Albums not populating under album artist - nxllxvxxd - 2025-04-11

Server Version: 10.11.0
WebUI Version: 10.11.0
Okay so I recently updated from an older version of Jellyfin something in the 10.10.x line I can't recall. Well, I let the database transfer run, and it was piping out errors left and right. I ignored them and moved on. Well then none of my albums were showing under their respective album artists. Figuring that maybe this was a result of the errors I was seeing I bit the bullet, deleted my Jellyfin install, my Jellyfin data, and all .nfo files I had stored alongside all my media and restarted from scratch. Well, the issue is still present even on a fresh scan with a clean database.

Home page after a fresh scan of only 1 of my music folders (I have music split between two drives atm and was seeing if that was maybe the issue)

Album page showing that it is still linking like albums based on things like genres and showing it contains an album artist

Album artist page, note that for some reason it also duplicates the same artist under similar artists, another unusual/unintended? action is that if you click on that artist you are stuck in that page unless you refresh

There is no odd behavior in logs and all my media is organized properly as you can see from the ffprobe I provide below:

OS: Windows 11 (idk what version some Alpha ring prerelease)

EDIT:
Yes I have checked this against other artists, and the music is still playable
EDIT DOS
Just did some more checking, the albums also do not appear alongside the duplicate artist. Another issue is that if I visit the album itself and click play it pops an error saying it can't play but if I press a song it works fine
EDIT 3
I have triple checked my tags on the individual audio files and ran experiments with Picard so that also isn't the issue

Version 10.11 is an unstable build and should only be used for testing purposes. Jellyfin is in the process of a major EFCore refactor. Here are a few posts about it:

You have discovered some of the many bugs on the 10.11 build.

Here is one of the issues that you are having:

Stick to stable if you don't want to be a guinea pig. Or search GitHub for issues that are similar to yours, and if there isn't one, create a new issue.

Thank you for pointing to the issues I am having and providing links I'll more than likely stick to stable atm if that is a bug and wait until it is patched/a solution is provided.

Also, side note, you ain't gotta say it like that lmfao, no shit I'm a guinea pig using unstable kinda the point. Note the Windows Preview Alpha I described, I was running Win 11 before you ever seen it lil bro 😭😭😭
