Why interpretor instead of author in a play-list?

Using a test album, I have checked exactly what MinimServer and Synology Media Server are sending to the control point for the album and the album tracks.

For the album, both MinimServer and Synology Media Server send the AlbumArtist as a standard Artist tag. In addition, MinimServer sends the AlbumArtist as a standard AlbumArtist tag.

For the album tracks, Synology Media Server sends Artist information as a standard Artist tag and sends AlbumArtist information in a nonstandard format that cannot be read by most control points. It appears the HEOS app is unable to read this nonstandard format and this is why you are seeing Artist information for the album tracks.

For the album tracks, MinimServer sends Artist information as a standard Artist tag and sends AlbumArtist information in a standard format that can be read by most control points. It appears the HEOS app is unable to read this format correctly and is misinterpreting the AlbumArtist information as if it were Artist information. This is why you are seeing AlbumArtist information for the tracks when you use MinimServer.

You can configure MinimServer to not send AlbumArtist information by setting the upnpCustom property to roleTags={}. This should make the HEOS app show what you want when using MinimServer.
