I've upgraded to XBMC 13. I have rescanned my music collection using the nfo scraper for album information and the universal artist scraper for artist information. All of my compilation albums (flac) include these tags:
ENSEMBLE=Various Artists
ALBUMARTIST=Various Artists
ALBUM ARTIST=Various Artists
COMPILATION_ARTIST=Various Artists
I probably don't need all 4 of them any more but they've all been included for various reasons over the years. Until XBMC 13, I could get to my compilation albums by scrolling down the artists to "Various Artists". They're not there any more. I can get to them if I go to the top of the artists screen, click on the two dots and then select "Compilations" where they appear as normal. Is there any way to get them back among the artists? Is "Various Artists" a special term that I should avoid in my tags, ie would XBMC's behaviour change if I coded "Various" instead of "Various Artists"? It's not a massive pain for me to do that.
