Description of the bug

If your file does not contain the Album Artist metadata at all, it will not be displayed on Jellyfin even with the manual metadata entry that Jellyfin provides. The Album Artist tag is only read from the file, instead of checking what it's set to in Jellyfin.

Reproduction steps

Import a file that does NOT have Album Artist in its metadata
Set the Album Artist to the artist within Jellyfin
View the Album after refreshing metadata as needed

What is the current bug behavior?

You will see that the album artist you set does not show up.

What is the expected correct behavior?

Album artist shows as what you'd expect.
