Plex compilation albums not showing up

[Gerretje_2024]

Hello,
Using WiiM Ultra now for about a month, mainly with Plex.
What strikes me is that albums of an artist that Plex marks as 'compilation' do not show up in the WiiM app under Plex.
When I look directly in the Plex software these albums show up onder 'compilation'.
Plex recognizes these albums also and tags them as 'compilation'
I checked the tagging and that is ok (just: Artist, Album, Track, Genre and tracknumbers, no album artist or VA).
I use MP3 tag for tagging.
When ik use the searchfunction in the WiiM app, I can find a track that is on the compilation album, so WiiM has it, but does not show it properly.

Anyone familiar with this issue?
Anyone has a solution?

Greetings from Holland.

I'm having an issue with Plex on the WiiM app (iPhone 16). Some albums do not show up under "Artist" but they are there if I look under "Albums" or "Tracks." Does anyone have a solution for correcting this? TIA!

I have found the same issue with the same album ( and other compilations), album above is not tagged as a compilation but Plex recognises it as one.
The solution is in the Plex server settings
Open the Plex server Settings, choose Library, click on Show Advanced, scroll down to Group albums by type and disable. Then scroll to the bottom and save...

I believe Symfonium is able to pull the releasetype groups from Plex, so hopefully WiiM will resolve this in a future update.

Yeah but then they aren't listed as 'compilations' anymore in plexamp I suppose? So not a real solution ...

It's been noted a number of times on the Plex Beta thread.
