Yes, its an intentional change it seems and the Plex staff seems pretty insistent that the issue is that I’m not following their prescribed library management hierarchy…
Server Version#: 1.23.3.4707
Player Version#: N/A
I just upgraded to 1.23.3.4707 and Plex is no longer processing Albums with Various Artists anymore. Instead, it is creating a new Album with each Track Artist being the Album Artist…
I have 100+ new albums for what should just be 3 albums…
Background:
I’ve manually added album artists for a large number of albums in order to have them appear in certain “artists” when browsing by artist. Examples being Soundtracks, Video Games, Kids Music, Broadway, Disney, etc, etc. I know it’s an odd way to organize, but the family enjoys being able to go to a particular artist to hit all soundtracks for example.
The Issue:
I am no longer able to update the Album Artist for an album without the entire album unmatching and losing other metadata…
