Track 0 Music Tracks not getting a plex track id

Player Version#: Version 4.92.0

This maybe a edge case but said I’d mention it. Find an album which has a track numbered zero (0). Two examples, are Arcade Fire - Reflektor and Kylie Minogue - Light Years. Screenshot below from Arcade Fire, see Disk 1 track 0.

Here are the albums from MusicBrainz :

Arcade Fire - Reflektor -> https://musicbrainz.org/release/51860ecf-56cb-4c82-b7f1-dec80ebf5165
Kylie Minogue - Light Years -> https://musicbrainz.org/release/d310b3e5-ad65-43a4-b0c1-21e93d789078

When these get to plex the 0 tracks have a guid="local://xxxx label where all other tracks in the albums do not and have a correct guid="plex://track/xxxx detected.

Suspect its a bug with plex not taking into account a 0 track number. xmls from both tracks attached below for reference.

“Prefer local metatags” ticked or not?
What is the content of the “Track #” metatag?

[anon5074910]

Correct, local tags are used. Here is the content from the arcade fire track. Is there something else you might want ?

BTW… I’ve almost 35k tracks and only these two tracks are coming into plex with the local guid (I’ve checked the db so can be certain of that).

You are only showing the MB-related tags.
What is tagged as “Track number”?

[anon5074910]

Sorry, updated screenshot with a better one giving all the tags. Track number is 0 and disk is 1, as plex picks up from the earlier screenshot in my OP.

Does this mean that you have only 2 albums which have a track number 0?
Or are there more?
Because the few I’ve found in my lib are all coming thorugh correctly. But they are flac, which uses different meta tags.

Correct, only 2 albums in my plex server which have track 0 which are the two I listed above. I’m still moving my library to plex so might have more in the future but as of now that is all.

Interesting, should have said my files are mp3’s. Have tried plex dance of the album and artist just to be sure but they still came into plex with local for those 0 tracks only.

BTW… when you say, coming through correctly do you mean they appear in the plex UI as track 0 or when you examine the xml itself it has a guid set to a plex track id ?

[OttoKerner]

Both.

[anon5074910]

Any other thoughts ?

If you use local metadata anyway, couldn’t you just start the album with track 1 and simply move the numbers down?

If you would rather have it like musicbrainz has it, why not turn off local metadata?

In a sense, having the “pre-track” as track 0 is only a cosmetic thing by musicbrainz. It doesn’t make much sense for local metadata imo.
