I have a quick question.
My recollection from past versions (Kodi 17 I think) is that when applying the album artist view in the music library (or in system/music library settings selecting showing album artist only), albums shown under the album artist also contained albums with the underlying songs from that album artist where the album itself was not of that specific album artist: So as an example, I have Adele as album artist, under album artist I then I see the albums where Adele is the album artist, but in the same view I also see Albums (and the specific underlying songs) where Adele is the artist but the album artist is a different one (e.g. various artists).
I can't replicate this in Kodi 18-19 anymore. I either only see albums that belong to that album artist, or (what I don't want) the artist view where the number of artists explodes because the criterium is artist in stead of album artist.
So, has the described functionality disappeared in Kodi 18 onwards or am I missing something in applying the right settings? (In general I use MusicBrainz picard for tagging, with the albumartists field added to MusicBrainz standard tags.
