Hi
Interestingly some compilations are showing correctly? Thanks in advance.

Be aware that your guide in the link above does not mention that you must re index the music library in order for the changes to take effect.
depending on how you use your NAS you may also have to re index your media server library on your NAS.
it also makes no mention of the impact on “artist lists” if you do proceed with the various artists tag change. I.e. that the artists within the compilation albums will no longer appear in the artist list. They also disappear from search on the pc version of the app.
Thank you for the info, I’m pretty sure I had re indexed both the nas and app, anyway I’ll try it again.
I guess as the meta data (various artists) was already in the album artist field from when it was viewing correctly I don’t see how it should change. Anyway I’ll try this again.
