Other than this, I assume the library identity the Playlist Generator
SQL points to is still correct so that haven't changed for some reason
?

Does recent ratings also show up properly in TrackStat interface ?

Have you tried to click the "Refresh libraries" link in the bottom of
the "Extras/Multi Library" menu in LMS web interface ? If the library
for some reason isn't correct refreshing it could help.

If you proceed with the below first make sure you have a backup of
TrackStat data and preferably also of the library.db and perist.db files
in the LMS cache directory, you need to shutdown LMS before you take a
copy of library.db and persist.db files. The reason for the backup is
just because I recently had another user where Database Query plugin
just hanged and caused corrupt databases when LMS was shutdown abruptly
during the process, but he was using LMS on a NAS so I don't think you
will have the same problem.

After this, install the "Database Query" plugin and run its "TrackStat
Inconsistency/Problems" report and see if it reports something, if you
have a large library it's likely going to take some time and the system
will be unusable while it runs, in my small 3500 tracks llbrary it can
take 1-2 minutes.
Specifically, if you have musicbrainz identities and the "Duplicate
entries in TrackStat statistics" report item reports something this
might be the problem. Musicbrainz introduced a change some time ago
where their identities no longer is unique if you have the same track on
both a compilation album and a normal album. This could maybe give the
effect you describe, but then the "Duplicate entries in TrackStat
statistics" record in the report should report a lot of tracks. However,
I think this would also cause issues in the TrackStat view, so the fact
that that doesn't happen indicates that the problem might be something
else.
