I've checked the database ("MyMusic72.db") and found something strange: I have MBID's as "strArtist" in in table "album_artist".
I didn't see anything displayed wrong (like in https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=333668). For me everything looks good.
However, it might be good to take a look on it (if something goes wrong) and also I'm interested why there are MBID's as artist name in this table.
Most records have a correct, real artist name. Only a few records have the MBID. The MBID's are correct and exists as artist in MusicBrainz.
I found out that all these albums are multiple-artist releases and are .ma4 files and the MBID's are just for further artists, i.e. "iOrder" > 0.
It's also strange for me that some of these records have as first "strArtist" (iOrder = 0) only the first artist name and some have the full "credited as" value (i.e. all release-artists, incl. the join phrase).
I know the tag "albumartists" (with 's') and I also have a script to set this tag. I didn't have it since the beginning but I made my script a few months ago.
Picard do not add the tag "albumartists" for .ma4-Files. It's also not possible to set it manually for .ma4 (but it might be done with other tools, like Mp3tag).
BTW: What is ths sense of "album_artist"."strArtist"? Where will this field be used?
In "albumview" the "strArtists" is correct and I think this might be the value used for display.
