My setup: jellyfin docker container on a Synology DS420+, I'm using Jellyfin for my music library only
The issue: artists with special characters in their name can no longer be found via search and don't show up under artists/album artists
The albums themselves still show up and I can click on the artist name to get to their page but it's basically empty, no album list, nothing.
Searching for the band name turns up nothing (albums with special characters do show up in the list but search also does not find them). Search queries also take 90 seconds or more and cause extreme HDD noise from the NAS, although this might be an unrelated issue.
Examples:
Album shows up in album list (and search) and looks fine, "More like this" also shows other albums from the same artist.
Artist page is empty. I manually added all the images and they're still there, though.
I didn't notice this immediately so the logs from shortly after the update are gone but going through the recent logs, there are a lot of entries like this:
I did not remove anything from my library and all these supposedly "dead" artists have special characters in their name.
Any ideas? I'm guessing I could downgrade manually and rebuild the library with a previous version but that would probably lose all my carefully curated artist images. Joke's on me for letting containers auto-update, I guess.
