Issue description:

The albumartist tag isn’t showing up in the top bar title/subtitle text. I tried with the custom text and the Album artist options; neither worked.

Upload description: Vix - top bar albumartist issue

I checked my album artist tags on Oto Music and Mixplorer and they were present. This issue also affects the Strings in Controls and Information.

Edit top bar subtitle text

Change option to Custom or Album artist (Custom - type “by %albumartist%”)

Check preview - shows up correctly

Check Now playing - blank space where it should be.

Vix - top bar albumartist issue (2) is the new debug log. I always forget how they work.

Hum yes since before there was no direct access in the database it’s only stored if the value is different from the track artist to gain space.

Will change for next release as it’s needed to differentiate real empty from duplicate now.

You can use something like by {%albumartist%}{%artist|albumartist==empty%} that should work with current version
