Only AlbumtArtist, ignore Artist
Hello, I am trying an number of upnp music players (Jplay for Ios, Mconnect) in combination with Minimserver.

Technically, everything is working fine, but I am runnin ginto the following:
when I ripped my CD-collection, I have added metadata as complete as possible.
I.e. I have an AlbumArtist for all my albums. But I have also at least one (and often more) artist for every album.

As a result I am having far more Artists shown in my music player(s), than the actual number of albums. For me it is unworkable this way.

Is there a way that I can exclude Artists for Artist sorting, and only having Albumartists taken into account?

Based on the documentation, and input on other forums:

This is how my indexTags line in configuration looks like:
AlbumArtist, Date, Genre, Composer, *RecentAdded, *RecentPlayed, #AudioData, #AudioFormat

and this os whow tagValue looks like:
Artist.merge={AlbumArtist}

However, this is not resolving my issue.

Any recommendation if and how it can be done would be more than welcome.

(sorry if this has already answered, nut I am a Minimserver newbie, and could not find an answer on this forum).

Thanks in advance

Dirk
