My music library is fully tagged with Genre, artist etc. When browsing by Genre, a list of all Artists with albums in the Genre is displayed. In some genres though, many albums are by “Various Artists”. I just noticed that there is no entry for Various Artists in the list, hence those albums become ‘unreachable’ when browsing by Genre. Is it possible to configure Yatse to display a “Various Artists” entry in the ‘artists’ list when browsing by genre? or is this a bug/missing feature? A typical use case is with the “Children’s” genre where it’s common to have albums by Various Artists. I haven’t noticed this issue before, even if I have been using Yatse for many years. ---

No logs, no details it’s hard to answer 🙂 All depends on your Kodi version and some Yatse filters and the content of your Kodi database. ---

Will capture the logs 🙂 But I thought maybe “Various Artists” is treated in a special way by either Yatse or Kodi and there could be some setting in Yatse to change behavior (is there one?) This is with Kodi 17.6 (OSMC). I haven’t tested with Leia yet. I expect OSMC stable will be upgraded to 18.1/18.2 sometime in the next couple of weeks. ---

You can hide the compilation artists starting with Kodi 17. But as always Yatse displays what Kodi send 🙂 Upload your MyMusicXX.db file and give an exact repro steps. ---

So seems it was a Kodi side issue thanks for the logs, giving the details and linking your Kodi side post 😉 > > > Any artist with a name that matches the current localised string for "Various ar…tists" was being excluded from lists of artists when both song and album artists were being fetched. This was a mistake, left over from original query building when this artist name was used to filter compilations, and there is no reason to exclude it. > > Issue reported by user https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=341496 ---

Indeed! And Dave is just awesome. He is one of the key reasons why Kodi is such a great project. Thanks for following up!
