I know this question have been asked differently many time, but after spending a whole afternoon, I never manage to find a solution. So I'd like to ask my question here to at least know if it is possible or if I should just give up.
This is onlyu for MP3 music file. I don't care about series and movies.
I have a music folder without structure. But over the years, I've added the metadata directly in the files (Right Click --> Properties).
I decided to open a Jellyfin server with this folder. I didn't download metadata from any external sources. When I select this folder, I have no issues with the Artist Title and Genre fields.
But the Albums are giving me headaches. First of all, in the album Tab of the server, it is empty. So absolutely no Album is fetched. HOWEVER, when I open a song to listen to it, I can see the Album!. And second "however", when I click on the album in the Song page, it loads indefinitely and doesn't find anything.
I know the clean way to create a Jellyfin folder is to create folder for all artists and all album under artists, but that's not possible in my case. I really want to use the file metadata as they are. And worst thing is that when I look in the metadata in Jellyfin, the Album is correctly filled! So why doesn't the album filter work?
Is there a way I can fix the albums?
Thank you!
