Hi.
When I create a virtual library (view) with an *artists* menu (on the
top level), some artists in that menu have - -in addition to the correct
albums- - *empty albums* listed (= when you click on them, it says
empty).
They shouldn't even be listed in this library view because while they do
contain tracks by these artists, these tracks do not meet the selection
criteria of the library view.
These -empty- albums are all compilation albums.
Here's what I've tried/found out so far:
- It doesn't matter how I create the library view (plugin or advanced
search UI).
- I've erase every(!) trace of LMS on my server and reinstalled
everything from scratch, rescan, redo all the settings... problem is
still there (macOS 10.13.6, latest LMS 7.9 build)
- in the *Settings > My Music* my settings are:
- Browse Artists = use *single*, configurable list
- Composer, Conductor, Band/Orchestra *un*checked
- List compilation albums *under each artist* (switching this to the
alternative settings has no effect regarding the empty album problem)
- Treat TPE2 MP3 Tag as *Album Artist*
- No error message(s) in the server.log
And now here's where it gets interesting/weird: I've installed LMS with
a part of my music files in a virtual machine (macOS 10.12.6). I've
tried to use the exact same settings.
But in the virtual machine there are no empty albums! The problem does
not exist there.
I'm running out of idea on where to look, which setting etc.
Any ideas/suggestions as to what might cause this? (things that I
haven't tired yet)
Thank you.
