Collections Question (Ones Using "&") - JustSummGuy - 2025-01-13

In my Collections, one of them has an odd quirk.

The Collection "Bill & Ted's Most Excellant Collection" Jellyfin creates always has the title:
Bill & Ted's Most Excellent Collection"

It creates it with the path:
/config/data/collections/Bill & Ted's Most Excellent Collection [boxset]

I ignore the path to avoid giving Jellyfin issues, but if I edit the title metadata and uncheck Name to lock it in, it still seems to recreate it at some point.  If I create a collection manually it will still create it's own duplicate collection.

It's the only collection with an "&" in the name, which I suspect is the issue.  (TMDB's Collections entry has the & in it's name, which is where it keeps getting it from, maybe?). 

The Fast & Furious movies have a "&" their title, but the collection is named "The Fast and the Furious Collection", that avoids the issue.

Anyone else have this issue?  Or am I the only one who watches Bill & Ted movies?

Are you using Jellyfin itself to make the collection automatically? Or the TMDB box set plugin?

I have the TMDb (v 10.10.3.1) and TMDb Box Sets (v 11.0.0.0) both installed and active.

I have just let Jellyfin do it's own thing to discover the collections on it's own and just ignored it for a while.
