Files View shows Album Artist, not folder name

App version

Production

Issue description

I like to keep albums by some artists (eg John McLaughlin) together in a folder, then in the Album Artist field I will put the full album artist (eg John McLaughlin & Shakti). In Symphonium’s files view, I’d like to see the folders, but instead I’m seeing the album artists. I set the Report Real Path flag in Navidrome, but am still seeing album artists. I also did a sync from Symphonium. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Device type

Phone

Media provider

Navidrome

Steps to reproduce

  1. Put albums in single folder where albums have different Album Artists
  2. View in Symfonium files view
  3. Files view shows albums by Album Artist, not by folder name

Symfonium shows the data that the server returns. Enable report real file names on the client on Navidrome side it may fix this.

I did set that already

@deluan is this a known choice on your side ?

Navidrome does not support browser-by-folder: FAQ | Navidrome

It simulates it by artist/album. The “Report Real Path” is for the path attribute in Child.
