Audio Book Naming
The recommended folder structure for audio books is Author\Book Name\Chapter
\AudioBooks
\Author
\Book Name
1- Chapter 1.mp3
2- Chapter 2.mp3
This is not a requirement and other structures will also work, but this is the most common method. Some other examples of supported structures are Book Name\Chapter:
\AudioBooks
\Book Name
1- Chapter 1.mp3
2- Chapter 2.mp3
Or even a flat library of chapter files:
\AudioBooks
1- Book Name - Chapter 1.mp3
2- Book Name - Chapter 2.mp3
Track/Chapter numbers are retrieved using embedded ID3 tag information if present.
You can store you media in the following format for convenience but Emby will not pick up the "disk #". In order to use this folder structure you will need to use an external tag editor such as MP3Tag. Using MP3Tag you would highlight all files in each folder and assign a single tag for the disc # and save. Emby will then read the tag and show as well as sort your audio chapters by disc.
\AudioBooks
\Author
\Book Name
\Disc 1
1- Chapter 1.mp3
2- Chapter 2.mp3
\Disc 2
1- Chapter 1.mp3
2- Chapter 2.mp3
Images are supported in both artist and album folders, as well as images embedded within audio files. Below is a table of the supported image file names:
Supported image extensions are jpg, jpeg, png and tbn.
Several image types support multiple file names. They are listed in the order that they're checked for.
Image Type | Supported file names |
---|---|
Primary | folder.ext |
poster.ext | |
cover.ext | |
default.ext | |
Art | clearart.ext |
Backdrop | backdrop.ext, backdropX.ext |
fanart.ext, fanart-X.ext | |
background.ext, background-X.ext | |
art.ext, art-X.ext | |
extrafanart (subfolder)/fanartX.ext | |
Banner | banner.ext |
Disc | disc.ext |
cdart.ext | |
Logo | logo.ext |
Thumb | thumb.ext |
landscape.ext |
For backdrops, X represents a number, and you can have any amount of numbered backdrops. For example:
\Music
\Author Name
backdrop.ext
backdrop1.ext
backdrop2.ext
backdrop3.ext
To add audio books, setup a library with the type "Audio Books". The naming conventions for audio books are very similar to music.
To identify the artists and books of music videos, use the metadata manager. Simply edit a music video:
Then enter the artist(s) and/or album:
Once complete, the artist and album pages will display links to the music videos.
