I think we have slightly crossed wires. Yes I am talking entirely about what is displayed at Q and Now Playing level. Something I noticed very early in Material is this difference at Album (example) browsing level. This is extract from Albums (R) from Default 32891 This is Material 32892 The display in Material is perfect. It is only displaying the first entered value in AlbumArtist but the 2 other values are still there and are being used for indexing. You have to be aware that the tagging must have the string you want displayed at position 1 but thats all that is necessary. I THOUGHT that Material was calling the data from library and that YOU had coded it to display the first value from a returned array but now I gather that the JSON call is only ever returning value 1 for AlbumArtist. I may have been entirely mistaked in thinking that I ever saw the same treatment in Q and NP for TrackArtist but what this tells us is that the call logic exists to pull only the first value and I am asking can that same logic be applied for display of TrackArtist at Q and Now Playing level on an optional basis (to suit the differing needs of PasTim and I) I think that what we have determined that it is the JSON procedure for calling TrackArtist is different to that for AlbumArtist and is returning the comma separated string and not value 1. Why does my issue arise? It is really only an issue with compilations where the setting is thus 32894 To get my JJ Cale & Eric Clapton track from a compilation to display where I want it I use the same MV tagging principle which works for indexing but not for display in Q and NP. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: 2021-01-08 10_26_21-Window.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=32894| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ VB2.4[/B] STORAGE *QNAP TS419P (NFS) [B]Living Room* Joggler & Pi4/Khadas -> Onkyo TXNR686 -> Celestion F20s *Office* Joggler & Pi3 -> Denon RCD N8 -> Celestion F10s *Dining Room* SB Boom *Kitchen* UE Radio (upgraded to SB Radio) *Bedroom (Bedside)* Pi Zero+DAC ->ToppingTP21 ->AKG Headphones *Bedroom (TV) & Bathroom* SB Touch ->Denon AVR ->Mordaunt Short M10s + Kef ceiling speakers *Guest Room* Joggler > Topping Amp -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes Everything controlled by iPeng & Material on iOS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109624 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
