Android TV (Shield) client bugs when playing movies that have multiple versions

[theguymadmax]

If the filename includes resolution information after the dash, the files will be sorted from highest to lowest resolution. If there’s no resolution specified, they’ll be sorted alphabetically. This is the intended behavior, but a few bugs were just fixed, so it should work correctly in the next release. For now, however, files will be sorted by resolution, from highest to lowest, regardless of how they are named.

1st bug might just be Android TV issue.  - I actually don't have this issue
2nd one is a bug that has be well documented. - This issue occurs for me when I have two movies that aren’t configured as multiple versions, meaning they’re in different folders or without the dash in filename. I’ve also encountered it with multiple versions in the past, but I was able to fix it by making some edits to the database.

There's a bug with the server that fails to delete alternative versions from the database when they are renamed or removed. I believe the two other bugs are side effects of this issue.

Aside from a fresh install, the only way I’ve resolved issues with multiple versions is by editing the database to remove "ghost" entries. If you’d like to give it a try, here are the steps:

1. Download SQLite Browser
   
2. Shut down the server.
   
3. Open library.db (always back up first!). Locations vary:
   • /var/lib/jellyfin/data/library.db
     
   • X:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server\data\library.db
     
   • X:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\jellyfin\data\library.db
     
4. Choose the “Browse Data” tab and select “TypedBaseItems.”
   
5. Filter for the movie title in “Filter in any column”; you can refine it using the “Path” field.
   
6. Find the old entries of type “MediaBrowser.Controller.Entities.Video,” right-click, and delete the record.
   
7. Click “Write Changes,” close the database, and restart the server.
   

For your example, you should only have two entries for JP: one for "MediaBrowser.Controller.Entities.Movie.Movie" and one for "MediaBrowser.Controller.Entities.Video". Keeps those and delete the rest.
