Display Track Artist instead of Album Artist

RE: Display Track Artist instead of Album Artist
I tried BubbleUPnP again ( with Artist.displayFormat={$albumartist} ) and got the same results; no album artist shown on the now playing screen. What's interesting though, is that with the tagFormat value blank I get the artist displayed as "Various Artists" which is the tag I use for Artist. In other words, it must be doing something because it doesn't show the Artist tag, while still not displaying the Album Artist when I put "Artist.displayFormat={$albumartist}" in the tag format line.

What I'm looking for is a way to display the Artist for each song on a compilation album. I've been using Minimserver for years, and back in the old days I had issues with compilation albums that had different Artist tags. It would index it as separate albums for each artist, so if it was a large compilation I'd get 50 individual albums listed for the same compilation album. I went to tagging all of my compilation albums Artist tag as "Various Artists" and tagging the Album Artist tag specific to the track. This worked well for a long time until recently. Now when playing back compilation albums I don't have the individual artist listed on the now playing screen. Is there another workaround?

Thank you for the help!
