Plex Amp - Tagging issue Various Artists and Track Artist

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files

Hi I am running the latest PMS version and when using plexamp, i noticed today when i am within a compilation if i select Go to Artist - it takes me to Various Artists rather than the track artist. If i go to the track Info on my Plex Web i can see the artist correctly filled in the Artist tag but the Album Artist is Various Artists.

Various Artists in my case applies to hundreds of compilations. This upsets the Sonic Adventure and i am guessing other functions as well.

How do i fix this easily?

There is no fix.
Track artists are not considered true artists, worthy of their own page.
Only Album Artist get that honor. And the AlbumArtist of most compilations is Various Artists.

Thanks for the super prompt reply but i have to ask - is this a serious answer? Roon is picking up the artist correctly as well as the compilation. Not trying to be rude - just trying to find a solution as i much prefer PlexAmp to Roon for example.
