I have set

"aliasTags = AlbumArtist:Album, Album:AlbumArtist"

and

"tagOptions = Album.sortTags={AlbumArtist}"

this seems to sort them correctly, even better it puts the artist name above the album in n albums view. Just want to check you cant see any issue with these settings

I wouldn't recommend doing this. This setting for aliasTags will treat all your album names as album artist names and will treat all your album artist names as album names.

But by doing so, it seems n-stream is requesting the Album tag and Minimserver is sending the AlbumArtist tag to it for its sort order, which is what i want it to do.

Also when n-stream requests the AlbumArtist tag minimserver is sending the Album tag.

So now in n album view it shows the album artwork with the correct AlbumArtist underneath and below this the Album, and is sorted by AlbumArtist.

As long as its not causing some sort of endless loop minimserver or conflicts somehow. Cant see anything bad in the logs.
