Read separate multiple genre tags for music
#16
Use a tagging app that actually uses the features of ID3v2.4, rather than forcing it all into a single string with some arbitrary separator.
Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.

Sorry for the bump, but I was trying to solve the same issue, and I can help the guy below:

Use the "last.fm.Plus" plugin instead of the regular last.fm one. In the plugin settings, it lets you choose the separator, or you can leave it blank to use separate tags for each genre.

Still does not work with this, even after re-scan:

Code:
<advancedsettings>
<musiclibrary>
    <itemseparator>; </itemseparator>
</musiclibrary>
</advancedsettings>

My files' tags are separated by "; ", not as Kodi shows them without a space.

Or am I doing it wrong?

Do you have a space either side of the separator? So for example:

Rock ; Alternative Rock

No, they are separated like this:

Rock; Alternative Rock

I think that is wrong, when I last tried this the default / separator needed a space either side to work.

Got it working. Foobar writes ID3v2.4 for untagged files only, not for ones already tagged with v2.3. I thought it would. So I had to overwrite all my non-ID3v2.4 tags and let Kodi re-scan and now it works.
They are still seperated like "Rock; Alternative Rock".

Thank you for the help jjd-uk!

ID3v2.4 also supports multiple genre tags instead of one tag with a bunch of separators. That way you don't have to worry about the separator at all.

Thanks for reporting back, good to know it does work with the separators like that.
