They're both using the same code. I think the returned artist is either
random, or depends on the internal ID of the role. It surely doesn't
follow a rule you'd expect...

I'm not 100% sure yet how to fix this correctly. But most likely in the
cases where we only request on artist for a track ("a"), we should be
using the primary_artist. Other than what I thought this seems to be set
correctly during the scan, but is not respected in those queries. I have
a change here which would fix the issue reported. I only hope it doesn't
break other functionality...

On a very related note: are you updating the metadata shown in the
playlist view as soon as a track is being played? I've noticed that when
the list is being loaded, you'd only show the one artist. Then, once a
track is being played, you show artists of all (or some) roles in the NP
screen. At the same time the display in the playlist view would update
to show those artists, too:

17415

Tracks 1, 2, and 4 have been played. They show the track artist as well
as the album artist. 3 and the others haven't been played. They only
show the track artist (5 & 10 have the same value for track and album
artist).
