Issue description
Setup: Symfonium / Navidrome (OpenSubsonic) / library tagged with multi-valued artists and albumartists tags; every track’s participants are fully populated server-side.
Current behavior:
The primary artist line (e.g. String 2 – Display Artist in the Now Playing template) renders the server’s displayArtist string. That’s correct per the spec — my tags deliberately keep the display artist as the main act only (e.g. “DJ Khaled”), with all participants in the multi-valued artists array (“DJ Khaled”, “Drake”, “Lil Baby”).
Tapping the Display Artist during playback correctly lists all artists from the artists array — so the participant data is clearly received and available. However, I can’t find any template value or UI option that renders the joined artists array as the primary display line itself.
I also tried the “Additional Artists” field for this, but the value it renders doesn’t correspond to the artists array on my tracks, and I couldn’t determine which field it’s derived from.
Requested:
A template value (or display option) that renders the joined OpenSubsonic artists participants — e.g. “DJ Khaled, Drake, Lil Baby” — usable as the primary artist line in Now Playing and list rows. Libraries tagged to modern multi-artist conventions (clean displayArtist + full artists array) currently have no way to surface full credits at the row/player level, even though the app demonstrably has the data.
Reference: this seems adjacent to the implemented request “Allow names from the ‘artists’ tag to appear on the now playing screen” (#11051) — but as far as I can tell, no current template value exposes the artists array as a joinable string.
