Artist page - group albums by type means not all albums show

[eriatarka1]

Issue description:

I have some albums tagged with an albumtype which has three parts e.g. Album Live Anthology or Album Live Soundtrack

On the artist page if I turn on “Group albums by type” option in Interface > Artist page, which is my preference, the groupings don’t quite work as they had previously.

For example, for Talking Heads I have one album tagged “Album Live” and one “Album Live Soundtrack” - it shows only the “Album Live Soundtrack” album, under the grouping “Album Live”. The album which is “Album Live” doesn’t show on the page at all. The albumtype tag shows on the album pages for both of these albums as tagged.

All the albums show under the artist if I turn off the “Group albums by type” so the grouping by artist is working.

Why don’t you use proper multi valued data or proper already handled separator like / ?

I’ll need proper logs during a sync or preferably upload some songs of those albums to https://upload.symfonium.app

Actually was able to reproduce, this is a collision due to too large similar start of the types.

You really should use splitable values for better support and searches.

Thanks Tolriq - I always forget about multivalue tags as I never used to use them (and it had worked in previous versions, but no need to make changes for someone using it wrong!)
