AlbumArtist find is not falling back to Artist

[mxjeff]

Here is a follow-up of the thread "find command with albumartist type".

I have an album of 5 tracks, only one of them is tagged with AlbumArtist.

Running a find command on AlbumArtist I should get only this track, here is what I got:

printf 'find albumartist "La Jungle" \nclose \n' | \
    nc localhost 6600 | \
    awk -F: 'tolower($1) ~ /^(albumartist|album|file)/'

file: La Jungle/2016-II/01-La Jungle - Hahehiho.flac
Album: II
Artist: La Jungle
AlbumArtist: La Jungle
file: La Jungle/2016-II/02-La Jungle - Technically You're Dead.flac
Album: II
Artist: La Jungle
file: La Jungle/2016-II/03-La Jungle - Helizona.flac
Album: II
Artist: La Jungle
file: La Jungle/2016-II/04-La Jungle - Blood Watermelon.flac
Album: II
Artist: La Jungle
file: La Jungle/2016-II/05-La Jungle - Cold.flac
Album: II
Artist: La Jungle

• output of “mpd --version”

Tested with 0.20.11, 0.20.18 and 0.19.21 (>0.20 tested with docker builds, 1.19.21 is Debian/Stretch build).

• be clear about what you expect MPD to do, and what is actually happening

The find command should fall back to Artist find only when AlbumArtist returns no results.

Expecting a single track found, ie. "file: La Jungle/2016-II/01-La Jungle - Hahehiho.flac":

printf 'find albumartist "La Jungle" \nclose \n' | \
    nc localhost 6600 | \
    awk -F: 'tolower($1) ~ /^(albumartist|album|file)/'

file: La Jungle/2016-II/01-La Jungle - Hahehiho.flac
Album: II
Artist: La Jungle
AlbumArtist: La Jungle
file: La Jungle/2016-II/02-La Jungle - Technically You're Dead.flac

There are no relevant log messages associated.

This fallback is per song, not per result. What you see is correct behavior.
