Hello,
I am trying to configure my Volumio installation to use only the metadata embedded in my local music files for library indexing and browsing categories (Artist, Album Artist, Genre, etc.).
I noticed that some albums are showing artists that are not present in the file metadata. For example:
File:
(...)as/Trolls/11. September.mp3
The embedded metadata is:
Album: Trolls
Artist: Filmes & Temas
Album Artist: Filmes & Temas
Genre: Soundtrack
Title: September
Track: 11/13
Year: 2016
Publisher: RCA
I verified the tags using both ffprobe and exiftool:
ffprobe -show_entries format_tags
and:
exiftool "11. September.mp3"
Both confirm that the artist information inside the file is:
Artist: Filmes & Temas
Band: Filmes & Temas
However, in the Volumio interface this album is being displayed with artists:
Justin Timberlake
Anna Kendrick
These artists are not present anywhere in the local file metadata.
My MPD configuration seems to be using the local library:
/var/lib/mpd/music/NAS -> /mnt/NAS
The NAS mount is:
/mnt/NAS/Music
MPD itself appears to only see the local files:
mpc ls
NAS
INTERNAL
and after rebuilding:
sudo systemctl restart mpd
mpc update
the issue remains.
I also checked the MPD database/cache:
/var/lib/mpd/tag_cache
and I do not see evidence that MPD is downloading artist information.
My question:
Does Volumio perform an external metadata lookup/enrichment after reading the local MP3 tags?
If yes:
- Which service/provider is responsible?
- Is there a configuration option to disable it?
- How can I force Volumio to use only embedded metadata from the files?
I would like the library categories to be generated exclusively from the tags stored in my files, without any online correction or enrichment.
System information:
- Volumio version:4.119
- Hardware: Raspberry Pi 3B+
- Music source: SMB/NAS share
- Files: MP3 with ID3 tags (mp3tags edited)
- MPD database rebuilt after changes
May some one help me?
Thank you.
