Duplicate Album Artist Issue (Bug Recreated)

[Brendon 119]

I have seen a few people raise this issue and having had it myself and trying to clean up the duplicates i have managed to recreate the bug several times now so thought i'd report it.

So for example i have an artist in my library and they have no actual albums but only appear on mixed releases, lets say 'Arcadia' they have 2 tracks across 2 albums, the tracks are tagged with the artists name but the album artist is 'Various Artists', at this point Emby is happy Arcadia does not show in Album Artists only in Artists as it should.

Now if i go and add an Arcadia album into the library such as 'So The Red Rose' where all tracks and album artist are tagged as 'Arcadia', Emby suddenly spits the dummy and i have Arcadia listed twice in Album Artists, one will show the 'appears on' albums AND their album and the other will show ONLY their album.

I have been able to re-produce this over and over with different artists/albums. The only way i can find to correct the duplicate is to remove all the albums associated with the artist then run a library scan, after it's complete return the artists albums first run a scan again and then return the various artist albums they appear on, and then everything comes together as it should with only one album artist appearing and showing everything they appear on.

If you need more info please let me know.

Just a heads up @Luke this seems to no longer be an issue for me after the last update, guessing the changes to the way music is handled has corrected the problem

If it does reappear i will let you know.
