Compilations appear multiple times when viewing Albums - MrMcMillan - 2013-01-23
Having an issue with albums that have multiple artists involved. When viewing by Album, I get the album displayed x number of artist variation, even though album artist is set to "Various Artists".
Any way to fix this?

It should work fine in Frodo (and Eden for that matter). Provide a couple of files for testing.

Hi JMarshall,
Problem occurs on the recent RC3. I've PM'd you with a link to a RAR that includes 6 files that exhibit that problem.
Thanks!

Both track 3's in the rar you sent don't have Various Artists set as the album artist. The other 4 tracks do.
XBMC detects 2 cases:
1. All albumartists+album the same.
2. At least 2 primary artists differ and no albumartist is set.
i.e. if you're going to set the album artist on some tracks, set it on all of them.
