James 31 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 When selecting Emby libraries > Music - Album Artists and choosing an album artist which will result in an album list which includes both album for the selected artist + what appears to be any albums in which the artist is a composer So artist A will show albums of artist A plus albums of artist B where the artist was a composer Hopefully this is in error and not as intended Thanks, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37112 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Hi there, how does the web app compare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James 31 Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 both the web app and android tv emby app correctly show only the albums from the selected album artist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamB 2354 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 @Luke This might explain the difference: EmbyCon http://localhost:8096 /emby/Users/3138bed521e5465b9be26d2c63be94af/items? ArtistIds=22506& IncludeItemTypes=MusicAlbum& Recursive=true Web Client http://localhost:8096 /emby/Users/3138bed521e5465b9be26d2c63be94af/Items? IncludeItemTypes=MusicAlbum& Recursive=true& AlbumArtistIds=22506 So the difference is filtering on ArtistIds vs AlbumArtistIds Which one is correct, I guess the web client, but why the difference?

James 31 Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 if i had to guess artist=album artist+artist+composer whereas albumartist=albumartsist. As the name of library is album artist i would say album artist is correct. in the emby android tv client there are multiple views. album artist, artist, genre etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one returns all albums in which the given artist may appear on any track. The second one returns only albums in which they are listed as an album artist. So a good example to see the difference is a movie soundtrack, where each track may have different artists listed, but the albumartist is Various Artists.
