#Genres Not Automatically Assigned

Only a tiny fraction of my Music Assistant library has been mapped to genres, and it's not clear to me how I get my server to assign genres to the rest of my library. What do I need to do to get my server to assign genres to the whole library?

Hi, sorry I missed this.
What is your setup in terms of music providers?

I'm primarily using Plex, and then the other one I use is Bandcamp

So bandcamp seemingly does not add any genre to media item metadata, Plex will only add genres to metadata if you have genres set up in Plex itself.
I would have thought you would be getting some genres synched in from musicbrainz, but unless your metadata fields have genres, there is nothing we can synch from really.

I have genres set up in Plex itself and the few things that actually have genres assigned in Music Assistant are from my Plex server

Sorry for the ping @rancid ember but not sure if you saw my response

I saw your last response, I just didn't know what to suggest, and then the weekend arrived.
Sorry I didn't respond before.

No worries! Just wasn’t sure if you had seen it

In the genre management page of the settings, how many genres do you see listed? Are there already some none default ones there?

gusty hearth
#

These are all the genres I have listed

Strange. Have you tried the restore all genres button?

#

This also triggers another scan to reassign everything.

I was just thinking that might be my next move. Let me try that.
