Style tags not read from my files

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files

Tried to find but could not find a proper answer.

I have tagged all my music files with genre / styles information from Discogs.

I see the corresponding genres accordingly displayed in Plex. But the styles fields don’t match and are displaying other or empty tags.

Why is the info from the style tag not fetched by the style tag in Plex?

And how do I get the styles in Plex.

Of course I have double checked the settings in my music Library to prefer and read the local tags.

From what I understand style/mood tags are not imported from your metadata media files into plex. They are only fetched from the plex cloud.

Thanks Dokuro,

That’s a pity, was hoping for another answer :slightly_smiling_face:

Is there a way you know of it can be done in another manner besides Plex building an option to read those tags?

If I’m not mistaken, user @thlayli_x has written a Python script that reads tags using an external tag reading library (mutagen) and can insert any tags back into the Plex database. Best to contact him/her for details.

If someone else is having set “prefer local tags” and is struggling with styles showing up: this week @thlayli_x improved his Python script which imports Styles from your local files.

Now my Artists and Albums are displayed with Genre and Style tags like Discogs structure.

I want to take my :tophat: off to @thlayli_x and say: thank you!
