Hi Guys,
In my library setup i have not checked 'include artists that only appear on various artists albums' so when i list my artists in the default skin all of the VA albums are grouped under 'Various' (well.. to be honest they are not all there, but they are not scattered through my artists list either so its all good), however when i request all artists (unsorted) via JSON-RPC i get a list of artists 10 times longer than it should be because it is listing all artists, including those appearing only on VA albums.
Has this been discussed? Ideally the complete artist list should have a single entry for 'Various' and when you request albums with the artistid associated with this entry it should return all 'Various Artists' albums.
