Worked

I'm pleased to hear that!

This problem is caused by a combination of various things:

1) For albums that have different artists on different tracks and no AlbumArtist tag, MinimServer creates a synthetic album artist which is used to display an Artist value when viewing the complete album

2) By default, MinimServer sends this synthetic album artist value (or an AlbumArtist value if specified) to the control point in the XML tag <upnp:artist role="albumArtist">. It sends this for the album and for every track in the album. Some control points (e.g., Linn Kinsky) need this XML tag for correct display of album artists and track artists in the playlist.

3) Most control points that don't need this XML tag ignore it completely, but some control points ignore the role="albumArtist" part of the XML tag and treat it as a <upnp:artist> tag. This causes the problem you are seeing.

It seems that n-stream is one of the control points that behaves as described in 3). By setting '-AlbumArtist.display.artistRole' in tagCustom, you are preventing MinimServer from doing 2).
