Album Artist List

[Kyrielight]

A large amount of Album Artists are missing when the "Only Album Artists" selection is selected.

This should be on the client side, The plugin actually sends all the artists and the filtering is done on the application. I will have a look though. The query though should show only the artist entries that appear in the album artist tag.

I believe it might have to do with having multiple album artists tagged to a song/album. I was looking through my library and noticed a lot of albums where more than one album artist existed were not shown on the remote application.

@reverie-lu So if I understand it correctly, half the tracks have one album artist, and the other half have another?

I'm not sure about the specifics. I mass-edited albums by adding a second album artist to every track in the album, (using the ; to specify multiple album artists, which MusicBee accepts as multiple AAs). These albums' album artist do not show up in the Artist list in the remote.

There is one exception, I believe, which is that if any albums only have one album artist listed, that album artist WILL appear in the list, but only the albums that have only that album artist listed show up in the list. (Meaning, if I had an album artist MC, and an album X1 that only had MC as its album artist and an album X2 that had MC and another album artist in its tags, MC will show up in the album artist only view, but only X1 will appear when MC is selected.)

@reverie-lu Thanks that's enough information. This should help me replicate the exact problem
