “guid="mbid://
” and “parentGuid="mbid://
” and “grandparentGuid="plex://artist/
” with the identical track ID, album ID, and artist ID info that MusicBrainz has.
The problem gets worse, if you only have one unmatched album by the artist. The artist will be unmatched as well.
So, as far as I can tell, adding info to MusicBrainz has no effect unless you wait the required waiting time of 7-10 days to be approved. Plex will show there’s a match after one day, but will not apply it. It will remain unmatched until it has been approved.
And then only with a manual match.
