JRemote album view, same title, different artist
« on: November 26, 2014, 09:44:41 am »

Hi, I couldnt find a thread on this already.

In album view on jremote, if an album title is shared by more than one artist, then these are collapsed into a single title.
e.g. "live in berlin" by depeche mode and same title by sting (quite different music!) appears combined. So if I click on the album cover, it shows "multiple album, multiple artists" (so it does know) then lists disc by disc. The implication is that this would play all together as a single album, so depeche would seque into sting.

Would it be possible to split with different artists in the main album view? so "live in berlin" by DM appears separately to "live in berlin" by sting.
I've got round this by renaming the albums to add the artist name, just wondered if either my settings are not correct, or it's supposed to work like that (genuine "various artists" albums for example???), or something else.

thanks, Robert

Retag the album titles so that there is a subtle, but distinct, difference between the two and the issue will be resolved.

That is my workaround, just asking if there needs to be a fix/change to not combine same title albums, or does this impact various artists albums?
