But when using the default view for all albums for browsing these albums are shown.

My configuration of MinimServer is attached as well as the tagging data from a title of an album that has more than one album artist.

MinimServer doesn't allow multiple values for the AlbumArtist tag. If you select 'Show log' from MinimWatch, you'll see a number of warning messages telling you that these conflicting AlbumArtist tags have been ignored. The tracks have been added to your library, but without any AlbumArtist tags.

As an alternative, you can use multiple values for the Artist tag, or you can create a new custom tag (such as "Main Artist") and use multiple values for this tag.

The AlbumArtist tag is limited to a single value because this tag represents the overall artist for the whole album. This "album artist" value is used in various contexts for grouping tracks belonging to the same album. This is consistent with how other servers and control points treat the AlbumArtist tag.
