Non-english metadata - winterhymnal11 - 2023-06-20
Please take a look in the screenshot. You can see that the characters are not coming out correctly. However, they do display correctly in the path. Can someone give me a direction on how to fix this issue or edit them quickly? There are too many to do one by one.
Thank you!

What metadata Provider did you use to identify this audio?
RE: Non-english metadata - winterhymnal11 - 2023-06-22
Initially, I imported the music files into the location and scanned the library with Musicbrainz and TheAudioDB. Then I deleted the files, and re-scanned the library with one and then repeated with the other. I deleted the files and re-scanned again with both metadata off. All options yielded the same result. When I search the metadata database manually in "identify", the correct metadata does show up.

Well i have some issues copying the name of the album, could you check on Home | TheAudioDB.com if the data is actually there and correctly formatted? I assume this might be an issue with the charset the albums data and it does not like them.

Ok, I see that not all the albums are available. I see on MusicBrainz, most albums are available: Владимир Высоцкий. Is there a way to ignore the metadata and just take the information from the file names? Because that is all I want. I don't care if they are not "synced" to a metadata database.

Sure just disable the metadata Downloaders in your library
RE: Non-english metadata - winterhymnal11 - 2023-06-22
Unfortunately, that's not working either. Here are the steps I've taken:
1. Deleted the audio files from the library
2. Re-scanned the library (no longer in Jellyfin)
3. Deleted the metadata files from var/lib/jellyfin/metadata
4. Un-checked/disabled all metadata providers from my music library (see screenshots)
5. Copied files back into library
6. Re-scan
7. Metadata is still not from the filenames

Oh no, metadata is not pulled from the filename but from the embedded fields of the media file.
RE: Non-english metadata - winterhymnal11 - 2023-06-22
Ok I understand now. I ended up fixing the metadata tags using a python script. Works like a charm now!
Code:
import eyed3
from pathlib import Path
from glob import glob
directory = "./music/Высоцкий Владимир"
results = glob(directory + '/**/*.mp3',recursive = True)
for path in results:
print("\n", path)
album = Path(path).parts[2]
title = Path(path).parts[3]
audiofile = eyed3.load(path)
audiofile.tag.album = album
audiofile.tag.title = title
audiofile.tag.artist = "Владимир Высоцкий"
audiofile.tag.save(encoding="utf-8")
