Plex Provider can't determine the type of release (album/single/ep) resulting duplicate

Hi All,

It seems that the Plex provider can't determine the release type of an album. See below:

Plex:

Let me know if there are anything I need to provide.

I think you are talking about the same thing as this person https://github.com/music-assistant/hass-music-assistant/issues/2830

@OzGav in this artist it is the Single and EP that doesn't have result and tagged as unknown type. In other artists, it's mixed, some of the types are tagged correctly but some are tagged as unknown as well.

I am now switching to local system and see if I'll be getting the same results.

@OzGav so it turns out that it is Plex doing that weird issue that we have. You can see that the same artist above is now being tagged and merged with the other provider. So yeah it's an issue with Plex Provider.

We are doing minimal work on the Plex provider due to the lack of dev support. If the local filesystem provider is working well you are advised to use that. This issue will remain open for the time being.

edit: Actually this isn't an issue yet. If you are happy we can let this slide for now.

Yes. Understandable. Thanks for entertaining my post @OzGav ! Cheers!
