This is great news actually! Thanks Dave for the fast response. The important part is knowing that there is a json rework coming that will also eventually make the bug vanish.

I am guessing that v18 is a year away. In the interim I would be glad to volunteer testing time and effort whenever there is a branch that I can build. I have a Kodi install just for Music and can cover a broad set of music-centric use cases, library-related and playback (HD-audio) related. Please post somewhere around this sub-forum once there is a branch that needs testing and exposure.
