Wrong artist displaying
I'm not sure where the fault lies with this, so I figured I'd start here.

I have a playlist with about 4,500 songs. I'm using the current version of MinimServer on my QNAP NAS and listening through Roku Media Player (an application for the Roku).

The source material is all FLAC files from my own network, and all files have been generated and tagged through foobar2000. I purposely eliminated any entries in all artist fields other than "artist" ("album artist", "composer", etc.). Different software seems to treat these fields inconsistently, so I wanted to make sure "artist" was the only thing I cared about.

When playing back through Roku Media Player, all songs that have "Greatest Hits" as the album title are showing the same artist, which happens to be the last artist I created FLAC files for with this album title. The rest of the song info is correct (song title, length, date, album art displayed).

I'm not sure if this is happening with other album title conflicts, but you can imagine that "Greatest Hits" might come up rather often in a large library.

Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong in configuration. I looked through MinimServer documentation and didn't see anything related to my problem.
