I suspect you need to get Michael (mherger) interested in this to find
out if it’s a bug or not.
However, the first thing I’d suggest is to verify if it works
correctly in latest 8.1 nightly build of LMS because Michael have done a
lot of changes in this code for the music streaming integration and I
can imagine that he don’t want to go back and hunt bugs in this
code in the 7.9 release now when 8.0 is officially released.
Have you identified that it’s only compilation album that behaves
correctly ?
Have you checked the database to ensure the track isn’t part of
the virtual library ?
Have you verified that the problem only exists in artists menu and not
also in albums menu ?
