Remove recap from album? - bhenstra - 2023-11-05

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to remove the recap from the album details? Please see the attached screenshot. I did mark the details I mean with the vertical red line.

I did look into meta data and other options. But I couldn't find a way to filter out or remove the details.

Thank you.

"Edit Metadata" for that album. Is it in the "Overview" field?

The screenshot is showing the artist list not the overview

The easiest way is to use a music tagging program like Mp3tag & change "album artists (not artists)" to "Various Artists". You can do it with Jellyfin by editing the metadata for each song but that takes some time & will not actually be written to the files which is preferred.

Thank you. I didn't know it was called 'artist list'. I'm also not a native speaker of English... and find ways to express what I mean in the most clumsy ways.

Thank you. This did solve the problem.

These are the steps I followed to change the tag of all the MP3 files (steps 4 - 7):

SSH into my True NAS VM
Navigate to the folder that contains the MP3s with the cd command
Change file mode bits:

Code:
# chmod 666 *mp3
SSH into my Jellyfin VM
Install "Mutagen"

Code:
# apt install python3-mutagen
Navigate to the folder that contains the MP3s with the cd command
Change tag of MP3 files:

Code:
# mid3v2 --TPE2 "Various Artist" *.mp3
Navigate to "Dashboard" in the Jellyfin WebUI
Navigate to "Libraries"
Click "Scan All Libraries"

Please see the screenshot for the result :-)

I encountered a similar problem with an album containing FLAC files. To address it, I utilized the 'metaflac' tool to configure the ALBUMARTIST.

Here are the steps.

Install the package 'flac':

Code:
apt update

apt install flac

Remove the tag

Code:
metaflac --remove-tag=ALBUMARTIST *.flac

Set the tag

Code:
metaflac --set-tag=ALBUMARTIST="Various Aristst" *.flac

Tip: to view tags, use the --show-all-tags option.
