Hi All
I have just upgraded from an early Gotham to Kodi Beta and just ran into this problem and wanted to share my frustrations in fining this change in functionality.
For at least 3 years I've used XBMC and have had my compilation albums tagged with ALBUMARTIST = "Various Artists" and the setting "Include artists who are only in complications" setting is off
This combination resulted in what I consider the ideal outcome - compilations appeared under a "Various Artists" artist in the library but the artist list wasn't swamped with heaps of artists with 1 or 2 songs listed under them.
As discussed here, the "Various Artists" entry now will not appear
It seems counter-intuitive, to have to back out of artists list and go into compilations to get to part of your music collection (as the only option)
I also see this as being confusing to guests using the system who are not familiar with Kodi
Is there a possibility that the previous functionality can be restored?
Regards
Wazza
