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.
