A Music Tagging Navigation Problem

[user24 197]

When navigating from Album Artist / Artist / Composer detail pages to Tag pages, using the Tags links in the About section near the bottom of the pages, the subsequent Tag pages do NOT show all the relevant tags.

I first found this by trying to associate an Album Artist with a Composer, by using a common tag for the two items. I’ve since tried this with several different item combinations, with various tag names, and still get the same results. Here’s a wider test example, showing the extent of the problem, with every item type I can think of tagged with “Test Tag”.

With Emby 4.8.8.0, when navigating:

• Tags Menu tab>Tag: the relevant Album / Album Artist / Artist / Collection / Composer / Folder / Playlist / Song tagged items are all shown
• Search>Tags>Tag: the relevant Album / Album Artist / Artist / Collection / Composer / Folder / Playlist / Song tagged items are all shown
• Album detail page>Tag: the relevant Album / Album Artist / Artist / Collection / Composer / Folder / Playlist / Song tagged items are all shown
• Song detail page>Tag: the relevant Album / Album Artist / Artist / Collection / Composer / Folder / Playlist / Song tagged items are all shown
• Album Artist detail page>Tag: only the Album Artist / Artist items are shown
• Artist detail page>Tag: only the Album Artist / Artist items are shown
• Composer detail page>Tag: only the Album Artist / Artist items are shown

This first picture shows the expected complete results Tag page.

This second picture shows the limited partial results Tag page.

Digging a bit deeper, it seems that the two views are different pages:

• http://localhost:8096/web/index.html#!/list/list.html?tagId=569744&serverId=437bcbdb674e44df85900dde5a8e73ba
• http://localhost:8096/web/index.html#!/list/list.html?tagId=569744&serverId=437bcbdb674e44df85900dde5a8e73ba&type=MusicArtist

They also have different Sort By, Filters and Settings options available from the Menu.

Hopefully this has been explained well enough. Why are the Tag results pages designed to be different, depending upon the preceding starting page? Is this an error that can be fixed please or perhaps I am doing something wrong with my tagging?

With the limited results navigating, it means that Tags cannot be used effectively to set up quick easy cross-referencing between Album Artists / Artists / Composers. At a minimum, the limited results Tag pages should also include Composers. Thanks!
