I think it possibly has do with with GUIInfo changes and/or updates to FFMPEG. For some reason mp3 codec INFOlabel returns mp3float instead of just mp3. Perhaps he can fix but I really do not think his changes had anything to do with it based on me following the commits pushed to the xbmc GitHub page.No, this will be concerning a totally seperate issue. I have an artist in my library, for whom only the MBID is shown in the "Artists" view. I know the files are tagged properly, so I'm placing my money on it being the length of the artist name being the problem.

The artist(s) in question being: "Deep Purple with the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Paul Mann". I can't do anything about the length, as that's how it's listed on MusicBrainz. Since it's so long, i'm pretty sure it's maxing out the string length in Kodi, hence the reason why only the MBID is shown.

Rather than mess up this thread talking about tagging and multiple album artists etc. I'm going to try and copy to a new thread in music support. See you there @gibxxi
Here we are https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=333668 (with a little help from my mod friend)

I decided since the same issues existed in the Leia version too, I'd have a stab at highlighting the ones that I'd personally seen, no matter how big or small. Obviously, if I don't use a particular feature, I won't be reporting issues about it, but thanks for your praise anyway. It's posts like yours, that make belonging to this community of ours, worthwhile for me. Keep the faith!
What an absolute gem of a detailed post... its been many a months since I changed to Aeon Nox Silvo for many of these reasons.. and some I reported wayy back which unfortunately no one was ready to listen / tackle.. its a shame as still some of these mods are even missing fromSilvo's own mod.
) but I do not have anything to hide so I will just explain things here and now. I am married to a wife that I probably (definitely) do not deserve and over the years I have mentioned and discussed things with her. She chose to create an account to be the "Bad Guy" and say the things that I would not say to others but "may have" bitched about in our private conversations. Sometimes (often ) I have interjected to have my say in what I normally would not have but the words chosen have (more often than not) been her own. Obviously that is not 100% accurate cause I use two browsers on our PC and on occasion have accidentally used that account more than once in the past. I usually edited those post to a "..." and then posted the same message under my own account. Anyone who needs to can feel free to check it out themselves. I may be an ass but I do consider myself to be an honest one. That's really all I have to say about that other than I sincerely apologize if my response puts you in any kind of awkward position 
as that is/was never my intent.
