I have two Plex servers. One is on a Nvidia Shield and the other is on a local PC. I have several albums on each that have various artists.
They are tagged correctly with the correct artist and for album artist is says various artist. This works pretty well but I would have expected on Plex when I go to “artists” it would have a listing of all the artists including the ones found on various artists albums. But it only includes the artists that are listed as the album artists.
Is this a setting? Not even sure if I want to use it yet as it might get messy.
You have found a major flaw in Plex’s music handling.
Unfortunately there is currently no way around it.
Plex’s music handling is centered around Album Artists and Albums.
(Your Album Artist in these cases is “Various Artists”)
Track Artist may get shown on some clients, but you cannot do much with them. Partcularly you cannot show all tracks by a particular Track Artist.
