beckfield 95 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I can't decide if I think this is a problem because it's non-intuitive, or if it's just because it isn't what I'm used to, so I thought I'd put it out for discussion: I have my music separated into two libraries -- one for classical, and one for everything else. Some artists may have albums in both libraries ("Various Artists" is an obvious one, but there are others). What Emby does: when I access the Artist Detail page from within one library, all of the artist's albums from both libraries are listed. What I'm accustomed to - only the albums from the current library are listed. What would you normally expect in this situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37163 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 HI, yes currently this is expected but may change in future updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckfield 95 Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 It looks like "Playlists" are the same way. No matter where you access it from, it shows all playlists from all libraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37163 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 No matter where you access what from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckfield 95 Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 Playlists. I guess that's a bit of a misnomer. There doesn't appear to be any way to access Playlists from within any library. It appears to only exist as a 'global' category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37163 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Sure there is. Have you explored the Playlists tab inside of a library? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckfield 95 Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 (edited) Oops, I was looking at a library that didn't have any playlists when I wrote that. And it looks like I was wrong about the Playlists tab. When accessed within a library, it only shows playlists from that library. So that's good.

beckfield 95 Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 I've gotten around this for Various Artists at least, by changing the album artist in classical VA albums to "Various Classical." This keeps the non-classical VA albums out of my classical library. It's not ideal, and it's still an issue for specific artists that appear in both libraries, but that's relatively rare and not as much a problem as "Various Artists."
