The library view "Albums", set up to thumbnail view, groups albums with the same album name (e.g. Greatest Hits) correctly within the standard view.
That means, 3 albums with the same album name by different artists, are shown as 3 thumbnails.
But when using that library view in theater view it shows up only 1 thumbnail. When I select that thumbnail all files of the 3 albums are shown in a list.

Suppose to be a bug or do I have to set up in theater view sth. different then in standard view?

in theater view go to "More" (should be on the top roller bar) then Toggle List Style -- choose the option you want and it will "remember" it as the default

Thanks for the answer!

But toggling the list style does not have any effect. The theater view still does the grouping by the album wrong!

Just a small test case where you can reproduce the wrong grouping behavior:
1) You need just two audio files (I use flac)
2) Tag the audio files as following:
- Audio file 1: artist=test1, title=test1, year=2012, album=Greatest Hits
- Audio file 2: artist=test2, tilte=test2, year=2013, album=Greatest Hits
3) Now have a look within the standard view, you will see two thumbnails (Grouping is correct)
4) Now have a look within the theater view, you will see only one thumbnail (Grouping is wrong)

Somehow is guess this must be a bug...

I use MC19.0.32

ps: I just tested the test case with Gizmo and access via UpnP. Both are wrong too.

Here's an old thread that explains what's going on and why:

I'm not clear on a better solution, which is why it still works like this.  

Feel free to keep discussing in that thread.
