Custom browse: Display artist tag when browsing albums

[Kvaks]

Hi! Now that I've paid for Custom browse, I feel less reserved about bothering you with questions, Erland. ;-)

The following problem arose when I upgraded to SBS 7.6. In SBS 7.5, when browsing using, say, the Random Albums function (which I use a lot), albums were listed as (if I recall correctly): "Album title (Artist name)". After upgrading to 7.6, the albums are only listed as "Album title", leaving me to try to remember, or click each album to inspect further, which artist the album belongs to.

Is there any way to fix this so that the albums are once again listed with the artist name next to it?

This is how it currently looks today on my system:

By the way, I already have the option "Show artist with album" enabled:

It's a limitation in 7.6 at the moment due to limitations in SQLite database, but I hope to be able to solve it sometime this week, so remind me again if I haven't released something that works at the end of this week. I'm not sure I'll get it to display all artists when you have multiple album artists but in the other cases when there is a single album artist I think it should be possible to solve.

What's the limitation in SQLite that prevents this?

No support for group_concat function which I'm using in all these to be able to list multiple artists. Standard SBS handles it in the perl code I think or it uses the albums.contributor fields instead of using the contributor_album/contributor_track tables. My plan is to switch to use albums.contributor which doesn't need group_concat since there can only be one artist per album then.

Thanks, I wonder if that's new or if I just missed it before.

Thank you for the plugin update!
