Is that artist’s album a complication album?

How are you accessing Plex Web? app.plex.tv or ip:port? If it repro’s on app.plex.tv, it’s probably this: [Music Artist with no album groupings results in an error - regression with 4.121.1 - #8 by Atomatth](https://forums.plex.tv/t/music-artist-with-no-album-groupings-results-in-an-error-regression-with-4-121-1/863359/8)

In the artist “队长”, there is only one album, and there is only one song in the album.

Thank you for providing an important clue

- Using IP access is normal
- Using “app. plex. tv" access is error

It definitely sounds like the issue I linked then. From that post, a fix has been made, but it hasn’t made it to the public yet. A temporary workaround is to disable groping albums by type (mentioned later in that thread: [Music Artist with no album groupings results in an error - regression with 4.121.1 - #18 by solstyce9](https://forums.plex.tv/t/music-artist-with-no-album-groupings-results-in-an-error-regression-with-4-121-1/863359/18)).
