Jellyfin not displaying extras, scenes by filename

[ausar47]

I put some files in directories like scenes, samples or extras. Jellyfin used to display them by filename at the bottom.
   
After upgrading to 10.10, I found that Jellyfin no longer displays them by filename, but rather displays them all in the same name sliced from the filename. How can I configure back to the old way?

10.10 still shows the file names.

   

Does this happen with all shows/movies?  Or just one?  Try "replace all metadata" for the show or "find missing metadata"?

It happens with all shows and movies

I think those settings could be the reason. 
   
However, box checked or not, the extras are always displayed as the same sliced title. Those that might have embedde titles are displayed in season title like I posted before, while others are displayed with the first few words of the filename.
   
Just disabled all metadata provider and scanned a new season. It looks like Jellyfin 10.10 no longer uses full filename as title if no internet metadata is provided. Instead, it's using a part of filename automatically. For example, "[Snow-Raws] ハイスクールD×D NEW ED02 (BD 1920x1080 HEVC-YUV420P10 FLAC)" will be displayed as "ハイスクールD×D NEW ED02", while files that has brackets will be wrongly displayed, such as "[VCB-S&philosophy-raws][High School DxD BorN][NCED][BDRIP][Hi10P FLAC][1920X1080]" being displayed as " [VCB-S&philosophy-raws".
In other words, I assume Jellyfin is using brackets as one kind of EOF. There might be some reason in it, but I find it quite annoying.

What about that first box? I tried toggling that box, only to realize that my extras don't have any titles.

If you unchecked the first box regarding titles over file names, what happens?

Unfortunately, no difference. Like I observed before, Jellyfin is slicing filename with square brackets.

What are the file names?

What are the file names?

File names such as "[VCB-S&philosophy-raws][High School DxD BorN][NCED][BDRIP][Hi10P FLAC][1920X1080]" are displayed as " [VCB-S&philosophy-raws", like I mentioned above.

Yeaaaaaah. That's a terrible file name. Square brackets are used for some functionality in Jellyfin and I'm wondering if its only reading the first block.

Hey, I think I have a similar issue? My extras are not using the file names at all, regardless of library settings and metadata refreshes.

I think I had the "Prefer embedded titles over filenames" enabled when initially setting up the library, but disabling it is making no difference on any "Replace all metadata" scan for the library, movie, or extras item.

I can see the video metadata in the files themselves using other programs - the names Jellyfin is using and not updating is definitely from the metadata embedded in the video files.

I'm on Linux and have had these files organised since they were on a Windows machine, so permissions issues could be a thing - but I don't see any such issue in the Jellyfin server logs, playback works fine, Jellyfin can read the filename when I dig into the video's media info pop-up in Jellyfin library view, and so on and so on. And if it's impacting the OP and they don't have that same changing-OS history like mine, then it could just be a problem with the library metadata scanning.


Visuals:





So, right now I'm digging around for ways to bulk-update video metadata based on filenames, since that does seem like the best option for proper library organisation in the long-term... but this does feel like there's a problem with Jellyfin's metadata scanning from this situation.

Edit: Making a new library with the desired settings from the start AND renaming the parent directory of all of the old library's content so it appears to be "new" to the Jellyfin server allows the content to use filenames as the content titles as intended.

Making a new library with the desired settings from the start but NOT making the files appear new is not enough - Jellyfin will recognise files and apply their old metadata when scanning that new library. Gotta have something change in the file path to force Jellyfin to treat the content as new to make this workaround work.
