WAV - A bug or just not supported? - 34626 - 2023-08-23 I have ripped my music im .WAV fileformat to keep it as original as possible and using Finamp, so if i or my users dont want to use WAV, they can set bitrate levels of the playback and my Jellyfin server will transcode to the wanted bitrate level. But there seem to be a bug or missing support for .WAV, in Jellyfin web and app i can choose artist and search,and find artists, but in Finamp it cant handle the artists, but a bigger issue is lack of meta data for the music.. Jellyfin only seems to be getting automatically meta for very few albums.. Im just wondering, if this is due to missing codec support or a bug in how Jellyfin thrat .WAV file format. RE: WAV - A bug or just not supported? - bitmap - 2023-08-23 Highly recommend using a service to grab metadata and organize your music before throwing it into Jellyfin. Picard (or I guess MusicBrainz Picard?) is something that can help group/organize and fetch + write metadata for music. One thing about Jellyfin is that if you feed in garbage, it's gonna serve you garbage. The lack of metadata is because you haven't provided any and without any context, Jellyfin isn't going to fetch something. You've handed it a file without any indication of what the file contains and it's serving that file in the exact same manner.

I follow this guide: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/music/ I found out that what has meta is .MP3 and what dosent is .WAV RE: WAV - A bug or just not supported? - TheDreadPirate - 2023-08-24 (2023-08-24, 07:55 PM)34626 Wrote: I found out that what has meta is .MP3 and what dosent is .WAV That's a massive oversimplification. Lots of other formats have metadata. ogg, opus, flac, aac, etc. If you want to stay lossless, use flac. Everything plays it natively these days. |
