I’ve been down some rabbit holes in the forums and am still having issues with getting my music library to render with the proper metadata. From what I’ve read, music libraries are still pretty inconsistent and unstable in terms of completing metadata population (unlike movies, tv shows).
For context, I have a pretty large but very well curated music library (proper folder structure, track naming, proper embedded tags, and album art).
The issue I’m having is that 1) Artist bio and any related content is not getting pulled down from Musicbrainz. The Musicbrainz ID is in there in the metadata but no other content. 2) Only about 5% of Artist images (not album) is getting populated.
After doing some research, I’m about to go in and build out .nfo files for every artist as it seems this is the only way to make this work. But I am surprised as to what is NOT pulled in from jellyfin’s built-in metadata fetcher.
Am I missing anything? Is this consistent with others?
Thanks!
