Issue description
If I hide any folder in the Source Filter menu, the artist “Various artists” (VA) is removed from the “All artists” screen.
VA remains accessible in the Album Artist library screen.

Local device
Steps to reproduce
- have tracks tagged as
Various Artistsin the Album Artist field - have multiple folders added to the provider
- enable both the “Album artists” and the “All artists” chips in the Search page
- search for “Various artists”. It should show under both “Album artists” and “All artists”
- open Source Filter, hide any folder (preferably one that doesn’t contain any VA media)
- search again for “Various artists”. It will now be visible only under “Album artists”
Additional information
The folder being hidden does not need to contain any tracks tagged as VA. The “All artist” result will be hidden regardless.
If it matters, my library only includes VA in the ALBUMARTIST field. None of my tracks include VA in the performing ARTIST field. Other Album Artists with no attributed tracks (e.g. unit names, such as GuraMarine ) remain visible in both categories.
GIF: The folder disabled does not contain any tracks tagged with VA.
