Hi Dave and everyone else,
So in the usual attempt to ever improve my music library in Kodi V17 and decided to re-build from the start, Dave don’t have how long it took as I just kept scanning day after day and never left it on as I find in Win10 with 17 that if you leave it on and come back to it it has either hung or is effectively broken in drawing the UI, so I just built when using Kodi.
After building it I still have over 12k artists from over 4k CDs and thought that V17 would be built better, but then I remembered this switch has changed in name and purpose from V16 so went and switched if off and know down to 1-2k artists which is perfect and what I want, so album artists only.
But it seems to have a secondary impact on the music library and it may possible be a bug, If I browse these artists and then select on to see their albums then I am only presented with their albums where they are album artist, not all albums? Personally I think this is incorrect, it is correct to change ‘Artists’ node to only display album artists, but once in Ablums shouldn’t it display all the albums relevant to the artist regardless if album artist or artists on a compiliation?
For instance artist BT, I have 49 albums shown with switch active and 120 albums shown with switch in-active whereas I would have thought it should show all 120 regardless of the switch unless the switch is Kodi in General and not just ‘artists’ node?
Is there any workaround to get All albums @ album level when switch is active in V17? With the switch active I basically lose access to compilations via any specific artist and guess I can only access these albums from ‘Various Artists’ or whatever album artist is assigned to them?
Thanks,
Mike.
