Revisiting the Artist and All Artists Index

[simoncn]

I was about to point this out but @simbun beat me to it!

Because of this, my suggested alternative approach in post #2:

Quote:For this, you would need to set All Artists:Artist in indexTags (it is MinimServer's 'All Artists' index but the user is seeing it as 'Artist'). An alternative approach (simpler and clearer in my view) would be not to use aliasTags but instead set tagValue to Artists.default={Artist} so that all artists are tagged internally using the Artists tag, then put Artists:Artist in indexTags to show the Artists tag as the Artist index.

is not a good idea because it results in missing artists from the "real" Artist tag. The approach suggested by @paultaylor:

Quote:Again I have a field called artists field for multiple value track artists and I have configuration

aliasTags:Artists:-Artist

to replace Artist index with values from Artists field unless missing then fall back to artist field.

is better because it avoids this problem.
