Unusual Server Behavior with Genres

Hello - I'm moving a conversation that started in another thread to here, since it's more appropriate. Here's the original discussion:

(posts 837 - 841)

The short of it is that there is an inconsistency in the behavior between accessing LMS from the browser interface vs. controllers (like Squeeze Control in my case). It came up because I was looking to specifically play holiday music by artists (where I've tagged their specific holiday albums with a tag "holiday") and was searching by genre.

If I attempt to play holiday music via the web server vs. Squeeze Control I see different behavior. The web is correct, and according to wt0 and slartibartfast the behavior needs to be corrected in LMS. (I'm a bit out of my depth here). Anyway, here's the behavior:

Via the browser (localhost:9000): if I select My Music -> Genres -> Holiday (as an example) -> and then select the triangle play button that is in the same row as a specific artist it will play JUST the holiday albums by that artist.

Via squeeze control: if I select My Music -> Genres -> Holiday (or whatever) -> scroll to specific artist, press and hold the circle-plus button and select play, it will queue ALL albums by that artist, not just the holiday albums. (Same with Add To End and Play Next, both add all albums not just the specific genre'd albums).

slartibartfast confirmed the behavior is correct in Material Skin but not in Orange Squeeze as additional data points showing the inconsistency.

Thanks for the help!
