album view does not work properly, because if you have various artists on an album (most cases) then it shows them as “various artists” instead of the album name. folder view would be the best option and I guess it has been asked before. is it too hard to implement?
You can put what you like into the AlbumArtist meta tag, if you don’t like it to appear under VA.
You could use the game title or the game developer or the game ‘universe’ (if you have several albums which fit into there)
The AlbumTitle tag has to be the same in all tracks for one album of course.
And putting each album into an own folder doesn’t hurt as well.
If you put the ‘Local Media Assets’ into topmost position under
Settings - Server - Agents - Albums - last.fm
then Plex will primarily use your embedded meta tags instead of the (sometimes faulty) information from last.fm. Then this ‘Various Artist’ issue doesn’t exist.
Each track can have a different ‘TrackArtist’ btw. So if you have some tracks which are produced by a more famous Artist, its name will appear in the album view.
I whipped up an improvised soundtrack library.
I created an AlbumArtist ‘Ghost in the Shell’ because that is what I already had for soundtrack music.
You can see here, that there are individually named TrackArtists
