Picard and Jellyfin problem

Hello! I just started using Picard for Jellyfin and Symfonium. But I have some problems with artist and album artist tags.

As you can see on the picture. Picard fetches fictional characters and adds weird mentions as “featuring” or “ft.”

This causes a lot of trouble with Jellyfin. It creates an artist called “Kevin Penkin ft. Raj” instead of linking the track to two different artists.

It also creates pages for fictional characters, in addition to their voice actors.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the best method would be for Picard to only tag as such:

Artist A; Artist B; Artist C; for everything

I asked chatgpt to make a script, he did this which solve partially the problem:

$set(artist,$join(%artists%,; ))

$set(albumartist,$join(%albumartists%,; ))

Fictional characters are still fetched as artists, though. Do you have an idea to expand the ChatGPT script? Or maybe fix my problems with something else entirely?

I do not use Jellyfin and I don’t know if that works but if you want to have the artists separated, you will probably have to create tags as multi-value tags.
Instead of $set() you should use $setmulti()
$setmulti — MusicBrainz Picard v2.13.3 documentation
And you don’t have to join artists - %artists% is already a multi-value variable.

There are plugins to move featuring artists into the title, and to remove them altogether
