Hey.

Short version:
When I create an *artists* menu using -Additional Browse Modes- it will
show me false positives on the second level down (albums for artists).
How do I get rid of them?

Check it out:

Take a library with 3 music files by 2 artists:

artist A -> regular album A -> song1 (rated *4* stars)
artist A -> -compilation- album B -> song2 (*un*rated)
artist B -> -compilation- album B -> song3 (rated *5* stars)

1. Create a -library view- using -Advanced search- for all tracks rated
> 2 (stars). Save as "Rated". Contents = song1 & song3.
2. Create an -artists- menu using -Additional Browse Modes- for this
library view.
3. In this new artist menu click on artist *A*.

What you *should* get for artist *A*:
artist A -> regular album A -> song1

But what you actually get is:
artist A -> regular album A -> song1
artist A -> *compilation album B -> song2*

The compilation album with the *un*rated song2 shouldn't be there, no?
(because it's unrated and not featured in the library view)

- I can play around with the compilation settings, artists list or
contributor filter in -settings -> my music- all I want I never get the
desired result.
- Tracks of compilation album B are tagged album artist = Various
Artists and compilation flag = 1. However, LMS assign contributor role
"Artist" to all tracks on the compilation and not TRACKARTIST. If that
matters.

How do I fix this? Is this a limitation of additional browse modes? Or
is there a workaround of some sort?

I'd really like get rid of these empty false positives so I can offer
such menus in my plugin.

Thank you for your help.
