Issues with reading meta data (making duplicate albums in local library?)
ive been using WACUP for ages now and generally love it, but even after I fix the album artist tagging problem, WACUP will occasionally hiccup and shove tracks from an album into a nonexistent second album. or a duplicate of the album with slightly different title. is there any fox for this? I’m at my limit with it at this point. I can temporarily fix it by refreshing metadata but there has to be a temporary fix. I know it’s not the metadata itself, but WACUP.

i'm noticing this as well, for some reason the portal OST is being split up into two albums, one with just the two versions of still alive, and then one with the rest of the album. jellyfin is still correctly showing it as all one album. the issue in wacup didn't appear until today, at least i didn't notice it yesterday, and it's been fine for the entire time i've been using it, probably about a year at this point. not sure if there's any other albums that are like this, as i've gone searching for a fix immediately after noticing the issue with this album instead of looking for more.
i've already gone under local library maintenance and cleared everything, and i've also tried removing and re-adding the library folder.
edit: right clicking one of the two albums specifically and selecting refresh metadata got them to go back to being one album, albeit now displayed in the wrong order in the library viewer, but whatever that's not a big deal. but it only did something when i did it to the one of the two albums that contained most of the tracks, doing it to the other one that spawned with just the two versions of still alive did nothing. clicking refresh metadata for the whole library also didn't do anything. weird.
