Hi there,

I'm struggeling with the multi-valued tags 'artist' in combination with 'genre'.
Apparently KODI reads both tags differently even when the seperator is the same in both tags.

I'm using MediaMonkey to add tag information to my music files.
Mediamonkey has a default "; " as seperator.

For example I tagged a song with
artist: Roger Waters; David Gilmour
genre: Rock; Prog Rock

I found that in advancedsettings.xml I can tell KODI what the seperator is.
Scenario 1:
<itemseparator>; </itemseparator>
This setting results in the KODI music library in:
artist: Roger Waters/David Gilmour   (a single valued tag)
genre: Rock   and     genre: Prog Rock (a multi-valued tag)

This '/' within the artist tag information in the KODI library is a strange result.
Where does this '/' come from? So then I tried scenario  2.

Scenario 2:
<itemseparator>/</itemseparator>
This setting results in the KODI music library as follows:
artist: Roger Waters  and artist: David Gilmour     (a multi-valued tag)  
genre: Rock; Prog Rock   (a single valued tag)

In this scenario the seperator setting works perfectly for the artist(s) but fails for the genre.

The problem with this is that I cann't get both multi-tagged tags operational within the KODI Music Library.
How can I fix this?

Thanks in Advance for any insights!

PS. When I read the tags in other software I get this:
MP3tag: artist Roger Waters/David Gilmour     genre: Rock; Prog Rock  (Same interpretation as KODI)
File properties Windows Explorer (Details): artist: Roger Waters; David Gilmour    genre: Rock; Prog Rock (Same content as MediaMonkey)
