Trouble adding some music videos

Server Version#: 1.22.1.4228 (Windows 10 Pro)

Hi All,

So I have seen these threads pop up from time to time and have looked through them and can not seem to resolve the problem I am having. I am hoping that I am missing something silly and will feel like an idiot when someone points it out.

So I have been adding music videos and concerts to for some of my music lately using the global folder method. Things have been work pretty well and I have been able to videos and concerts to a few different artists now, however there are two artists for the life of me that I can not get the videos/concerts to show up for.

Troubleshooting steps I’ve tried:

  • Scan all libraries after adding files.
  • Refresh the metadata for the artists that I have added videos for.
  • Moving the files in and out of sub folders (artist folders under music video main folder).
  • Changing permissions on sub folders to make sure that is not an issue.
  • Restarting the server.
  • Refresh metadata for the entire music library.

I have read the music video support article a couple of times to try to make sure I have not missed anything funny. I have made sure that I have added the appropriate identifier to the end of the file with no space ( -video.mp4, -concert.mp4 ). I have music for these artists in my library as well.

I feel like I should mention that if I watch the console logs on the server for the artists that the videos are showing up for, when I refresh metadata for them I can see lines stating something along the lines of “Extras: found extra - … - matched”, though for the artists that the videos do not show up for there is no mention of extras when refreshing their metadata.

I have also verified that the names of the root folders for the artist in both my music library and the global video folder are the same.

Sorry for the wall of text, but I am at a loss. Hopefully someone can help me figure this one out, thanks in advance!

I’m also having problems with this, did you ever find out a solution? I used to be able to add music videos, but now any new artist I try doesn’t pick them up at all.

I’ve tried all the things you’ve tried also but nothing seems to work.

For the couple of artists that I have been having issues with all along, I have not found a solution. I have added a couple of new artists, and videos show up for them fine. Yeah for those original two though, I am at a complete loss. As of now those are the only two that I have issues with.
