    Hey everyone,

    in the past, I think it was possible with Jellyfin to automatically split multiple artists in a music library by the string "feat.". So, a file tagged with "Eminem feat. His Mother" did automatically create the artists "Eminem" and "His Mother".

    This does not seem to work anymore on 10.10.7 and also not on the latest 10.11 RC4. I tested with clean installations. I can see in the code that there is still a function to split on "feat." and it is even executed, but the result is not regarded for the actual music database storage. Is this intended, or is this a bug? I have read multiple Github issues regarding splitting artists, but I was a bit confused by it.

    I know about the option to configure custom separators, but those are single characters and you cannot define "feat." as custom separator, right?

    Thanks alot!

    I installed 10.9.11 from scratch and tested with that. That version properly splits artists on "feat.", so this seems to be a bug in 10.10.x.
