[Bug] audiobook not listed in newest after update #3817

If I put a .mp3 in the audiodirectory it will be listed as newest audiobook. After adding an .lrc file, the audiofile will not be listed as newest anymore.

HI, I cannot reproduce this. Are you still having an issue with this? Have you checked the date added value of the audiobook in the metadata editor?

Ed1ks commented 4 months ago

Yes, I have checked the date added value. Its the same before and after it vanishes.

See, its not in newest category

but BEFORE putting an .lrc in the same directory, the audio IS shown in this category.

LukePulverenti commented 4 months ago

Can you please show the complete screenshots rather than cutouts? Thanks.

Ed1ks commented 4 months ago

Sure:

LukePulverenti commented 4 months ago

Did you check the date added value of all the other ones showing up in latest? Maybe they have newer dates.

Ed1ks commented 4 months ago

Yes I have checked, and I can confirm that the newest doesnt show up.

The "Date Added" sorted table in Media library -> Folders, shows me the vanished on top - with the most recent date.

@LukePulverenti After further investigation I could find how to reproduce the bug. It seems that not the .lrc file makes emby not recognizing, but the Artist / Album Artist. My flow is the following:

add mp3 file
audio file gets recognized and show in emby
I add metadata inside of the file (not in emby, but into the file directly)
I add the .lrc file
Emby recognize the .lrc file and updates the file (reload)
As now Artist and Album Artist are included in file, the new audio file is not shown.

I tested by adding the audiobook without any .lrc and added metadata one by one before adding it to media directory. After adding Artist and Album Artist and uploading the file, emby show the file in "Folders", but not in the latest Audio Books category:

I would appreciate a bug fix

It seems, that he puts the new audio into an Album, which was created before the audio. Thats why it doesnt show the single audiobook-file in "latest audio Book". I isnt correct how it works. Better would be cheching single audio files rather than the album. Or an Option to choose.

I thought Emby would be an good option for a group of people listinenig to audiobooks. But Emby seems to have a lot of bugs making it user unfriendly.
