Until a few months ago my music library showed multiple genres using local metadata, but now only shows the first in line. I tag the files using Mp3tag (ID3v2.3) and use \\ as a separator between genres.
For example, Melodic Death Metal\\Death Metal would show as two distinct genres and I could sort and play by either genre. A semicolon does work, but am not interested in retagging almost 2TB of mp3s.
This will be fixed soon.
There was a regression in Plex when they switched to a new tag scanning library (ffmpeg), multivalued tags in id3v2.4 (and mp4/aac) are indeed not picked up anymore.
However, a patch has recently been submitted in ffmpeg that will fix it, so as soon as that’s accepted, it will cascade down to Plex.

Thanks! I didn’t look hard enough before posting myself because I found the “see also” post right after submitting mine.
