Japanese characters not being recognized - coretsh - 2024-06-22

Using docker jellyfin 10.9.6
Recently moved created new folders to allow enable data checksum for advanced data integrity. Did this by pausing all containers on portainer. 

Creating new folders with different names. transfer all files over and then renamed old folder and named new folder same as before.

Restart containers.

When checked all video folders worked like before. 
Checked and most music folders working okay. 
Found problems with music that contains Japanese characters that would not allow folder to load in jellyfin.
Tried to rescan. Tried to change folder name.
Found I was able to create new folder and copy all but the japanese album and all load properly. When added japanese album music album loads but doesn't include japanese album.

Tried to rescan another folder that has more japanese and korean music but album fails to load anything at all.

music attachment bottom file is the album that wont load.    
 others loading correctly.
I have tried going directly to folder with music ie the japanese character album and still doesn't load.

Have you removed the "dotnet_system_globalization_invariant" environment variable?

According to the Jellyfin devs from a blog post for v10.9:

Quote:Docker users:

If you encounter problems loading your homepage, you may need to remove the DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT environment variable from your container, as this is no longer valid in Jellyfin 10.9.0. For more details please see these issues.

The reason I bring this up is because that variable affects things like Japanese-specific data.

This with some other things ended up working. While I tried to change the 0 to 1 in DOTNET on portainer i couldn't remake the container to take affect and have it stay 0. kept changing to 1 after I tried to edit and re-duplicate container. I just couldn't figure it out.
Ended up going into container manager on synology and making a new container for jellyfin. The image it pulled doesn't include that DOTNET EVN. this allowed it to find music in those folders.
Thank you for the help.
