I believe the content of the albums level is implemented in
https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/blob/public/8.1/Slim/Control/Queries.pm
in the albumsQuery function if you like to dig into the code yourself.
There are a number of settings in LMS Settings/My Music that controls
which contributor roles that are shown in artists menu and I suspect
some of these might affect the albums level also. To be able to
reproduce the issue I suspect it would help to know the settings under
the captions Composer, Band and Orchestra in Artists, Compilations,
Filter genres at the album & track level.. It would probably also help
Michael if he wants to look into this to get a dump of the relevant
database tables (albums, tracks, contributors, contributor_track,
contributor_album).
I suspect your issue isnt related to virtual libraries at all its just
that its very unusual when you have a full library so nobody might have
noticed it before. Its probably possible to reproduce in standard
Genres menu with the right tagging to cause the same scenario. Basically
selecting a genre and artist and it will probably list all albums that
have a matching combination but result in empty track level for some of
the albums. However, the description of the Filter genres at the album
& track level. setting kind of indicate that there is something
implemented to support genres so maybe code for this is just missing for
virtual library. Or possibly this setting can be changed to give you
what you want also for virtual libraries.
Sorry Im not able to help troubleshooting more but Im currently only
able to look at this via an iPad so its hard to do much more than give
people ideas.
