    Hi All,
    I'm a new Jellyfin user and deployed it on Synology (version 10.10.7 on DSM 7.2).
    I created a library named "Music" that contains 1 big folder named "5 stars static owned" (old songs which I had rated 5 stars  Upside-down-face).

    Surprisingly, when I open the library and see the initial view ("albums"), only 1 album is shown and is named "5 stars static owned".
    When I edit metadata of any song in the folder, I see the correct album name for all songs, so the metadata is clearly OK.

    I already tried removing the folder, rescan the whole (empty) library, add my songs again, rescan the whole library: same result.

    Can you please help me get the "albums" section to properly display albums, and not the root folder they are in?

    Thank you!

    Update: I also created another folder and named it "5stars". I moved a dozen of songs from "5 stars static owned" to "5stars" to see how it would react.
    I expected the same (wrong) behaviour, that is,have those 12 songs displayed behing an album named "5stars".
    Even more surprising behaviour now: the album name for that dozen of songs is not "5stars" but well the correct album name... of the first song of the list - for the 12 songs!

    Did I do something wrong with my files structure?
