Truncated Names - Precise7955 - 2025-05-26

Hi,
     In my Libraries I have items with names that get truncated so i can't identify them. Hoping someone has a way to disable truncating of names.
An example:
Code:
Oceansize: Feed To F...      Oceansize: Feed To F...      Oceansize: Feed To F...
      2009                                    2009                                    2009

These are 3 distinct media that all *start* with the same title. I should note that these are not episodes of a season. This is an extreme example but I find all names are truncated in my libraries. I can usually suss out the title/video with a combination of the truncated name and the image -but that isn't always possible. 

Ideally I would like a way to tell Jellyfin not to truncate the names of media.
I very much hope that this is not some hot button topic -I'm just genuinely looking for a way to deal with this.

Thank you very much for your time!

(I search the issue in the forums and while 'truncating' returned many results I couldn't t see that any of the results I checked related. 'truncated' yielded two results but neither mentioned this issue. I found issue https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/8096 but I think it is not the same issue I'm referring to.)

(edits 1 through 58 were me stumbling trying to get the image to show. Looks like that's just over my head
