Issue with Genres and Multiple Libraries - IoTStudent - 2024-12-31
I'm new to Jellyfin, but I'm having a blast setting it up and using it! Congratulations and thanks to all of the developers.
I seem to have a strange problem with genres when there are multiple music libraries. I have two libraries that I've created, one for CDs and the other for records. When I list the albums in either of the two libraries, only the albums in that library show up, but when I go to genres, there are some albums from the other libraries (that are the same genre). It's not consistent however, only some of the albums (based on genre) from the "Albums" library show up in the "CDs" library and vice versa.
I've rebuilt the metadata from MusicBranz and deleted and recreated the libraries, but the problem seems to be remain. I thought it might be that calling the records library "Albums" might be the problem, but when I deleted and created the library using the name to "Records" there wasn't any changes.
Here's the list of the Albums library
list for the CDs library
and the genre list (it's the same regardless of which library is selected).
Thanks for taking a look.

I believe this is the same issue as this github ticket.

I read through the posts, and the problem does look similar (genres instead of artists). I'm not sure what the resolution is? Is this a bug that needs to be addressed or is it as intended and I'll need to put all the music in one library?

IIRC, I believe this is an issue with how Jellyfin's database currently works. There is a big database refactor being worked on that may be released with 10.11. No guarantees, obviously. But I believe the database refactor needs to happen to resolve this issue.

Thanks for the info. I'll keep a watch out for the 10.11 release with the refactor.
