Description
Change the default for setting "musicvideosallperformers" to "true"
Motivation and Context
In Kodi versions 18 and prior, the behavior for musicvideo library "artists" node is to display all artists (actors) related to musicvideo items in the video db.
Kodi 19 PR#18386 adds a new setting that toggles display of "all performers" or "main performers". The current default for the setting is false, so only "main performers" are displayed. As a result a user upgrading an existing Kodi client to v19 will have a changed experience when viewing musicvideo artists. If the user is unaware of the new setting, it appears that artists are "missing" from the view. This PR will result in users seeing the same artists as in prior versions by default.
How Has This Been Tested?
installed Kodi 18.9 Win x64 from exe nullsoft installer as a portable install on Win 10 2004.. Added a musicvideo source and scanned to library. Opened musicvideo artist library node and observed 1461 artists in listing.
installed Kodi 19 B3 from exe nullsoft installer on top of 18.9. Opened musicvideo artist library node and observed 258 artists.
Repeated, but replaced system\settings\settings.xml with updated version prior to first execution of kodi after upgrade to Kodi 19 B3. Opened musicvideo artist library node and observed 1461 artists.
Note: Wiki for settings/video/media has not been updated in "Changes in Kodi 19 Matrix" to show this new setting.
