PMS no longer handling multiple artists in tags?

This is a bit of a weird problem.

The Vorbis comment specification recommends tagging multiple artists in a track by having multiple artist tags (as opposed to all artists listed in a single tag). Plex used to handle this okay – it concatenated the tags and separated them with a slash. So, the tags:

ARTIST=Lady Gaga
ARTIST=Colby O'Donis

would result in an artist of “Lady Gaga/Colby O’Donis”.

At some point recently, this apparently changed. Now, PMS is only using the first artist tag (so, that example would result in “Lady Gaga”). This also occurs with album artist tags as well.

Any chance this could be fixed? Thanks!

(if it’s relevant, I’m currently running 1.13.5.5291 on the WD PR4100. Also, the library is a Premium Music library, the “Use embedded tags” checkbox is checked, and the affected files are all FLACs.)

It’s been a couple months – has this been looked at at all?

So I’m not crazy!

I left Plex because FLAC sync didn’t work, now I return and multiple artist tags don’t work.

This is really frustrating I noticed this earlier this month as well.
