Book showing the series name instead of the book name - hornakapopolis - 2025-03-20
Away from the house and posting quickly, so will clarify later if any confusion.
Setting up my library and just added 'A Song of Ice and Fire' books. They're showing up as pictured, with the series name in the top line, which is usually clickable, but here it's not, and the title of the book where the publication year normally is, which is what you click to take you to the book's details. (You can't see my cursor, but my mouse is on the 'A Dance With Dragons: A So..." text)
There's no field identifying series in the Jellyfin metadata screen. I see no option (there's hardly any, anyway) to have it do this in the library settings. While typing this, I did realize that the folder and file is named with an underscore ( _ ) instead of a dash, as I pulled it from calibre. Does Jellyfin identify text following an underscore as a series title and do this? I'm not finding anything saying that doing a quick search.

Are these text books or audio books? With audio books, the "album" and "title" fields in the metadata tags is used for two display names you've mentioned.
I don't have any epub or pdf books to test with.
As for the clickability of each line, that may just be a quirk with how the books library works? Not sure.

They're all epub
And I've since removed the underscore, did a rescan, and it didn't do anything.
(But, I'll admit you got my hopes up because if there *anything* likely in this world, it's me doing something stpupid like accidentally moving the audiobooks into the regular books' folder.
